Have we completely lost it in men’s basketball?
Two straight games we just look bad in all phases of the game. Nothing going on at all. Ugh.

I can’t even believe that second half. Payton Pritchard is playing on a different level today. Good solid second half defense and clutch shots at the end.
I’m going to have a stroke before the end of this season.

Haha, what was Pritch saying after he made the game-winning shot? Something about "my house" or ???
The kid is cold!

My lip reading skills made out "this is my gym."

Re: Have we completely lost it in men’s basketball?
What a game! I wasn't too hopeful during the first half either. They need to be more aggressive on D and the boards consistently. On offense they need to find a way to use their offensive weapons better than just having Pritchard bail them out. Altman should get them on the right track by tourney time, I'm confident he will like in many years past. I attended college in the midwest and saw a couple of Creighton games when Altman was coaching Kyle Korver.

Yes to all that! Also, Oregon shot 58% from the FT line, Dante needs to step it up (they're gonna need him) and between Richardson, Duarte & Mathis, they were 1 of 15 from distance. Most of that wasn't due to the UW defense either. And although Pritch was amazing, I have noticed his assists are way down...of course when you have guys shooting 1 of 15 from distance, that's going to happen.
But I agree with you. Come tournament time, Altman will have this team playing like a final 4 team. And hopefully this comeback will inspire confidence for the rest of the season.

Down 16, I didn't think they could pull this one off. If this is to continue, they won't go far in the tournament. As amazing as Pritchard is, we can't expect him to bail out the team night in and night out. Props to them to get it done. 24 fouls called on the Ducks, 13 on the Huskies. They got some 'home cookin' but it didn't help them out. Reminds me of the Michigan game, where the refs did everything they could to help the Wolverines win. I also noticed that Richardson got the start over Mathis. Didn't help. Richardson 0-4, Mathis 0-5 shooting. Juiston 3-11 and Duarte 2-10. Pritchard's six three-pointers won it. And how about Chandler Lawson, 28 minutes, 7-12, 16 points and 12 rebounds!!! He needs to start. Go Ducks.

Pritchard is amazing. Stone cold. So glad to see that building go silent and those huskies going home with another L!
Go Ducks! Big win. Damn, UW has some athletic players...

Shocked by how bad our free throw shooting is. Outside of Pritchard, it is seriously lacking...

Re: Have we completely lost it in men’s basketball?
Pritchard left the court yelling "This is my town" or "this is my state" or "this is my $@!!###" city...something like that.
Meanwhile, the Duck fans stayed a while shouting "LET'S GO DUCKS!", while the Washington faithful slowly headed to the exits with stunned looks on their faces.
The goodwill gestures on the part of the team & their fans will only endear them even more to all of the fine Washington fans. It was our Kum-ba-yah moment in Seattle.

Kind of an ugly win? Maybe. But any time the Ducks beat the Huskies in any sport it's ultimately beautiful!
