Oregon.

I have to say I have not seen them play, what are we up against?

 

[DFerryFan]

I actually saw them play Arizona St (I was mainly interested because Bobby Hurley is the coach). I have to say, I never thought Oregon was ever a #1 seed. But Oregon lost to Stanford somehow, and Stanford looked pretty rough this season (15-15 is their record). So I think anything's possible.

Honestly, I think St Joes can beat them. Oregon, however, isn't that big and they seem to play fast.....

 

[topps coach]

When do they play ST JOE

 

[DukeDenver]

Oregon has their own Ingram and he's not their best player. They have only lost 6 games for a reason. They should be 5-7 point favs IMO. I hope we d up like we did today.

 

[Showenuff]

They don't have that many big wins. We can beat them.

 

[Dukesince90]

I saw where they lost to Cal by 20. We need that formula.

 

[pisgah101]

Not that impressive to me and the way the Pac 12 has played in the tournament they're probably overrated as well. St Joes might clip em(haven't seen them though)

 

[Laettner]

I'm loving Oregon's late tip tomm. We get extra day & half of rest. Saw Ducks play few times, they can be beat.

St. Joseph's has a couple NBA players on their roster. They aren't going to be a pushover for Oregon.

 

[chov1125]

THR might explode if St Joe's wins.....

 

[uwgbluedevil]

Oregon has some rough losses, but they have sort of gotten on a roll. Either team will be a great challenge for Duke.

Not an overly big team, and Marshall should be able to bully their C in the paint as he's long, but a stick. Ingram should be able to post their F's as well. Should be interesting IF Oregon can get past SJU.

I'm hearing/reading that Oregon will destroy Duke. But, you know, if we win then it's just because we're playing the weakest 1 seed and they should have never been a 1 seed as it were.

Those idiots love having it both ways; either team should be a good matchup for Duke

 

[pisgah101]

Same ones saying well get destroyed are the same ones that were claiming easy path lol

 

[CRAZIE4LIFE]

I'm sure Oregon is looking at Duke the same way we are looking at Oregon

 

[pisgah101]

I'm sure Oregon is looking at Duke the same way we are looking at Oregon

Idk they prob see us as the gold standard and with a "if we can beat them we can beat anyone" attitude

 

[crazyduke3]

They have Tyler Dorsey right? We flirted for a while in recruiting but went our seperate ways.

 

[aah555]

If Oregon has an edge, it's depth. They play more guys regularly and can call on more guys if need be in case of foul trouble. Over a 40 minute game, I think that gives them the edge. With that said, Oregon's certainly a team that we could probably beat 3 or 4 times out of 10 if we can make shots and manage the game well (e.g., avoid foul trouble, limit turnovers, etc.).

Unlike a lot of teams, Oregon is not going to be able to take advantage of the achilles heal of our team -- which is rebounding and interior defense.

 

[QC Dukie]

I'm not so sure we will be playing Oregon. I think St Joe's wins that game.

OFC

I'm actually relieved that the Ducks get the win. Playing mid majors with nothing to lose is different than playing a power 5 team that is expected to win. Their main guy Brooks will get to know our Ingram.
