Message: [QUOTE="willtalk, post: 3811628, member: 1220"] Oregon, and to some degree Arizona, played like they had blinding lights shining in their eyes. One could also see they were a bit too amped up by those layups off the back board that did not even hit the rim. I have seen teams have jittery reactions to being on National TV before, but never to this degree. Having watched Oregon play a lot of games this season it is obvious to me that they alowed their appearence on national TV to affect their game. A player or team is never as bad as their worst game or as good as their best, but this game took it to a whole new level of stink. I wouldn't call their game totally a result of being scared. Some of it was also attempting to look good in front of a national audience. Either way it totaly threw them off their game and they never got it back. It does refect badly on Greaves because he should have seen what was happening early /on and instead of making a wholesale change on the court, he should have worked on getting their heads on straight with an early time out.
