USC is really underrated. Top of the Pac right now, and Okongwu might be the best player in the pac-12.

The advanced metrics are not USC fans. 6th in the Pac-12 despite their current first place in the standings.
We need to force turnovers because as noted Okongwu is a beast.

This will be two freshman beasts in a row for the Ducks to deal with; according to ESPN, Stewart has 5 lbs on Okongwu, 250-245. Stewart is ahead in PPG, 18.3 to 16.9, rebounds, 9.0 to 8.7. Okongwu has a slight advantage In FG %, 61.7 to 57.8. Stewart plays slightly more minutes per game, 31.6 to 28.8. Ducks did win the TO battle against, uw, 13-8.

At some point, the level of talent on the Ducks has to play up to it's ability. Currently we will have a random player get hot to go along with "Pritchard Time" wihen he takes control. I know this team is capable of more.

MattC, I agree. Hoping Duarte, Richardson, and Lawson play more consistently.
I also still am holding out hope for Shakur Juiston. He really does help us in defense and on the boards.

Lets get this kind of crowd back again! 56minute Mark has a great end to the first half

Juiston plays like a freshman sometimes.

Is Dante playing? I don’t see his name on the box score.

He's infuriating. Shows so much potential and then forces things and screws it up.

I haven’t watched this game so I can’t speak to it, but from what I’ve seen this season he looks like a low IQ player.
