Ducks were up 17 at one point in the 2nd half but had to hang on for the 6-point win down the stretch. I don't think Altman is going to be pleased with their effort in the final 8 minutes of the game.
Looks like Bittle was not on the bench last night. Any news on that?
That was a must win, so great to see Rigsby step up. I think we are still in decent shape to get a shot at the tourney. Surprisingly, our NET is 64 and we have no Q3 or Q4 losses, since, Irvine is continuing to play well. Every team we have lost to is in the current bracket.
We just need to get healthy, take care of business in conference play and finish in the Top 3-4 and we should sneak in.
The ceiling for this team defensively is so high if we can get the pieces in place in time.
Not sure about Bittle. Not sure if surgery is an option for him, but he's basically had the same injury since last March which they keep resting and then he hurts it again.
