We beat three tourney bound teams (ASU, UW, ASU), including one road and one neutral.
We have the second best NET in the PAC.
And we are not even “next 4 out”?
That is crap!

Tell me we are not better than ASU or NC State right now (who has 1 win in conference play over a tourney team)

Not saying we should be in, but if you put ASU or NCState vs Oregon on a neutral floor right now, Ducks win.

OREGON (22-12, 10-8, NET 56, KenPom 49)

Q1: 2-5

Q2: 4-4

Best wins: Syracuse, at Washington, Arizona State (2), at Arizona

Q3, Q4 losses: 3 (Oregon State, UCLA, Texas Southern)

Oregon fans hoping that reaching the Pac-12 title game will be enough to snag an at-large bid are going to be disappointed. The Ducks need to beat top-seeded Washington on Saturday night to make the NCAA tournament. While Oregon boasts a pair of wins over Arizona State and single victories over Syracuse and Washington, the Ducks are still just 2-5 in Quadrant 1 games and 4-4 in Quadrant 2. Home losses to UCLA and Oregon State hurt, as does one to Texas Southern. In most years, a team lands an NCAA bid if it wins 10 Pac-12 games and reaches the conference tournament title game. In one of the weakest Pac-12s in recent memory, however, that’s an NIT resume.

It was nice: the author wrote a whole paragraph on how the ducks aren't worthy. Usually it's just Washington and ASU and crickets. Somebody noticed us!
