GAME PREVIEW

at UCLA, Saturday, March 7

at Pac-10 tournament, Los Angeles, Wednesday, March 11

IN FOCUS
The Ducks were competitive with the Bruins in a Jan. 4 meeting in Eugene, falling 83-74. Tajuan Porter scored a game-high 24 points, helping Oregon stay close most of the way.

ROSTER REPORT

--G Tajuan Porter continues to show his maturity down the stretch. Despite missing the previous two practices after he suffered an eye injury, and up against a USC defense concentrating on limiting his open looks at 3-point attempts, the 5-6 junior led the Ducks with 20 points on 7-of-14 shooting from the field, including 4 of 10 3's. He's been picking his spots much better, and Oregon's improved play is a direct result of him not forcing shots. He keeps his game under control, and the younger Ducks follow the lead.

--F Josh Crittle seems to thrive when fellow UO post player Michael Dunigan struggles. Up against a USC veteran Taj Gipson, who had 18 points, seven rebounds and four blocked shots, Dunigan struggled. Enter Crittle, who doesn't mind a physical game and showed it with 10 points and eight rebounds. He even hit 6 of 9 free throws as that part of his game continued to improve. He's a more physical player than Dunigan, and it shows against an opponent who plays that way.

--G Matt Humphrey, after two big games against Stanford and Oregon State, thudded back to reality against USC, hitting only 1-of-5 shots from the field and missing his three 3-point attempts. USC saw that Humphrey had made a difference in Oregon winning two games and put more defensive emphasis on the UO freshman. When that happens, Humphrey needs to learn to find other ways to help offensively, whether it's driving to the basket or setting up other teammates.

ive been a fan of oregon basketball for the past few years and was disappointed to see all the anger that has surrounded the oregon basketball program for the past few years from the oregon "fans". Looking at this fan page alone, there are more posts about lost hope in this program than faithful optimism. Now, my Oregon Ducks are undefeated in the Pac 10 conference and have beaten the ...(more)

With an important trip to the Bay Area coming up for the Ducks this week, just asking the question, what needs to change for them to start winning again. There's been enough about Kent's future and stuff, but now is when a coach is needed. I think the Ducks need to go down into the post more, and let Dunigan get a few more touches. This would take the ball out of Porter's hands a bit more and allo ...(more)

Just finished watching the Arizona game and was once again very disappointed with the Ducks effort. Something needs to change or this season is going to quickly spiral to the low low levels that it reached last year. There just seems to be a large lack of effort from many players, and questionable decisions to go along with that. Porter is a great player, I love the guy and what he's done for Oreg ...(more)

There are several "Vote-Offs" going on over on the NCAA Basketball Message Board. We want to make sure everyone who wants to , has a change to join in the fun.

If you aren't familiar with the game here are the rules:

1. Each team starts with 10 votes.
2. Every person gets to vote once per day and a vote is 1 (+) for one team and 1 (-) for another team. ...(more)

The necessity of firing Ernie Kent as coach of the Oregon Basketball program has been obvious for far too long.  We just lost to Portland and Montana!  These aren't terrible teams but they certainly aren't teams that Oregon should be losing to.  At this point you almost have to say that Portland has the best basketball program in the state and Oregon could be third.  Kent's def ...(more)

this is so idiotic, the Pac-10 has a worse tv contract than the WCC, I thought the new commish was going to step in and do something about it, he made the football schedule better so at least 3 of the 5 Pac-10 games got on Saturday, allowing 1 out of 5 is idiotic, I know you guys all love the Ducks and will root for them no matter what but if we can get noone from WSU, UW, Oregon and Oregon State ...(more)

Hello Everybody. Im not here to talk trash or anything like that. But I've been curious, Why is your guys basketball arena called "The Pit"? and how long has it been called that??  I'm a die hard New Mexico Lobo fan, and that's the same nickname we use for our arena.  We use it because thats the way the arena is built. It was buit in a hole 37 ft below ground and ...(more)

Who knew?? This team actually looks pretty good right now, Kent looks like he may just wiggle out of the hotseat once again. But still good win at Washington it's hard to win at Seattle. Go Ducks

Well, it has become clear to me that U of O Athletics has no idea what they're doing as it relates to Ernie Kent.

Do they not watch the games where we consistently get outcoached, especially in the second half when adjustments to strategy and personnel are supposed to be made?

For all the hype about the blue chippers Kent has supposedly recruited, he has only produced one and a ...(more)

It's very early to talk about Oregon hoops but I am curious to who you think steps up and makes a bigger impact than last season. We are going to need someone to rise this season if we are to have any hopes of a successful season. I will start I believe Matt Humphrey will be the guy to step up. He has the skillset and body to be a very good college player and I think with confidence he will be ...(more)
