Game 24, at Oregon (2016-2017)

[BigSkyCatinMT]

Another turnover, another dunk.

Ditto just seconds later.

[PieceOfMeat]

played 30 minutes. have 30 points.
will win you 0 games.

[BigSkyCatinMT]

Dunk, then offensive foul TO. Changing the order, same result.

[CalStateTempe]

This is absolutely demoralizing. You just have to throw the tape away. This definitely got the Cats attention. They can throw away the press clippings because they won't be receiving any more. They weren't even competitive in any way. Lauri seems overwhelmed. They can take this pounding in two ways. Either they will trend downward, or take it as a lesson that nothing can be taken for granted. They need work because they aren't even close to as good as they thought.

Just said essentially the same thing to my wife.

[PieceOfMeat]

how did chance foul him there? wtf

[PennZona20]

Dorsey kills as everytime

Yeah solid decision to run him off in favor of Justin Simon.

[ghostwhitehorse]

29-6 points off turnovers. Ball game.

[PieceOfMeat]

Remember the second half season collapse we had in 2013?

think it's happening again?

[PieceOfMeat]

steal, breakaway, miss the dunk.

fitting for this game

[ghostwhitehorse]

Trier for 3

[dmjcat]

My biggest beef is that Miller has stubbornly stuck to his big lineup the entire game........even while the Ducks continue to crush it, time after time after time after time after time.

[Alieberman]

Just put the walk ons in, this effort is embarrassing

[CalStateTempe]

"We won conference?"

what are they chanting?

[PieceOfMeat]

Honest question DMJ: does this in any way surprise you?
What in Miller's past have you seen that would indicate he's anything BUT the type of coach who sticks to his gameplan no matter what? I'm not surprised in the least.

[PieceOfMeat]

lol fans didnt like Ristic's show of emotion after that dunk

Like not doubling Kaminsky??? Can't argue with you but one would think that Miller might evolve at some point.

After UCLA, vs Wazzu, UDub, Or St, Nike U, this team has been terrible.

That's 4 straight games where this team has shit the bed. Little effort, no hustle, lazy, turnovers galore etc etc. Even kadeem is sucking it up badly.

Similar vibes, although we'll win on talent alone and/or the team will be too tired to win. But teams will zone us and keep the game close with a chance to beat us.

[michcat]

lauri a non factor all week. Hope he hasn't hit the wall.

[Merkin]

Lauri playing himself out of the top 10. Trier playing himself into the late 2nd round.

Yes, like that as one glaring example.

He's not shown any evolution yet, and this is his 9th season here? or is it 8th? Regardless, the "some point" doesn't appear to be on the horizon.

[ghostwhitehorse]

Part of the problem is the Fucking Ducks just got redonk hot. Full Stop. Rational criticism is to a benefit. . . cannibalism is not.

We had 18 pts at the half, you'll lose most of those games if you do that.

We got to 30pts deep into the 2nd half, you'll lose most of those games if you do that.

[HiCat]

Rawle still playing..nice.

[Merkin]

Ducks did have open looks for their 3s. Not like that many were contested.

[dmjcat]

Miller continues to be Altmans bitch. If Altmans recruiting ever comes up to a par with Millers the Cats will be looking up at UO for a long time.

this is an excuse that I'm tired of seeing. "oh team X just got hot". Well part of them getting hot was our piss poor D. so no, it's not a "full stop" as there are reasons behind them getting hot.

[PieceOfMeat]

Yep.

[michcat]

Miller out coached and made a big mistake putting lauri on brooks and sticking with it too long.

So. . .what config does Miller use since the two towers didn't work? Pinder has faded, Ray's knees are "no comment", Chance is just a dunk machine right now, Bennett Davidson is a bit out of eligibility. So what is your solution?

[Frybry02]

Positive... WE split on the road. And I really want to see how this team responds to today's game.

[PennZona20]

Aaron Gordon still has some eligibility doesn't he??

[ghostwhitehorse]

Aaron Gordon still has some eligibility doesn't he??

NBA money tends to kill that sort of thing, alas.

[PennZona20]

Well we responded after playing the best game Of the season by playing shitty for 4 straight so hopefully we respond after our shittiest game of the season by playing our best.

[UAEebs86]

As long as he hasn't hired an agent or taken any money LOL.

[ghostwhitehorse]

Well we responded after playing the best game Of the season by playing shitty for 4 straight so hopefully we respond after our shittiest game of the season by playing our best.

Next up. . . a soothing tonic (I FUCKING HOPE) named Stanford. At home.
