Oregon MBB well on its way to a 4th win in 5 games, utilizing a 15-3 run into the half to take a 36-29 lead on Northwestern.

Nate Bittle (12 pts) has been stellar once again. #GoDucks

With OSU having won 6 of 8 games with one left in the regular season, bizarre timing from Scott Barnes to do this now.

For all the criticism of Wayne Tinkle, fair or otherwise, it often felt like he was set up to fail. A better coach and person than people give him credit for.

Hell of an effort to this point from Oregon MBB, leading Wisconsin 54-49 with 9:06 to go. Holding the Badgers to just 29% shooting and forced 8 turnovers.

Nate Bittle (17p, 5r, 4a, 1b, 2s) has been all over the floor. #GoDucks

Oregon down just 33-30 to Wisconsin at half. Dana Altman's team hanging tough with its defense and the hot shooting of Wei Lin (9 pts). #GoDucks

Nate Bittle with a Bill Walton-esque, full-court outlet pass to Kwame Evans Jr. for the dunk.

Oregon right back in it, down 21-16 to Wisconsin.

2 years ago, N’Faly Dante shared with me plans to build a house for his mother in Mali with NIL money he earned at Oregon.

Now that project is complete, and Dante can only experience their joy from a distance as he seeks a new NBA home. #GoDucks

Brian Scalabrine among those honored from USC MBB's 2001 team at halftime of their game against Oregon.

Reminds me of one of my favorite all-time athlete quotes, from Scal: "I'm closer to LeBron than you are to me."

Not sure where Oregon goes from here. A road trip to Northwestern on Feb. 28 feels like the only winnable game left of the five remaining. Team just isn’t competitive with the injuries.

Bigger questions to come in the offseason. #GoDucks

Game 26 and, even considering the injuries, it looks like Oregon has never seen a zone defense before.
