Who: Oregon Ducks (6-9, 0-3 Conference) vs Arizona St. Sun Devils (13-2, 2-1 Conference)
Time: 11:00am PST
Location: Wells Fargo Arena, Tempe Arizona
Media: Fox Sports Northwest

Boy does Arizona State look good this year. This is a matchup of the top field-goal shooting team versus the bottom field-goal shooting team in the Pac-10. Oregon needs a win. Starting 0-4 in the Pac-10 is brutal and things don't get any easier after this. Here's the preview from ESPN.

Why a picture of Drew Viney?

Is a mancrush on LeGarrette Blount considered beastiality?

even though it is a picture of Drew Viney, we need jazz hands and crazy eyes more than ever if we are going to pull this one out

Maybe this could be our new thing

Pictures of Drew Viney, Ben Voogd, Anthony Lever-Norwood, etc., as long as they have jazz hands and crazy eyes.

Kent recruits a good jazz hand or crazy eye, but can he develop and coach them??

Pendegraph has a sprained MCL per Jerry Allen. Might not be as big a factor as we thought coming in

I’m not watching the game on TV but it sounds like we are really getting after it but playing “safe” in parts, not getting in foul trouble. Good coaching by Ernie taking Dunigan out after the confrontation with Pendegraph and after picking up his first foul. Get him to calm down a bit, try to have him in other parts of the game

3-for-8 shooting from Oregon so far, not great but the rebounds are helping us. Arizona State is not shooting very well so far but we can’t count on it staying that way

I'm not really sure what to make of Matt Humphrey.

Is he a perimeter guy or a driver? Or could he be kind of like a Senior year Bryce Taylor? I don’t know, I just want to know what his M.O. is.

Scoring 23 points in the first half is not good.

Well... it is early, these guys are all Freshmen...

But I think this is similar to how we felt in the near middle of the football season. Though we thought one facet of us would have a tough time, (Freshmen basketball, Offense football), we didn’t expect the other side of us to fail as well or more, (Veterans basketball, Defense football.)

Despite our poor shooting… Seems our offensive game is starting to come along a little better than our defense. Ball movement is good and the effort is there. On D the young Ducks look a little lost.
