I agree with Prehm's forecast, and it's reachable. Last weekend showed that winning at Utah wasn't a gimmee, as UCLA lost to ASU, in 3 OT. The Bruins had multiple chances to win this one, including having the ball with :20 in the second OT, but couldn't get a good shot.

Riley is the big splash USC needed, and he got Williams to follow him. It looks good now, but the floor and ceiling are very close. USC fans want a championship in 2022.

Justin got his first start by accident, and since then has set record after record. When the Chargers get a defense, not only will he be the best quarterback in the NFL, the Chargers will be winning championships.

The most disappointing game of the season so far was the one just completed, not the worst, that's still the Men's game against BYU. But the Women were coming off the loss to Arizona, and still came out flat. More than any other thing, Oregon was outhustled by ASU. How could ASU have"wanted" that game more?

Right now it seems like "Open Mic Night" for Pac-12 Network announcers.

Give me Oregon offense 2007 before Dixon went down. It was unstoppable.

Oregon gives up the rebound on the missed free throw and foul in the process, nails it for ASU.

The words, "Oregon is staying close" to ASU, should never have to be said.

Good call on this.

Absolutely. Mike Moser, from Portland, eventually got to Oregon, after, UCLA and UNLV, and is now on Graves's staff.

On one possession, ASU got 3 offensive rebounds, the next time, 4, then 2, only once did they actually score, but Graves finally called a time out, a few minutes into the 2nd quarter. 8 of ASU's 9 points, are second chance.

A great pass from Paopao inside to Prince for the last two points of the quarter was the highlight of the game so far

From Portland? This could be huge! Way back, Richard Washington, from Benson High went to UCLA, Danny Ainge from North Eugene, went to BYU. EJ Singler from Medford did come to Oregon, but his big brother, Kyle, went to Duke. Fred Jones, was born in Arkansas, but moved to Oregon and did attend hifg school in Oregon, and of course, Luke Jackson. So, some Oregon high schoolers have come to Oregon, but let's start getting more of them!

There were signs of Offensive Coordinator Disorder

Was Mastro ever The OC?

Sabally just needs to keep doing what she's doing, the rest of the team definitely needs to bounce back from their tepid performance at Arizona.

Absolutely, while the Pac-12 has been as active as clay, the SEC has gotten where it is by an organized, driven effort to get there. "It means more" isn't just a slogan. The Presidents of the SEC schools all want to see their teams in the top 25.

Was Leavitt the only Coordinator to stay at Oregon for more than a season?

When he's right, he's right, If Oregon's "small" team is hitting their shots, the Ducks can beat anybody. If the shots stop falling, like what happened against Colorado in the second half at home, they'll lose. As imposing a presence as Kepnang is, he isn't a great defensive presence, he can block shots, but usually on fast breaks, and often with a foul. Dante leads the team in field goal %, but is near the bottom on attempts, because it's still not a good plan to feed him the ball inside so he can work for a basket. Last night was good and bad for Oregon. The Ducks and Bruins are now in a tie for second place at 8-3, with Oregon holding the tie-breaker for now. Washington, who was destroyed by Oregon, and WSU, who beat Oregon, are in third place, at 7-3. So, now the Ducks are in 2nd place, but the win over UCLA has lost some of its luster. Oregon is home for games against Cal and Stanford, who beat Oregon, then a make-up game at home against WSU. After that it's on the road, first at ASU, then a game at Arizona, followed by home games against UCLA and USC, then the conference season wraps up on the road at Washington and WSU.

Fortunately, the best free throw shooting team in the conference was off, and the next to worst was hot. Utah, 15-23 65,2%, Oregon, 9-10, 90.0%

Two free throw attempts for Oregon, 11 for Utah.
