    Of course they came back then choked. SMH. Probably lost my bracket pool with that game. Ugh.

    I don't really like the Ducks showing off and rubbing it in the last minute or so they should be spending clock. Great way to step up after UCI went on that run to start the half though.

    This team is something else! So much hustle, so much tenacity, so many wins in a row!

    I'd take someone like Aubrey Dawkins on my team.

    Ducks playing decent ball and like their energy.
    All freshman and Sophmires except 1 junior and senior.
    I’d like to see them at least give UV a tough time.

    Wow I really didn't see it that way. Yes Wooten continued to block their shots, and King hit a 3 with 1:30 left, but Dana had the scrubs in after that and they did work the clock. They dribbled out the clock.

    I can appreciate that just not really how it came off to me. At least for a short part of it.
    I love how hard they were playing though.

    If they had been runnin' and gunnin', I'd agree. But they ran the clock down on almost every possession once they got a large lead. They were just finishing with high efficiency at the end of the clock with dunks or '3's.

    remember now:

    * Oregon, at home against UCLA, had a 19 point 2nd half lead; they led by 13 with 3:40 left; they lead by 9 with 1 minute left...and lost the game by three

    * at ASU, the Ducks had a 4 point lead with 8:37 left, but got outscored 28-10 the rest of the way and lost by 14

    * Oregon led Washington, at home, by 5 points with 2 minutes left, and lost the game by 5 points

    * at UCLA, they had an 18 point lead in the 1st half and a 16 point lead at halftime, then got outscored 62-39 in the 2nd half

    Altman said he needed to teach the Ducks to continue to play hard on both ends of the floor no matter the time, no matter the score. Mission accomplished

    I have 13 of the Sweet 16 correct. The Mrs. TPFKATHCP got 14 of 16. Not bad.

    They certainly didnt get the message the first 8 minutes or so of the 2nd half.

    Gotcha beat son. 15 for 16. Ironically the only team I didn't have is the Ducks, so it's bitter sweet.

    Not in any pool. My bracket will probably take a hit tonight, could not for the life of me say loathsome Baylor will beat my Cal Bears but they probably will. Sigh.

    UConn in 26th consecutive Sweet Sixteen. Would Geno Auriemma like Blazers job?

    Cal at 6, Blazers at 7, Stanford at 8 makes for some serious channel flipping tonight. Hopefully Blazers blow out by 50.

    If you had to choose between working with the top-tier of female student-athletes, or a mismatched hodgepodge of male multi-millionaires (Dame notwithstanding), would it be a tough choice?
