First half woes dooms Oregon in Sweet 16

By on Friday, Mar. 29 at 7:41 pm.

The odds were not in Oregon’s favor. Louisville, after all, was the tournament’s number one overall seed, led it’s first two tournament games wire-to-wire and runs a pressure defense that has given coaches across the country night terrors. But it wasn’t the press that doomed Oregon in the Ducks Sweet 16 loss to Louisville. Oregon was [...]

Home sweet home for Louisville.

Dominant rebounding performance leads Oregon to NCAA Tournament win over Oklahoma State

By on Friday, Mar. 22 at 10:09 am.

Arsalan Kazemi had double-digit rebounds, but that’s pretty much to be expected at this point. What wasn’t as expected was Oregon’s complete dominance of Oklahoma State. The Ducks out-rebounded the Cowboys 44-30 with an even more one-sided 14-4 edge on the offensive glass. Kazemi was such a force down low that he had more offensive rebounds — six — [...]

We have located Dominic Artis.
