Schadenfreude - West Coast Edition

[Miggins]

While RU moved to the right side of the bubble with a big road win, Oregon lost their 4th game in the last 5 to likely drop off the bubble.
Grass is not always (Oregon) greener.

Can't we just wish Jacob well? He brought magic for us. Life goes on.

Addition by subtraction, this team is clearly a unified roster this season. So as great a JY was last season it's obvious there was friction with others.

Get we get of this train already!! JY helped us make the NCAAs last year and helped us win many games. We have no idea how he and the team would have done this year. For all we know, we don't lose the likes of Umass and Lafayette with him on the floor.

That said, he moved on and so should we

We don't make the tourney without JY interception vs Minnesota and he would have been a great peice here this year

I don’t actively pay attention to any of the “defectors” (Get the sense that none of them are lighting the world on fire)

so while I don’t actively root against their success (again not really paying attention)…. To hear that Oregon may miss the tourney - not gonna lie - I kinda like it

sorry. Not sorry

Peter Kiss is leading the nation in scoring!

Had to be mentioned...lol

i put him in the same category as mathis. I liked them both but thought their time here had concluded. Personally nice to see kiss succeed (at a lower level fwiw)

johnson leaving sucked cause we really needed him and he not having nearly same impact at UCLA apparently. He kinda gets a pass since grad transfer and went home

young going to Oregon was kinda messed up

but either way I don’t pay any attention unless someone brings up the topic on this message board

So true about Young. When he left I don't think anyone thought he'd be playing college basketball this season. Everyone just assumed he'd be playing pro ball somewhere overseas.

Kyk has already said this multiple times... Young didn't intend on transferring to Oregon. He was going pro, but Altman convinced him to try one year and see if he could get him drafted.

No reason to hate on Young. He was a huge huge part of the team's success and gave maximum effort, energy, and heart every time he stepped on the court. True competitor

Wish you well Young. Thanks for the memories

Just like Luis Flores led the nation in scoring at Manhattan after transferring from RU in the early 2000s.

 

[Westcoast]

And Charles Jones transferred and became elite scorer - at smaller school - if memory serves.

 

[rob kight]

It’s a shame Phil Sellers didn’t come back this year. Could have used his scoring!

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Did Charles Jones lead the country in scoring too??? My memory is hazy but he lit it up at LIU and think maybe he did.

Correct!
