A loss isn't the end of hope here.

Yup, no reason to be a debbie downer. Let's turn the defensive heat up and earn our way in.

There is enough talent on this team, as well as coaching pinache, to pull it off.

Execution, execution, EXECUTION!

it's the same thing we need to pay attention to every week, and that's playing a full 40 minutes. we were playing really well against cal for most of our game last month, then we got lazy and started running under screens and left the best shooter in the pac-12 (allen crabbe) wide freaking open on the perimeter. cal got up 7-8 points, and things snowballed from there.

i've always thought monty was the best coach in the pac-10, dating back to his early stanford days. cal's able to put more talent on the floor than us, too. it's not an impossible task, but we're going to have to play our best game of the season.

It would also help if they overlook us and that 17 point win and think ahead to revenging the loss to the biebers.

Biggest game of the year IMO.


People seem to think that Cal is just slightly ahead of us in making the NCAA tourney. If we can beat them @ their place, we should be the first team considered for the NCAA Tournament!!!

Slightly ahead? About 30 spots ahead. But it is our one chance at a top 50 win, and it would be a road win at that. Time to make the committee think about how different a team we are with Devoe Joseph and what we would have done all year, and what we have done in the last 15 games.

At the very least. I think the Ducks will keep this one close, and I'll be disappointed if they don't. I want to believe they're past being blown out in this league this year. REALLY an opportunity game for them.

Glad its a Thursday game...

If there was one thing that disappointed me most about Oregon's play in the past, it was when it seems the Ducks ve literally snatched defeat from the jaws of victory... This team seems to avoid this better than some of the more "talented" Duck squads of the past, but they also seem to be improving and actually developing as a team moreso than some others we have witnessed.

I choose to believe that it is Altman's touch on the helm of the good ship, Oregon.

Let's ride this pony as far as she will take us.

Yes, I am indeed mixing my metafors!)

AGREED........

Thank goodness this game is late at night, I would hate to miss this game due to class. We have a legitimate shot at this game, but I'm not willing to buy in completely. I know Altman will have the team ready, but Cal is a solid bball team in every facet of the game and it is at Berkeley.

This game could make or break our season (obviously the P12 tournament is another opportunity). Hope for a win!

One thing the ducks need to do is pound the ball inside. The bears lost Solomon to
academics and he killed the ducks inside the first game. They are not deep in the post
area. They need to just take care of the ball and play their game. I think Oregon has a
good shot at this.
