Even though this loss is going to hurt our prospects for a high seed in the tourney, this loss may have also in some ways helped to save us come tourney tme..
If Tony is in fact his father’s son, D. Low will be ripped from Eugene to Corvallis to Pullman back to Eugene and Corvallis and then back to Pullman for that INANE chuck at the end of the first half. That my friends, the 3 points that we lost because of that shot, is the reason we lost this game.
Bottom line: when none of your guys–less Harmeling and Weaver in spurts–have a good game and you are down to the wire at Mac Court–you’re pretty darn good.
The thing with this team is that they will always be in games because of defense–and there are not many teams out there like the Quack who can really chuck from all corners with that 3 ball, who, quite frankly, the Cougs really don’t match up with.
But time and time again this team makes runs and bills big leads only to lose their executiion and let teams back in.
If this team can learn to continue to execute offensively when they are building double digit or near double digit leads, they are a Final Four team.
But without that, we could see a really dissapointing exit from the tourney and I’m talkin an EARLY exit.
Lets just bounce back and beat the Beavs on Saturday.
Duckhater thinks that game is going to be MUCH tougher than one might think.
