Really need to recapture our mojo here. Not working much so far.

32 for Oregon looks like 10 years older than he actually is.

Was going to ask how old that balding guy is.

Ugly early on with 2 airball threes but we've found our rhythm since with a 21-0 run.

Oregon shooting threes like this guy is certainly helping

Seeds haven't been assigned yet for TOTTM  Oregon isn't making TOTTM

Oregon is dogwater but it's a win we still had to have.

All week, this was a "get right" game....C'mon, it was nice to get a win, but man without their main guard, this is Altman's worst team ever.

Kudo's to Andrej....we need that guy for the rest of the year, if so he negotiates his own NIL next year.
Kudo's to Big Z, who out played his brother, Tomi really, really, really needs to make a couple of threes to get going again.

Seniors Humrichous, Boswell, AJ Redd, Thank you guys, Boswell came back when we needed him...Humrichous learned some new roles that made his game improve all around, AJ only made 1 dumb mistake while here....LOL per Coach after the game...then he gets 5 pts, 1 tip rebound, and a partial block...pretty good 2:30 of play.

Special thanks to Mihailo...the guy has had a rough ride, but to understand the gravity of the situation as a foreigner and between the legs leave for Redd's 3 was special on different levels.

Congrats NOW stay RIGHT for about a month or so please!!!

Everybody gets in this year and beat Md and we're no lower than a 4.

You are talking about the BTT?

By TOTTM, PAM means the NCAA tournament.

Nice blowout win, super happy for AJ Redd at the end seeing that smile on his face.

That's not TOTTM. That tournament is irrelevant.

He knows what TOTTM is. He's just trying to stir the pot.

The Other Tournament That Matters, it does matter, comes before The Only Tournament That Matters.

It doesn't matter unless it impacts TOTTM. It only rarely does

Too long of a layoff. Shot like shit.
Forgot to play defense vs a team that won yesterday while we were still practicing rolling the ball out.
We didn't want to go to St Louis anyway.
We didn't want to be in the Chicago region anyway.
Wtf. Buffalo.
