GoDucks349 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I think it will be somewhat like the La Salle game. The Bills will let the Ducks hang around through halftime and then throttle them. It looks like the whole country has underestimated the A-10 this season. I'm not sure that's all that wise. Oregone has done well in the second half. If it's close at the half Oregon is in good shape. They tend to play much better defense in the second half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbofive Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I'm pretty sure SLU basketball put up a private version of this in HD but I can't find it anymore. WEAK YOUR GOOGLE IS, PADAWAN.

WestCoastBilliken Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 lol, Ducks fans are pretty confident they will be able to handle our nonathletic or physical team. Why is this a common theme among every fan base we play? It must be because our players dont jam time I keep forgetting, like NMSU, you are only athletic if you jam time every time down the court.

GoDucks349 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I don't know any realistic Duck fans that think Oregon will "handle" Saint Louis physically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 Here's a "one stop shop" for comparing the two teams. Oregon is surprisingly similar to SLU in scoring--several players averaging around 11 ppg but no single, stand out scorer: http://billikenball.com/saint-louis-basketball/compare_stats/oregon Their numbers are surprisingly similar to ours. Definitely an edge in rebounding, but not as significant as with Xavier or NMSU. They turn it over 3-4 times per game more than we do. Their games are slightly higher scoring but the margin is similar. Percentages are close. Interesting. They're putting too much stock in our Washington loss, so I'm not going to put too much in any of theirs (Cincinnati, @UTEP, @Stanford, @Cal, Colorado, Cal, @Colorado, @Utah). Good wins over UNLV, Arizona, UCLA twice, and now Oklahoma State. To take a little steam off the "5-1 vs. the top 25" stat, 2 of those were UCLA, 1 was Arizona, and 1 was UNLV (the last was OSU). UNLV is no longer ranked, and both Arizona and UCLA have gone down a decent amount. Arizona is the highest-ranked today, at 21st. Scoring is very spread out, with 3 guys between 11 and 11.5 PPG. 3 more between 8.7 and 9.4. Kazemi is the biggest matchup problem for us. Their top contributors seem to all be either seniors (Kazemi, Woods, Singler, Emory) or freshmen (Artis, Dotson). So they've got some experience, especially in the frontcourt. We'll need to get to Artis. This is all new to him. Dotson had 17 in the first game. Kazemi leads the team in both steals and rebounds, which seems rare. Loe and Remekun need to be tough with the ball when they get it inside. I hope the refs are calling it tight, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woods can put up 20 very quickly if you don't put the clamps on him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woods can put up 20 very quickly if you don't put the clamps on him Is Woods an all-or-nothing guy? Had 19 against Washington and his 3 games since then have been 3, 4, and 2. Rebounds were lower in the past 3 games, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slufan13 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 If you want to beat SLU, you have to do it inside. I think Oregon has the talent to that but I still see SLU winning this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely true. Oregon will be a force in the frontcourt, but they're young and not as deep at guard. Whose mismatch will win out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westy03 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Oregon is going to have the home court advantage. They have the bigs to beat us on the glass. I could see us easily losing this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
