<div class="quote_poster">44Thrilla Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Popular final four choice Oregon is down 9-0 early.</div> I'm not surprised, the Ducks are streaky on offense, but they go on at least two solid runs per game. Miami (OH) is going to panic when Oregon starts lighting it up from the perimeter. Oregon's three guard lineup has too, much speed for Miami (OH) to deal with.
I didn't see the game, but apparently Oregon edged Miami 58-56. Not good, but a win nonetheless for Oregon. Oregon is going to live or die by their guards. If their guards consistiently carry the load, I don't see a lot of teams stopping Oregon.
Bryce Taylor is one of the great conundrums in college ball. He goes, what, 12 of 12 from the field against Southern Cal in the Pac 10 final, but today he barely cracks double figures. Even more frustrating is Malik Hairston. I kept waiting for TaJuan Porter to hit the big shots I've seen him hit all year, but he looked like, well, a freshman. I think this game was the abberation - teh Ducks are going to do some serious damage in the MidWest bracket.
