Back when the Ducks beat the Trojans it was kind of like, "Yeah, but it was the Trojans". since falling to the Beavers & Ducks the Trojans haven't lost and are now in a 2nd place tie at 5-2 with Utah & AZ, who the Trojans just beat today, ASU is 4-3.
Watched the start of the Huskies @ Beavers game and for a while I thought it might be a case of Deja Vu; Washington got out to an 11-0, 17-2 lead, but the Beavers never managed to get close, eventually lost by 10.

Oregon playing well in the 2nd half. Much better ball movement and their defense has really improved.

The rebound and put back by White was lovely

WSU just falling apart here. Bad turnovers and forced jumpers late in the shot clock have turned a 4 point halftime lead into a 15-point deficit.

Pritchard wh at the hell!

Oregon looks so much better when they have at least a couple people scoring big. They have 20+ point games from Wooten and King with White a basket away from hitting that mark as well.

Ducks up twenty and Pritchard doing weird stuff. Go Ducks!

Nice to see Bailey hit another 3. Hopefully that gets him going again for next week.

All nine players scored for Oregon

Yeah nice games from White and King. Wazzu is awful.

Can people STFU about the one-and-done thing please. Our 2 best players this year have been Bol and King. If you think we're bad now, imagine how bad we would be without them.

The problem has been the 2+ year guys, not the one-and-dones.

Looking at the league I would argue that despite the injuries/transfers this Oregon team can potentially win the league Tournament and go to the NCAA's.
UCLA, Arizona, USC, and now WSU have looked awful. Some of the poorest execution and play I have seen from a college team. This is as poor as the Conference has been from top to bottom in my memory.

King is a big difference maker obviously and is it just me or are they playing more man which seems to be helping defensively?

Of course it can turn around, but I don't see the Ducks putting together a winning streak long enough to win the P12 tournament.
