Yeah. There is essentially nothing out there for hoops. It’s crazy.
With the drop off from local papers and from The Athletic, there is just not any news and the first game is in three weeks
If you're including oregonlive as local, I must disagree. With Nemec and Crepea there is always considerable coverage and analysis of Oregon men's and women's basketball. My God, it's 3 weeks away, please.
Agree that there is decent coverage during the season locally. However, there was a practice / scrimmage this week that was open to the public. There is huge upside for this team with a possible final four run and a bunch of newcomers and not a single word about the scrimmage anywhere. That's crazy.
Who performed well in the open practice / scrimmage?
Which newcomers are positioning for playing time?
Is our roster so deep that Eric Williams is coming off the bench, as suggested by Rothstein? If so, that is nuts.
This open scrimmage and lack of coverage surprised me. There was no article on Goducks before or after. Though I don't have a subscription to the Register Guard a google search didnt show a mention. Was it an impromptu open instead of a planned event like a kickoff scrimmage media event?

Looking at the pictures, that is not an open scrimmage crowd. Very few if any students. Looked more like athletic department personnel and maybe a few VIP guests.
I thought Dante improved a bunch between his first short season to his second even shorter season. If he improved more, as one would suspect and Big Frank is close to his equal, the post position will be a real strength.
