PrintWashington State Cougars (13-11, 5-7) at Oregon Ducks (17-7, 8-4)
3:00 PT :: Matthew Knight Arena
TV :: Good Luck
Pomeroy Ratings :: WSU (118) :: Oregon (88)
Pomeroy Prediction :: Oregon 75-69
I will be watching this game on Ozone and providing updates throughout the game in this thread.
Oregon returns to the court for its first game since a very successful Happy I Hate Washington Day. In theory, this is the second easiest game left on the schedule, making it a must win if the Ducks are to get to that 20-win mark. That said, the Cougars are coming off a big win in Corvallis, and has beaten both Bay Area schools this season. This game also has massive let down potential for the Ducks after the big win over Washington, so its certainly not a gimme.
Oregon won't shoot the lights out like they did the first game against the Cougars, so defense will be a big key, and that starts with slowing Brock Motum down low. Motum is a no-brainer first team all conference player, averaging 17.5 points and 7 boards a game, but what is impressive is how he can score. Motum can score some extremely physical points down low, but he can also head out and hit the three, where he shoots 41%. An overall 57% shooter, he can pass well out of the double team (2 assists per game), and hits at a 77% clip from the free throw line. Motum is one of the most improved players in the nation this season, and I'd be pretty surprised if he's not on a pro roster next season.
Faisal Aden was the other guy who could really hurt you, but he's out for the year with a torn ACL. Point guard Reggie Moore has had a disappointing season, and has looked really bad at times. Marcus Capers has looked worse. Both have been especially poor on the defensive end. DaVonte Lacy has had his moments (see the first game against UO, where he went bonkers from three), but has been inconsistent as you would expect from a freshman.
Mainly due to Motum's stellar play, WSU ranks 59th in the country in offensive efficiency, because they shoot the ball well and get to the line. However, the guard play has been pretty poor, and they turn the ball over a lot. They also give up a lot of offensive rebounds, which was evident in the first game between these two teams. They are also very poor defensively, and give up a lot of open shots, especially beyond the three point arc.
Oregon doesn't need to go crazy like they did the first time these teams met to win this game. They merely need to shoot decently, crash the offensive boards, and make somebody besides Motum beat them. If they come into this game with full focus, they should be in great shape.

Didn't he already switch back to DB?

ok i was jw
i mean we got a lot of young wr’s and i think with some of the dudes we got dior may not be needed for a vertical threat
I don't know if this is the case with Mathis
But aren’t “receivers” with bad hands generally moved to the defensive side of the ball?

I just love watching them when they are on nationally.

It looks like it was a good game
According to the box, they shot well from the field, were out rebounded but played well.
Is the box accurate?

Pac-12 teams with 20 overall wins...
If I recall there was a stat about no Pac-12 team ever having 20 wins or more and NOT getting into the tournament. Do I recall correctly?
That's generally the magic number, but I'm not sure about that stat.
With how bad the Pac 12 is though, I’d imagine that number is going up this year.

Just found this
Since the NCAA tournament expanded to 64 teams for the 1984-85 season 95 Pac-10 teams have reached the 20-win mark in regular season and conference tournament play. Of those teams only two have failed to make the NCAA tournament field: Stanford (20-11, 11-7) in 1988 and Arizona State (22-10, 12-6) last season.
During that same period 23 Pac-10 teams without 20 victories in regular season and conference tournament play have made the NCAA tournament including 1997 national champion Arizona, which received an NCAA invite with a 19-9 regular season mark.

Given this... I'm calling it...
21 regular season wins and a semi-finals appearance in the conference tournament gets us to the dance. 20 regular season wins will not cut it given conference perception unless we make it to the conference tournament finals and it goes down to the wire.
I think 22 wins (particularly if one of those wins is CAL) gets us to the dance regardless of how we do in the conference tournament absent a complete flop.

This is pretty much exactly what I was thinking.
Except I think probably 22 plus a semi finals appearance or 21 plus a finals appearance. Hard to really know though with the national perception and all. Might not get in without a tournament win.

I also think that it's very relative to what everyone else does though, as well.
Talking about Cal, UW, Colorado, AZ
"Shut your haggis traps" | John Spencer
So.... 5 games left
3 on the road including Cal and furd. Two at home including Colorado. 3 -2 is possible, in fact less would be disappointing. 4-1 is very tough but could be done.
Give FD some air, he's been so good to us!

Nope
I am not a mod and I can only speak for myself. I find your “*uck” (and now “D*ck”) comments trollish. I generally find you cordial and your comments spirited, but this really pisses me off. We do have a little fun with your mascot, alma mater, etc., but this is an Oregon blog. I’d imagine that’s something that would garner a warning on TDP, BN and most other P12 SBN blogs. I’m not suggesting you receive a warning, either. I’m fine with lower-case, substituting letters is too far.

I like 'Johnson' more better. Ever seen those 'Johnson' fishing rod ads? T shirt deco mostly, maybe you could post one?

The opening pic reminds me of this
I keep seeing it and thinking the reaction guys.
Hey Ducks! You just beat down the Huskies like they were the football team!
But you’re still going to have to win the Pac-12 tourney to get into the NCAAs.
If I could kiss Nick Holt, I would. Though, with him, I’m sure it would end in deep penetration and a score
You seem to relate to this quite well. Practice?
