MBB Game 21 Preview and Open Thread: Oregon State Beavers at Oregon Ducks

Oregon State Beavers (13-7, 3-5) at Oregon Ducks (15-5, 6-2)
3:30 PT, Matthew Knight Arena
TV: FSN/ROOT (national)
Pomeroy Rankings: Oregon State (68), Oregon (102)
Pomeroy Prediction: Oregon 78-77
The Oregon Ducks should not be the first place team in the Pac-12.
The advanced stats tell the story. They rank in the second half of the conference in both offensive and defensive efficiency. They've faced the second toughest in-conference SOS to date. Pomeroy's rankings have them ranked #102 in the nation, which is good for eighth in the conference, in front of only USC, Utah, ASU, and Washington State. And during Oregon's four game win streak, they've actually gone down in those rankings. If you listened to this week's podcast, Matt Daddy expressed his concern that Oregon was winning ugly, and has major question marks as to whether Oregon can sustain this level for the long haul. I guarantee you that every statistician would agree that the Ducks are due for some regression to the mean.
Indeed, that is what you would expect. In baseball, the sport where advanced statistical analysis is most developed, teams that outperform their Pythogorean W/L formula pretty much to a tee regress the next season (something that as a Mariners fan I know all too well). But there are teams that, for whatever reason, outperform projections for an entire season. Whether there is something quantifiable that makes up being "clutch," or if its just a statistical fluke, it does happen. Further, basketball is different than baseball. This team has gotten better since earlier in the season. It plays defense consistently enough not to get blown out. And the guys who are taking most of the shots at the end of close games (EG, Garrett, Devoe), hit from both the field and the line at very good rates. This isn't a tough conference at all this season, and Oregon has gone on this streak playing less than stellar basketball. What happens when they start putting together full games?
In short, I have no idea whether this is sustainable. There are very good reasons to believe that it is or isn't. Me? I'm just going to enjoy the fact that we have winning basketball in Eugene again, and see where that takes us. When you can remember going 2-16 in the conference, its pretty tough to complain about first place, regardless of how we've gotten there.
A lot is on the line tonight as the Beavers roll into Matthew Knight Arena. Bragging rights over little brother are always important. But moreso is keeping Oregon's place at the top of the conference. Colorado lost to UCLA yesterday, dropping them a game back. Oregon and Cal both play their rivalry games at home tonight. With a win, the Ducks end the first half of the season in a tie for first, with a realisitc shot at having the spot outright with a Cal loss to Stanford.
Oregon State is a scary matchup that presents a lot of matchup problems for the Ducks. Oregon has had trouble with athletic guards, whether that be DaVonte Lacy, Nic Wise, Maurice Jones, Lazeric Jones, Jorge Gutierrez, or Tony Wroten. Right now, Jared Cunningham is better than all of those guys, is leading the conference in scoring at nearly 18 a game, and can get shots from anywhere. He is a matchup nightmare for Oregon, and you can't just concentrate on him because Roberto Nelson can go off almost as easily, and Ahmad Starks never met a three pointer he didn't like (and makes a good chunk of them). All three of those guys are averaging well into the double digits, shoot well enough to pull you out of a zone, and can torch you if left one-on-one in a man. Oh, and if you can stop them, they have three inside guys, Angus Brandt, Devon Collier, and Joe Burton who all go for 9.5 points plus per game as well. This is the best offensive team in the conference--Pomeroy has them in the 25 top offenses in the nation--and they are going to score a ton of points.
The flip side is that Oregon State's defense has been less than stellar, ranking ninth in the conference. That said, Oregon is only one place above that and OSU's defense is not as bad as its made out to be. They force a ton of turnovers and don't commit a lot of fouls, but teams tend to shoot really well against them. If you can avoid turnovers in the 1-3-1, you can get a lot of open looks, and open looks usually mean good things for the Ducks. But if Oregon plays like they have for halves against UCLA or Arizona, Oregon State will blow them out. In fact, given some of their losses (OT to Arizona, 4OT to Stanford), and their statistical profile, one could say that OSU has been as unlucky as Oregon has lucky, and that they are due for some regression to the mean of their own. Of course, they've also looked uncompetitive in losses to Arizona State, Washington State, and Idaho this season, so who knows?
FOUR FACTORS PREVIEW:
eFG%: Oregon State has an eFG% of 54.1, good for 24th in the nation. They hit often, and from everywhere on the floor. Oregon ranks 93rd, and has been tumbling in these rankings. Of course, teams shoot merely okay aganst Oregon, while they shoot phenomenally against the Beavers, who rank 334th, nearly the worst in the entire nation, at giving up the three. Oregon State is the better offensive team, but Oregon will get better shots, so I'll call this a wash.
Turnover %: Oregon State forces the 7th most turnovers of any team in the country, and turn it over offensively a lot less than Oregon does. Oregon turns the ball over a lot, and doesn't really force any. This is what I'm keeping an eye on early, hoping that the Ducks don't find a way to turn the game over. Advantage: Oregon State.
Offensive Rebounding %: Both teams are susceptible to giving up offensive rebounds, but the Beavers get them 3% more of the time than the Ducks to. Advantage: Oregon State.
FTA/FGA: Oregon has been great at this all year, ranking 43rd in the country at getting to the line, amazing for a perimeter oriented team. Oregon State is even more amazing, ranking 19th. Of course, the Ducks don't foul, ranking 22nd at not giving up free throws. The Beavers rank nearly 200th. Oregon should get to the line more than OSU (and they are also better at making them). Advantage: Oregon.
So Oregon is at the statistical disadvantage, but its been that way in almost every game this year, so....
KEYS TO THE GAME:
Turnovers--This is what I'm looking at early. OSU will force a lot of turnovers, especially Cunningham being the top guy in the 1-3-1. The Ducks have been prone to some sloppy passing up top at times this season. If that happens against the Beavers, watch out. Oregon has to take care of the ball.
Shoot 45%--Oregon shot 23% for the first half against UCLA. The Ducks were only in position to make a run because UCLA went 1-8 from the line in that half. That won't happen with OSU. Oregon has to shoot well the entire game because the Beavers are so good offensively.
You can't drive on 55--The Beavers present many matchup problems defensively. They can shoot you out of a zone, but they are also more athletic than Oregon and especially Cunningham will get to the rim against a man no matter who the Ducks throw at him defenisvely. Tony Woods needs to do what he did when the Ducks made their run against UCLA and be the eraser.
The Beaver offense is tough, but their defense will give up open shots, and with their consistency issues, you never know what OSU you are going to get. But they'll be focused for this one, and this would be a great time for the Ducks to finally put that complete game together.
GO DUCKS!

