Here we go.

This should be fun. What do you think? 15, 20, 30 point loss?

Is this game on tv?

yes according to goducks.com it will be on FSN

Liking the effort on the defensive end, particularly from Dunigan. However, Porter is killing us on the offensive end yet again

That was one of the worst halves I have ever seen Porter play. Not only with the stupid turnovers, but his shots weren't even close. We started the half well, but then collapsed as usual.

I'm so shocked to see us losing by double-digits, I never would have guessed this would happen...

Seriously Ernie just quit, do us all a favor and save yourself some pride and dignity just get the hell out of town.

Another 2nd half collapse..shocking.

There are 2 positives going into next year:
Ernie Kent and Tajuan Porter won't be here

At least 1 is guaranteed.

There are no excuses for this team. They are healthy and have talent, but for some reason cannot compete in a bad league. The coaches and players have to take ownership for this. Something needs to change in the off season because there is no valid reason why the UofO can't have a consistently good men's basketball program.

This team has NO heart!!!

Personaly I just want to see them COMPETE!

I don't realy care how many top notch players Ernie can bring to the program, they look like a high school team to me. I'll bet each and every one of these kids were real good players till Ernie got his hands on them.

For the first time in as many years as I can remember, I think our offense is worse than our defense. We have nobody that can consistently hit shots.

I think that is the biggest problem. They have open shots but just don't hit them. There's just no dead-eye shooter that you can count. Porter hasn't been on all season. Armstead is very streaky of a shooter and doesn't really take many 3s. Humphrey has been hitting lately but is also very streaky and doesn't get very many minutes. Singler, Longmire, and Williams can hit mid-range jumpers but they hardly look for their shots. I can't remember the last time Sim hit a 3 when it mattered (only in junk time does he hit one). It also doesn't help that the people who handle the ball the most (Porter, Armstead, and Dunigan) can't hang on to the ball or make a simple pass.

I agree, we can usually survive with poor defense, but our offense is atrocious right now. Kent lives and dies by the three. The last two years, he's showed that he really isn't a good coach. I think great players in two different season made him look like a lot better coach than he really is.
