My wife bought us tickets to this game for Christmas, and they're really nice seats! I've only been to one game since I moved about 9 years ago so I'm pretty excited. Bringing our 5 month old boy for his first Duck bball game too.
Ducks complete the home sweep of the Arizona schools with the 78-69 win over ASU. Overall, a much better shooting game for the Ducks but they really need for the big guys to be involved more and get their FT shooting a bit more consistent.
Checked the box scores because I don't remember Khalid Thomas playing. Turns out he hasn't gotten off the bench the last three games. I remember last May how desperate the Ducks were for guys, and Thomas opted in favor of ASU's roster stability instead. Kind of funny how things have changed since then. Coach Altman would have no room for him now, having filled all the spots with better players.
Just watched the replay. Our 3point shooting was great, but the game felt really inconsistent, especially on defense. Good win, but lots to still work on.

Agreed. Should have put that game away a lot earlier.
SIDENOTE: would like to see Juiston's passing utilized more. He's been struggling lately. Altman needs to get him going and put him in spots to succeed and he is good at creating shots for others in half-court, especially if matched up against other bigs.
