Probably can afford to lose one of these games and still make the tournament (Without winning Pac-12 tourney). Realistically at this point, Oregon will have to win the Pac-12 tournament to go to NCAA tournament. Sad.

This is a pretty sloppy and ugly game, but gotta love the hustle! I don’t think I’ve seen the Oregon guards play with so much hustle! Hopefully their shot starts to fall.

PAC-12 officials at their finest tonight.

That one was too close for comfort but an exciting finish! Go ducks!

[greenyellow]

Oregon goes into clock milking mode way too soon. Nearly cost them once again. Good thing for Dante being in the right place at the right time.

Ducks up by 9 with 3:24 to play in the game. OSU goes on a 11-2 run and ties the game at 58 with 40 seconds to play.
A missed jump shot by Cousinard with 12 seconds to go is rebounded by Rigsby who misses a jump shot with 8 seconds to play. Rigsby boards his own miss with 4 seconds left. The ball ends up in Cousinard's possession at the top of the key who drives and dishes to Dante for the game winning dunk.

Great D all games minus the last few minutes. Glad we snuck away with a W.

Similar finishes for ducks in their last 3 appearances in Corvallis.

I haven't watched a ton of games this year but I could not understand the clock management with 10 minutes to go. The real problem was that even after we were letting the lead slip away we continued with the same offense. I have TONS of respect for DA but at some point we need to make sure that we have the right pieces in play. Are we hurting this much due to the loss of key assistant coaches? Could us possibly getting one back make a huge difference? I am NOT a coach or have any experience but the last few years there has been something off. I know we have had injuries seemingly constantly the last few years, but is that a training, weight, conditioning issue?

I don't call out coaches, and I am not now. I just want to know where the winning environment went.

Well we are also missing 4 starter quality players to injury.


But I do agree, with about 5 minutes left, we would hold the ball until about 8-10 seconds before running through our offense. It was really weird. This forced us into bad shots or turnovers, and OSU capitalized.

[ICamel]

I agree with questioning the late game strategy Dana has employed. What they were doing for the first 30 minutes of the game was working and resulted in a double digit lead. Why you go away from that to run the shot clock down to mere seconds to milk the game clock was not productive other than the final possession. Offensive rebounds on the last sequence pulled out the win.

[OregonFan4Life]

Even during the Final Four season the team would start milking the clock way too early, to me it’s just a bad tendency of Dana Altman. Somehow they rarely actually lose those games though, Oregon still ends up finding a way to win, but it does cause quite a bit of anxiety.
