Hot shooting gets Ducks to 10-0 in 96-73 dismantling of Beavers The Oregon women didn’t need much defense on Wednesday — not on a 68% shooting night that produced their biggest-ever home win over Oregon State.

Ducks counter coordinator losses with record recruiting haul After the departures of key coaches this week, Oregon regrouped in the best way it knows how: with a best-ever signing class.

From last night:

Hot shooting gets Ducks to 10-0 in 96-73 dismantling of Beavers The Oregon women didn’t need much defense on Wednesday — not on a 68% shooting night that produced their biggest-ever home win over Oregon State.

Funny story: Kelly Graves talked about defense yesterday.

Not much of that is needed when you shoot 68 percent from the floor.

How does a team counter losing key coaches in consecutive days?

Loading up with 21 players and the No. 2 class in the country is a start.

57-27*

Halftime: Oregon leads Oregon State 57-25. Ducks are shooting 74% from the floor, 75% from three and are running the Beavers right out of the building.

Casual 31-point first quarter for the Oregon women here at MKA against Oregon State. 12 of 15 shooting. 6 of 7 from 3.

Let's take the temperature of the room:

After an 11-1 regular season, Oregon is...?

Thank you! Fun one today.

Ghosts gone, path clear: Ducks tame Huskies and charge into the Playoff The Ducks didn’t just beat Washington; they rewrote the rivalry’s recent history and secured their place in the postseason.

Demons at Husky Stadium? That's old news for the Oregon Ducks, who are writing new history with an ending TBD.

“The expectation is to win a national championship,” Bryce Boettcher said. “Plain and simple.”

Oregon won.

Ducks and Huskies trying to one-up each other by not blocking blitzing guys off the edge who intend to decapitate their quarterbacks.

With everything on the line, Ducks and Huskies meet again — and so do we Oregon’s depth, Washington’s growth, a playoff path, a coaching carousel…Tyson Alger and Christian Caple sort through a rivalry that suddenly has stakes again.

It's Ducks vs. Huskies, so naturally we brought back Alger vs. Caple this week to preview Saturday's game.

We were watching Seton Hall and noticed a kid named Simpkins. My husband said he looks a lot like our Simpkins…looked it up and found your article. Such a cool story! Thanks!

Thanks, Lynn! Glad you found it.

Never won one of these, but has been fun to see Corridor work nominated in three of its four years.

Breaking: Wei Lin hit a three.

Ah damn it. Will fix that. Thanks, Eric.

On the USC win, Air Sadiq and the stability that defines Lanning’s Oregon Oregon beat USC with star power, depth and a head coach who keeps proving why he’s staying. In a season full of bigger stakes, Saturday was a reminder of how secure this program has become.

Dan Lanning cut his teeth in the SEC. But on Saturday, the Oregon coach took his final step in joining the resistance.

“We didn’t play Chattanooga State today, like some other places.”

appreciate that, Alan.

After 11 games, Oregon is...?

After Bryce Boettcher's 1-yard touchdown run, I asked the linebacker if he feels he can be more than just a goal line back.

“If we put the ball on the (other) 1-yard line, I’m going to go 99 to the house. That’s my mentality." t.co/0FaItgC0br

A linebacker, a backup line and a body blow: Oregon drops USC On a night when injuries could have limited the offense, the Ducks still controlled USC — thanks to turnovers, special teams and the most unlikely rushing touchdown of the year.
