Oregon prediction thread

[uconngb]

We have a few talented individuals looking forward to this game, they have something to prove. I think every one of our big three is productive and the young Ducks fold under pressure. It will be a home game for them, but it's not their home court. Their crowd will pump us up too

Huskies prevail

Serious question: Who is our "big three"?

Jalen, Larrier, and Gilbert.

 

[HuskyBandDad]

Is Cobb playing? Sprained ankle status?

 

[willie99]

Jalen, Larrier, and Gilbert.

I thought this would be obvious, although I suppose one could argue Vital belongs in the mix since he's exceeding expectations

 

[Chief00]

Concerned about Cobb - he’s not 100%

 

[Bryan Lord]

Pretty sure we are doomed here and not in the cute boneyard meme way.

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

Oregon 92
UConn 46

Ducks go on a 20-0 run to start the game and never look back.

 

[RJScootin]

That's on KO?
OK

Yeah it's on him. The program collapsed last year. Top recruit decommitted and players transferred. That's on the the HC.

 

[Dove]

Oregon should prepare to get majorly Kasongoed.

UCONN - 82 Ducks - 74

Dude. Kasongo. Yes

 

[Wordbomar]

We need Cobb healthy

Since most of this thread is arbitrary guesses based entirely on last season, I'll do some digging. Here's what I've got:

My player to watch is Roman Sorkin. 6'10" center from Israel. He had 23 pts on 8-9 shooting against Coppin St. 4-5 from 3. Sat out the last two games and most of second with a minor foot injury. I'd expect him to play Thursday.

Payton Pritchard is the lone returning starter from last year. 6'2" guard we should match up really well with. He's shooting it really well this year, seems very solid through their first four games. 12.5 pts 5.8 ast.

Victor Bailey is a 6'4" frosh guard, top 100 recruit, who could be a matchup issue since our entire team is comprised of undersized guards and forwards. Again, looking alright in early going shooting 35% from 3 and 12.5 ppg. He probably comes off the bench.

Troy Brown was their big 5 star recruit this year. Ranked just outside the top 10. He's 6'7" but was often listed as a PG as a recruit, but he's definitely playing 3/4 for Oregon this year. He's looked solid for the most part this year, but was quiet against Ball St. I'd imagine we'd match up well here.

Neither team has a big size advantage, we both have a good amount of depth. Many of our best players haven't really touched a high major opponent in their career. Hopefully they rise to the occasion here.

 

[UConnSwag11]

I’m hoping Adams and Vital play with fire after last season

 

[Balker]

I think it'll be just about impossible for us to go 3 guard, too. Unless we can really turn them over in bunches. They seem to favor playing 3-4 forwards. That could be a lot more minutes for players who haven't seen much action.

Wow, but the site in general is just very poorly done. Looks dated by about 15 to 20 years..

Let's send some of our field hockey fans over there to set them straight.

With Cobb healthy we would win.

With Cobb healthy we would win.

Here's hoping Magic digs deep and overcomes his boo boo.

 

[willie99]

Yeah it's on him. The program collapsed last year. Top recruit decommitted and players transferred. That's on the the HC.

Injuries to 3 key players for $ 1,000 Alex

Saying that Ollie’s offense is rough for the first 10 minutes of games is being kind. Can’t have that. KO’s job is to have his team playing in mid game form at the start of the game.

I agree KO really needs to focus on the first 10 minutes. Additionally, the players need to be really to ball from the tip-off.

What is the betting line on this game? I can't seem to find it online, but it may be too early as the sites I have seen only have the games through Weds up right now.

Too early for cbb
