Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death


random basketball first game musings

No comcast, so I couldn't see this one.  But this seems to have kinda sucked, judging by the radio broadcast.

Don't get me wrong.  I have Oregon pegged for 9th in the conference, ahead of only OSU.  We've got a lot of growing to do.  But Northern Colorado?  Really?  Winning by a couple missed free throws?  I hope NC turns out to be a much better team than I think they should be.

I have great hope for the future, but we can't seem to stop peneration, according to Jerry Allen. Maybe that's an easy fix with some scheming and teaching.

Looks Sounds like LeKendric Longmire had a great game overall.  I had really been hoping that he would be this player last year.  It sounds almost like he's playing the "Jordan Kent Memorial Hustle Player" role, only with scoring.

Still, the fact that (I think-- can't tell from the horrible stats on the internet) we were outrebounded by the Northern Colorado Bears does not bode well.  Maarty and Malik were great rebounders, despite their size, and we're definitely missing them now. 

TP had a terrible game.  I'm glad that won't happen every game.  As frustrating as he can be at times, we need him to play better than this.  He's a junior now.  Ernie loves the guy, and it's time for him to show us why he deserves to carry this team.

Most of all, I can't wait to see a game.  Comcast sucks, and so does IMG for entering into such a crappy media contract.  Who's running the tv negotiations for the ducks, Tom Hansen?  I WANT TO SEE SOME DUCKS BASKETBALL.  And it's not Dish Network's fault, or Charter's, or DirecTV.  It was a bad idea to begin with. 

I would just like to add that the postgame report on 95.5 just got preempted by the "Ducks Gridiron Report."  Now, I love football too, I'm headed for the Arizona game tomorrow, and that's all well and good.  But I WANTED TO HEAR THE BASKETBALL POSTGAME instead of people talking about what might happen tomorrow.  What is up with media coverage these days?

To sum the game up in one word...

Awful.

I never in my life imagined the Ducks could play that badly…and they’re still marginally better than the Beavs. (There’s my one potshot for the post.)

This game made it overly apparent that Ernie does not coach the little things that help teams win…such as playing until the clock says zero.

Ernie has some issues.

1. Free throws: how many games have we lost in the last 5 years because of free throws. Make your free throws. The only person’s fault this could be is Ernie.

2. Three run and gun point guards may not belong on the court together when you have a lead, and you just need to contain for 5 minutes.

3. An eight man rotation is not effective at the beginning of the season. How does he know he’s only needs eight guys for the game? The team is too untested for him to already know who is guys are.

I heart taxes.

I would like to see

actually offensive sets and plays. You can get away with the one on one game in the NBA because the they have the best players. You can not do that with the Ducks. Please Ernie, build an offense by Mon

Ducks Go!