"Pomeroy's rankings have them ranked #102 in the nation"
I’m sorry but that is complete bull shit. I can promise you that there isn’t 101 teams better than the oregon ducks. (unless we’re counting the 30 nba teams as well i suppose). This isn’t a great basketball team…..and the pac 12 is definitely a weak conference this year…..but oregon is a solid team with good athletes. I dont think there success has been a fluke in the pac and i absolutely think that Oregon can sustain this level for the long haul no question. go ducks
sorry for my passionate rant. :D
Reasons for the bad ranking, unfair or not
Our losses have all been blowouts. We haven’t lost a single close game thus far. You can think of us as the baseball team that goes 21-0 in one-run and extra inning games. So Pomeroy’s rankings have us as a “lucky” team thus far, fair or not. If we keep winning and beating good teams, odds are we will rise eventually. But you have to admit, we have one of the weirdest profiles for a winning team in some time.
Prince: This bores me. Is anyone up for a game of basketball?
So isn't Armstead's decision in an hour?
Are we talking about that in here, or what?

Here:
I didn’t want to belabor it too much but Oregon would’ve been insane not to take a punter this year or at least try. By the end of next year they’d have been left with exactly one kicker in Alejandro Maldonado, and one punter, the very same Alejandro Maldonado. And what would they do if he went down? Well, Jakes Rodriguez punted for his high school team, and then…well. Walk-ons? For a program trying to contend? Not going to happen.

Ahhhhhhhh yes.
If he comes, so does Shaq, I’m guessing. Thanks in part to our guy LaMichael James. Also, keep in mind John Neal has experience developing NFL level talent. Definitely something Shaq will be interested in hearing:
Oregon secondary coach John Neal has made a habit out of turning low-star recruits into NFL-caliber defensive backs.
There was Jairus Byrd (two stars) and Patrick Chung (two stars) and Walter Thurmond (three stars) – the kind of players that coaches love to point to, scoffing at the star system of Rivals.com and other recruiting sites
Imagine what he could do with someone of Thompson’s skill level as a freshman?

A loose summary
Visit went well. Family met with CK, Helfy and Frost. They talked to him about his role on the team. Stressed that they played eight true freshmen last season. They’re impressed with his size. Asked CK about Tampa Bay, he said he turned it down, said he plans on staying at Oregon.
Pretty positive overall.

And he’s a good kid, a hard worker, and is enrolling early. I would be really surprised if he doesn’t play and play well next year. Remember that we’ve had some significant freshman impacts from guys that weren’t nearly as highly touted.
Also, we play a lot of D-lineman. Remember that Heimuli played every game his freshman year.
Prince: This bores me. Is anyone up for a game of basketball?
I totally understand your argument
And hope that you’re right, let’s just hope he puts in that work and displays his talent.

First, I don’t think you’re flaming, I just think you’re misrepresenting what’s being rumored. I would say it’s not even being reported that they “picked different schools.” It’s being reported that they are no longer 100% to go to the same school.
What I take that to mean is that Shaq is going to do what is best for him, and Arik will do what’s best for him. That could be the same school, it could not. By representing the tweet as you did, you displayed your wishful thinking.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
It has nothing to do with "reported" vs "confirmed"
People are pointing out that you are misinterpreting what Biggins means.
Nobody is reporting/confirming/speculating that they are picking different schools, but that it is not a lock that they pick the same school. See the difference there?
You're right
maybe I should say speculated? Like I said, I’m not saying where he is going. He could very well commit to Oregon. Also, Biggins isn’t the only one who said something like that. Anything being said until the papers are signed is speculation, I understand that.

That is why I’m saying there is speculation. Never said I that meant he isn’t going to Oregon or that I that I think he’s not. Maybe I should have said “may” have picked different schools. No disrespect guys. No reason to be up in arms over it.

My best friends brother has been a lock from 3 on his high school team
up until 2 games ago. He kept hitting the back of the rim and went something like 2-20. So with 2 minutes to go in his last game he took a shot from about 5 feet behind the 3 point line and hit the bottom of the net. Hit 3 more from that spot before the game was over. It was a pretty good adjustment that he made. Not sure what that has to do with this but it felt like a good place to tell the story.

Robinson is not a solid coach. Let’s not blow this loss our of proportion. Oregon’s been playing mediocre for some time, we’ve just had a run of teams playing their worst games.
