Game Thread: Tonight you're all welcome on the Duck train

Jeebuz that #1 Bell is a shot blocking machine....what did he have last night? About 14 blocked shots?

Incredible

Truthfully, I don't hate Duke, most certainly not like some other basketball fans. I highly respect Duke and coach K because the guy can flat out coach and his teams are always so disciplined, unselfish, and they play good defense.

Does the Duck train pass through Scenario Village?

Apologies OD, but I just dropped 1100 v's on the Ducks, thus guaranteeing a loss tonight.

It happens.

[occupant]

This one goes out to my ducky pals....I know you're hurtin'. Hang in there breh.

 

[CatsTopPac]

Good run Oregon! Better run OK!

The Duck train to stop the Grayson Allen train. A little play on the Trump Train stopping the Ted Cruz train, given how much Allen looks like Cruz.

But seriously, welcome aboard folks! Say a little SKOOO Ducks right before tip off, sit back, enjoy the BEAUTY of the 2-1-2 press Oregon puts on Duke and watch coach K sweat in fear of the collapse that is about to take place in the Sweet 16.

Nothing NOTHING is sweeter then to knock off the defending national champions in the tournament. I have always believed you are the champion until someone beats you, and it's always awesome to have the defending champion in the tournament to try and knock them out.

Duke is probably one of the most disliked teams in college basketball, Hell, they made a documentary about the hatred towards Duke. So tonight, I welcome you all aboard The Duck train! It's rolling straight to Houston folks. Get on now because it's going to be great! We are going to make the tournament great again!

Prediction:

OREGON 71

Duke 60

Not falling for this again @OregonDucks, you got me on tDuck train (skoo skoo) 2 years ago when Oregon went up against tOSU for the natty. You had me convinced that Marcus Mariotta was going to pass for 500+ yards & 6+ TDs against that slow Buckeyes squad.

But if Duke had won, you would've said that Coach K is an overrated coach whose team gets all sorts of help from the refs & whose players generally underachive or get injured in the NBA.

Don't worry @OregonDucks, Oregon could still win the Women's NIT!

 

[OregonDucks]

Elite 8 bros.

 

[occupant]

We won't sniff the tourney next year more than likely....enjoying it while I can.

 

[Wheat]

dunno, the bench has played pretty well in the tourney. James, Lattin, McNeace, Buford will all be back as will Woodard. It's not like the cupboard will be bare.

I like OUr future in BB.

 

[occupant]

...but...Buddy?

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

Well OD you were a number one seed, made the elite 8

but you still couldn't beat Boise State

I think they could still be good and a tourney team but a lot of the shots Buddy takes and makes will be taken by others and some will be misses that could go the other way. but they will still get theirs too. Oregon had a guy that carried the team last year avg 20 ppg and they were better this year after he left

Good call, but that's what I thought going into this year as well. Kruger can coach, though it'll likely be rough for a little bit post-Buddy.
