The Official Duck Hunt your way to the Sweet 16 Game thread

[Bigtenchamp]

we gave up 44 pts in the 2nd half of GVC... thats 100 pts in the last full game of bball.

 

[STILLBUSTER]

CJF has disappeared. I think he was a 45+% 3-pt shooter for most of the season.

No shit! He's been awol for the last month. I get the foot issues but if you're back, be back, not just a warm body.

3 -11 from beyond the arc: Hawks

7-14: Ducks

Garza can't do it all by himself

Looks like Fran better make half-time adjustments, namely, give up the match-up zone and take away the 3. Ducks can shoot!

This is exactly oregon’s strategy and it’s brilliant. Let garza be garza, but don’t let the rest hurt you

This is how Michigan easily beat Iowa in Ann Arbor last season. Garza scored 40, but the rest of the team didn't do much and Iowa couldn't stop them.

We have seen enough mid major teams with semi-athletic personnel PROVE what defense can do.........sometimes its hard for me to understand why it is such a foreign concept for us

 

[HawksMN]

I'll be sorely disappointed if Iowa doesn't fight for this and proceeds to get blown out.

 

[Stanzi]

Joe W had at least a half dozen opportunities where he could have easily gotten off a 3 but he hesitated and the Oregon defender was able to man him up. If he wants to play in the NBA he needs to have confidence and shoot the damn ball.

Ask Fran....

Watched some of the Gonzaga game the other night

They had a 40 point lead with about 10 minutes left in the game

All their starters on the floor

Oh they're getting blown out. This game is over. Bet your farm on Oregon.

 

[STILLBUSTER]

Here's where I'm at ...
Thank GOD for the last 4 years being able to watch Luka Garza. Coulda been a contender, Marlon, had he had ANY sort of consistent supporting cast. Just 1 Pippen wulda been nice.

 

[thedukeofearl]

Well, the Ducks

Just set the NCAA Tournament scoring record for most points in a half

56 is the record

 

[1980HAWKFAN]

Let's don't panic yet. If Oregon shoots at a 60% clip this half we have no chance no matter whose on the floor. Keep pounding it to Garza, defend better, and keep battling.

 

[HaydenHawk56]

dumb foul by perkins there.... dude wasn't getting that rebound.


The speed of this game is the way basketball was meant to be played.

[Stanzi]

I think the most maddening thing is that Iowa CAN play good defense but most of the time they choose not to. Look at Loyola. You think they have better athletes? Hell no. But they are bought in on the defensive side of the ball.

 

[STILLBUSTER]

only 2 starters scored for Iowa

That is pathetic and inexcusable!

 

[vork22]

Jason Bohannon lol. He has scored the same amount as Jordon Bohannon.

 

[thedukeofearl]

Ask Fran....

Tell Fran

 

[HaydenHawk56]

This is what happens when you lack guard play....and lack of team speed.

 

[HawksMN]

I agree though, OR continues to shoot 60% and it's curtains.
