Message: [QUOTE="willtalk, post: 3392904, member: 1220"] I mentioned that Oregon had a very thin roster. They were down to 3 serviceable guards one of which was a freshman who had played very little. Their biggest issue in that game was a not 100 percent Hebard who if it were not the playoffs would not even have been playing. She was a shadow of her normal AA self. As to what they lost. The Ducks lost a pretty good assist and shooting guard, but they gained a speedy defensive guard who is a threat to drive. That is what they did not have last season, so to me that was an overall net gain. As well as gaining guard depth, they gained depth all around. Baylor lost Brown and that is all that needs to be said. Losing her changed the entire makeup of the team. Having followed them all year, I knew all about the Baylor team. I doubt you knew the Oregon team as well. I stand by my statements. Baylor this year is an entirely different animal than it was last season. They might certainly be as good, but they certainly are different. Oregon, on the other hand is much better than the crippled team that played in the playoffs last season. [/QUOTE]
