Lost among all this discussion is the fact that Miller accepted zero responsibility for himself and/or the staff for any responsibility for last night's loss... ... "just sayin'", as they say. Why should he? It's clear he's been preaching the same thing to the team for a while now. The message does...

"Lost the team" my ass. Those same people probably supported Chris Rodgers against Lute. Who delivered these guys a Pac-12 title last season and who coaches up our U.S. Olympic team? It's not these players' right to go out on the floor and dog it on opposing players' drives. That's their first resp...

We are not a very athletic team and Oregon is. In fact, we're one of the less athletic teams in the conference right now. A lot of that has to do with Trier and Ray Smith being out with injuries. If they're on the floor, we become a very athletic team that can guard well. We've got three undersized ...

If JJ is a sure fire one and done, what difference does it make academically? I mean really, most freshman courses are foundational. I could see a major being an important factor during college selection if this player was looking at earning a degree. And maybe he will after he's gone on to pro ball...

Who the f@ck cares about 2016 PAC 12 title Honestly who cares, what does it matter. Does it give us a bye in the tournament? Does it mean we automatically make the sweet 16? Only thing that matters is how we do in the tournament All this stuff before hand is kind of mindless foreplay First and fore...

In the last 1:05 vs. Virginia, Wake Forest missed 7 FT's and loses at the buzzer on a three pointer. That's two last second wins on 3's for Virginia (also vs. Cal) after their opponent chokes away a big lead late. Disappointing as I feel Virginia is overrated.......having said that, looks like they...

Miller said post game that if he would have had to do it over again that he would have still called those 2 early TOs in the second half again. It did get the team on track after the worst 4 minutes in the CSM era that I can remember. Lute wouldn't have called a time out even if he had one. But dou...

Maybe it's my eyes deceiving me, but I think Cal only ran a zone press when PJC was our primary ballhandler. He handled it ok, but I do think it says something about other teams and their perception, bc I really don't remember it when Allen was our primary ballhandler. I noticed that as well. Stanf...

After York's inability to dribble at the end of the USC game, no idea why he was tasked with this again, and still has no handles. Again, why not get the ball to Ristic? The problem is Merk........who else do you give the ball to?? Someone has to handle it under pressure at the end. Ristic? Tolly? ...

carolinacat

Why not just run your offense and feed the post? Our bigs have decent moves inside. If Cal doubles, then you get the open look for York (or someone else) that you want. I think York might be afraid to give up the ball and then has trouble creating.

Oregon deserves to be ranked. No awful losses, solid wins over Baylor, USC, UCLA, @Utah.

I'm glad we don't have to play in Eugene. They're one team that could bust our home streak.

I heard that initially as well. But I would think the UNLV people with deep pockets would want a proven entity. Otherwise, why go through the trouble of getting rid of a coach in mid-season to replace him with an unproven assistant?

He's just turned into a really solid college player and is fun to watch. His development has been steady. He's not a superstar by any stretch but we'd be in a world of hurt without him. I wasn't a fan of York for the last three years, solely because he really only had one job and that was to consist...

carolinacat

Our inability to reach 80 points had more to do with Stanford playing a lot of zone, which requires more time to work your half court offense for a good shot, as well as Stanford playing slow on offense. We were still pretty efficient and shot the ball good but not great.

Unless there are legitimate and proven examples, I'm skeptical about over analyzing the Jerrett situation. I think he simply got some bad advice.

I think the skepticism surrounding Arizona is legitimate and in some ways warranted. We haven't played a super challenging schedule, certainly not compared to past standards. Our best win is Gonzaga on the road? BYU & UCLA both went in there and won as well, so that takes a little shine of that W. A...

Simon does contribute on the offensive end, just not in the traditional way many of us expect. He's great in transition and goes strong to the basket. His shooting skills are a little to be desired (ok, a lot) but his athleticism makes up for an awful lot. He provides a different element to the game...

What has Larry Scott done that is so remarkable? I mean, the Pac's TV contract was up right when Scott arrived. Talk about a golden opportunity.
