Oregon.

I actually saw them play Arizona St (I was mainly interested because Bobby Hurley is the coach). I have to say, I never thought Oregon was ever a #1 seed. But Oregon lost to Stanford somehow, and Stanford looked pretty rough this season (15-15 is their record). So I think anything's possible.
Honestly, I think St Joes can beat them. Oregon, however, isn't that big and they seem to play fast.....
Oregon has their own Ingram and he's not their best player. They have only lost 6 games for a reason. They should be 5-7 point favs IMO. I hope we d up like we did today.
Oregon has some rough losses, but they have sort of gotten on a roll. Either team will be a great challenge for Duke.

Not an overly big team, and Marshall should be able to bully their C in the paint as he's long, but a stick. Ingram should be able to post their F's as well. Should be interesting IF Oregon can get past SJU.

I'm hearing/reading that Oregon will destroy Duke. But, you know, if we win then it's just because we're playing the weakest 1 seed and they should have never been a 1 seed as it were.
Those idiots love having it both ways; either team should be a good matchup for Duke
Same ones saying well get destroyed are the same ones that were claiming easy path lol
Idk they prob see us as the gold standard and with a "if we can beat them we can beat anyone" attitude
If Oregon has an edge, it's depth. They play more guys regularly and can call on more guys if need be in case of foul trouble. Over a 40 minute game, I think that gives them the edge. With that said, Oregon's certainly a team that we could probably beat 3 or 4 times out of 10 if we can make shots and manage the game well (e.g., avoid foul trouble, limit turnovers, etc.).
Unlike a lot of teams, Oregon is not going to be able to take advantage of the achilles heal of our team -- which is rebounding and interior defense.

I'm not so sure we will be playing Oregon. I think St Joe's wins that game.

I'm actually relieved that the Ducks get the win. Playing mid majors with nothing to lose is different than playing a power 5 team that is expected to win. Their main guy Brooks will get to know our Ingram.
