    This is why college hoops annoys the shit out of me. Dumb mistakes. Why the hell would you wait to attack until 5 seconds?

    They have no offense….. it’s just iso ball. Too bad they don’t have Dame.

    The Ducks entire offense is just one dude. No plays. No passing. No movement. Just one man and a basketball.

    Tough to lose like that. One free throw from winning in regulation.

    Ducks just finally ran out of gas....they've been living off fumes for most of the season with all the injuries, and losing Shelstead was huge

    In a lot of ways, it was a fitting end to the season.

    Great effort with such a short bench and such limited contributions from most of those who played.

    Dante is a warrior.

    Losing Shelsted really hurt. He is their best free throw shooter and was really needed when they led near the end of regulation. Couldn't see it, but I imagine Creighton double teamed Cousinard and left Dante open.

    the Athletic asked 95 women's basketball players (85 of whom were on Sweet-16 teams) which coaches they'd want to play for and which coaches they wouldn't. On the wouldn't want to play for list, no surprise that Kim Mulkey 'won', in a landslide. And, I don't think it was much of a surprise who finished 2nd:

    pretty clearly, those players who have transferred from Oregon in the last 2-3 years have been talking to other players

    and, as far as I'm concerned, more proof that Kelly Graves is a disaster who needs to be fired ASAP:

    Grace Van Slooten
    Chance Gray
    Kennedy Basham

    have all announced they are entering the transfer portal. That's the top-2 scorers; the top 2 assist-makers; and the 2nd & 3rd best rebounders. Basically, 3 starters leaving

    Ducks also lost jr. guard Priscilla Williams to the portal

    *********************************************

    Since Sabrina, Satou and Ruthy left:

    5 star Sedona Prince(transferred)
    5 star Taylor Mikesell(transferred)
    5 star TeHina PaoPao(transferred)
    5 star Endyia Rodgers(transferred)
    5 star Sydney Parrish(transferred)
    5 star Kylie Watson(transferred)
    5 star Angela Dugalic(transferred)
    5 star Maddie Scherr(transferred)
    5 star Chance Gray(transferred)
    5 star Grace Van Slooten(transferred)

    and that doesn't include Jaz Shelley who transferred and led Nebraska

    ********************************************************

    it's beyond me why the AD is allowing this to continue

    Some successful coaches on that list. The next two on the list were Geno and Schaefer.
