PrintIn honor of our conquerors of college basketball to the south, we are going to run the recap a little different. So leave your answers in the comments (Obviously once you're done talking about the latest Oregon football run in with the law).
1. Oregon's offense was _________.
2. Cal's defense was ___________.
3. The officiating __________.
4. Ernie Kent should have ______________.
5. The best thing about this game was ______________.
6. The worst thing about this game was ____________.
Oregon kept the game close in the first half, but as everyone knew it wasn't a matter of because Oregon was playing so well, it was more a matter of Cal was playing like garbage and Oregon refused to capitalize on any of it.
The second half wasn't the same, except it was the same as most Oregon Pac 10 games this year. Oregon ran into a lull and was not able to score and the opponent went on a 8, 10 or 15 point run opening up a lead that the Ducks were not able to overcome.
This team is not good enough to have those type of lulls or not take advantage of when an opponent is playing poorly, and today was not different.
Jacob lead the Ducks with 14 points while Randle and Robertson tied to lead all scorers with 16 a piece. Oregon shot a blistering 1-12 (8.3%) from the three point line and 34.1% overall from the field.
Conclusion:
We suck. Fear not, there are only 4 more games left in Ernie's... I mean... the Pac 10 season. The team is regressing offensively and defensively. I really don't see a light at the end of this tunnel.
Go Ducks. I guess.

Well, I see light at the end of the tunnel
The recent losses just make sure that Kent will be gone after the season is over. I’m not so sure that that’s such a bad thing anyway.

I want Steve Alford
That is the only thing that will make me happy about the basketball team right now.

i do find it interesting that most of the speculation on a new coach does not include Mike Dunlap as a replacement. Most comments I saw before the season was that he was the “insurance policy” in case Ernie was fired midseason.

I don’t see it. I think Dunlap was brought in to fix the missing pieces to Ernie, I don’t think he’s Pac 10 head coaching material. Plus I don’t think he’s PAc 10 head coaching material that will sell out new stadium.

Arizona thought well enough of him to offer him the interim head coaching gig to replace Lute Olson that he turned down. He ended up practically doing the job anyway with Russ Pennell getting the Wildcats a few rounds into the tournament last year.
There is nothing on his resume that says he can’t be a Pac-10 head coach – http://www.azcentral.com/sports/ua/articles/2008/10/23/20081023dunlapbio-CR.html

I want a clean sweep
I’m actually kind of anxious and curious to see what someone else can do with our guys. I just hope Bellotti pulls the trigger.
I actually think this is probably the best argument against Dunlap being candidate

Actually I like Dunlap. I just don’t think that it will sell tickets at a new arena or that he’ll have lasting power at the HC job. I want a young energetic guy who can rebuild the recruiting pipe especially since we are going to have a lot of guys grad in a couple years

People are making such a big deal about Alford and yes, he’s turned New Mexico around. But he failed at Iowa – he only managed to win one NCAA tourney game during his tenure there.
I still say I want Brad Stevens
I like Brad Stevens too. I would love to get him, although I’m pretty sure we’re going to be competing from some big schools in the midwest for his services (Big 10 and Big 12). I think Alford is more attainable and will definitely sell out Matt Court for 2 years.
My order:
Mark Few (Chances? Slim and none)
Brad Stevens (Chances? Slim)
Steve Alford (Chances? Decent)

Dominic now supports the Ernie Exit? Welcome aboard…finally. Anyway, I think the Dunlap hiring only served to confuse rather than improve the coach/team chemistry this year. Nobody’s fault really but an unintended consequence of installing a real X’s & O’s assistant with a cheerleader/recruiter HC.
I was pretty clear in my requirements for him to stay at the beginning of the season and I don’t think he’s going to meet them. Even if he did, I think the writing is on the wall. There is no sense fighting the ocean here when we all know what’s going to happen

We’re a bit past that. At this point, the wall has been carved away and whittled down so that it actually forms the letters “U-P-D-A-T-E-Y-O-U-R-R-E-S-U-M-E.”

Innocent until proven guilty.
1 – Trick question. Oregon doesn’t have an offense.
2 – Doesn’t matter. See question 1.
3 – Seriously? This is the Pac-10, your expectations may need adjusting.
4 – Recruited players actually capable of making a 15-foot shot.
5 – I didn’t attend, watch or listen to it.
6 – It wasn’t the last game of the season.

a great principle. The sooner you learn it, the better off you will be. Plus you will be the hit at all the parties.
