We had a foul to give and our players waited until 1.1 second left to foul, and thus the Wildcats could not go to the line! And with the final second--the shooter had to delay a second as the defender flew by. Wow...Dana Altman is to be credited for the plan and the players for executing it to perfection. Too bad Tucson!

February 13, 20215 yr Moderator No. That was a brilliant play, and another example of why Oregon has beaten Arizona in 9 of the last 11 games. The Ducks make plays. Oregon has Dana Altman, Arizona has Sean Miller. It used to be that Arizona had a talent advantage over Oregon, that isn't the case anymore. Duarte scored 18 in the first half against ASU, 0 in the 2nd half, and for quite awhile didn't have many in this one, until the 3 that put the Ducks on top. Eugene from Eugene had another strong game, as did LJ Figueroa, who has found a 3 point shot in the last two games. These are the Ducks we've come to know under Altman, getting it done when it counts the most.
February 13, 20215 yr No. Does Dana Altman own Sean Miller? 12 wins vs 6 losses 6 wins vs 1 loss in Eugene 5 wins vs 3 losses in Tucson 1 win vs 2 losses in the conference tournament

February 13, 20215 yr No. For the Ducks to out-rebound a much taller Arizona team speaks of tremendous effort and technique. Much credit to the Ducks for saving and wisely utilizing the foul at the end. Our D worked very hard in this game. I am glad I recorded the game-one to look at again to pick up the finer points. Our experienced transfers played well.

But, as you mentioned, he and Omoruyi are just demonstrating the veteran presence, along of course with Duarte. It definitely shows up at the end of games.
