Message: [QUOTE="newfrontier, post: 3411645, member: 8141"] ESPN headlines says Oregon "dominates" Oregon State. I'm calling that misleading at best and pure B.S. at worst. Oregon "beats" Oregon State at home is more accurate. They really only "dominated" in one quarter, the second quarter, NOT THE WHOLE GAME. Here are other reasons why their headline is inaccurate: 1. OSU played the Ducks closer (score-wise) at home than any other Oregon opponent all season. OSU was Oregon's toughest home game so far this season. 2. OSU outscored the Ducks in the second half, the only Duck opponent to do that against them at home all season. The only other teams to out score Oregon in the second half were Louisville and Arizona State, both away games and both were the Duck's only 2 losses for the season (so far). 3. OSU shot a higher percentage overall than the Ducks. 4. OSU shot better (highest %) than any Oregon opponent this year, home or away, even better than Louisville. 5. OSU tied Oregon in total number of rebounds. Oregon has out-rebounded all of its other opponents, home or away, except for Louisville. Of course what killed OSU was poor 3 pt shooting, more turnovers than Oregon, and fewer made free throws, a familiar pattern of late. In any event, I would not call the Oregon win a "domination". Oregon hits 3 last second, end of quarter, 3 pointers, all in the same game...how often does that happen? Like never? Take 2 of those away from the Ducks and add a couple wide open 3s by Tudor or Pivec that they should have made, and you have a different ball game. [/QUOTE]
