Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

that is, saint louis. the pac 12 is truly terrible this year.

These types of games happen in basketball... sometimes it only takes 1 or 2 good players to win a game for you.

But yes the Pac12 on average is really bad.

The Pac-12 didn't get the memo that college basketball talent was on the upswing

I'm fine with it though, it gives the Ducks a chance to make some noise in P-12 play.

oregon state, of all teams, has the best conference win to date with that overtime win over texas.

It is a nice win, but isn't Texas kind of down this season? Regardless, the Beavs actually have some talent.

Does Saint Louis still have the kid from North Eugene, and coached by Majeraus?

Are you talking about Conklin? He was a beast at North, and I remembered that he went to a school back east.

Just checked the box-score and Brian Conklin had 25 points and is averaging around 12 ppg. So yeah, he's doing very good!

conklin was one of those local kids that kent passed on so he could go take a flier out on some 6'7 super-athlete who couldn't shoot or do anything on a basketball court. conklin was awesome, and would have been productive -- not a star, but productive -- here in eugene. actually, he would have been a perfect altman-type big.

another local kid like conklin kent passed on? shea washington, out of thurston. dating myself a bit with this, he was in jordan kent's class and won MWL MVP over jordan their senior years. thurston/churchill had some epic games and kent was in attendance for every one. kent passed, shea went to montana state then transferred to southern oregon, southern oregon came up here for an exhibition game four years later and he torched every single one of the terrible duck big men kent took instead.
