Brought this over here to an active discussion. Of course there are multiple reasons for a loss, and effort is one of them. I think the Ducks played with a similar fierceness against Gonzaga, a L, and Michigan a W, so no that doesn't determine a win or a loss.droop10 wrote:Lol. I remember a week ago people were bitching that the women were reading their own press, as that's the only way they could lose to ASU. Everyone here is so reactionary to every single game. It's also possible that sometimes teams lose even despite giving their best effort, though I've caught on to the trend on this board that indicates every basketball loss is due to Oregon not "wanting it badly enough." It's like it's impossible for college kids to just be inconsistent in performance, and they can't just have off games. How fiercely did the men compete when they got multiple top 10 wins earlier this season?Weston wrote:Yeah. This ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^. Would be nice, wouldn't it?rockthief wrote:Women beat #3 Stanford by 32 points. Men take note how fiercely they play and give it a (_+_($(&* try.

I did not see that same level in the game at WSU, and that lack of fire manifests itself in all areas of the game. Today the Ducks will need to be at level 1. It's hard enough to get a W on the road, much less off a L when the opponent is coming off a big W; they want this one, bad.
Now its time for Richardson to deserve the stsrt..Much of the time he is just another body on the floor..He needs to step up and play as well as he is capable of playing.. consistently..Tray Dub wrote:Mathis benched in favor of Richardson. High time.
