It is great to be back in the elite 8! This is going to be one tough game though. I think our talent runs deeper, but Buddy is one hell of a player. I sure hope the defense is up for this.
Hields will go off no matter what. But you've got to get Benjamin and Cook in the game (esp. on defense) or we are stuffed. Also have to hit our free throws. But it's a very winnable game. Go Ducks!
The defense is going to be crucial. We've been super active on D so far in the tourney and need to keep it up. As long as we hit swish3s, I think we got it.
I've never advocated the Blazers try to target a Duck, but I'd sure love to see Brooks added. Not saying he's as good, but he reminds me a bit of Roy in his size, competitiveness & all around game. STOMP
I've watched literally one NCAA tournament game. I know the games can have exciting finishes but most of the time they don't, and I just don't care about any college teams nor do I know any of the players, since I certainly don't watch the regular season games. The Ducks being in it doesn't change anything for me either because I don't like the Ducks.
I wonder how Hield will play in the pros. He moves well without the ball, deadly from deep. Maybe he can be a shorter Glen Rice.
Really proud of the gumption our guys are showing. This team is obviously on another level with Hield. I love the hustle this team shows.
