    ducks up by 10 at half! I think they were a little rusty and made some defensive mistakes they don't usually make. I think Altman might eliminate the trap after made baskets; Iowa has it figured out and eliminating it should cut down on fouls. If Ducks can keep fouls down, Altman will shorten the rotation; don't expect to see much of Lawson or Amari.

    Ducks looking solid. When was the last time the Ducks and Beavs have been in the Sweet 16 together?

    Altman could be the best coach in college ball!

    Ducks humiliate Iowa. I don't think even Ducks thought it would be this easy. Should have been nine teams from the Pac-12 in the tournament, not nine from the Big Ten.

    Going to keep this simple -- Go Ducks --- to Olshey Plz-- Buy a 1st round pick OR trade up for an early 2nd to take Garza he would be a solid replacement for Kanter

    Garza might be the only guy in the draft slower of foot than Kanter... but he's got a nice touch

    I assume his draft stock is pretty low.

    I think Garza's NBA stock is mid 2nd round pick but could see a GM betting on him and taking him in the late 1st too

    What's special about Oregon is that they have five starters who can all hit threes and all five can switch on defense.

    His defense wasn't great for a guy his size.

    What's not special is their bench. Lawson doesn't think fast enough and not great hands. Amari just doesn't do much. Kepnang so raw.

    Portland would be much better off going after Chris Duarte

    Why do I have that same feeling when Bret Musberger and CBS switch to the golf tourney after we won the Blazers won it all.
    Typical CBS
