I don’t know if Kelly Graves would agree. 15-9 & 10-7 in the Pac-12 had to be a disappointment for an Oregon team that brought in what some folks believed was the top recruiting class in the nation along with highly touted transfer Sedona Prince.
Many people are confused by the phrase, not knowing for sure if it is "hear, hear" or "here,here". But you seem to have covered your bet with a bit of admixture and a dose of wtf!
Upsetting Georgia and losing to Louisville in the sweet 16 is an accomplishment considering who they lost
How about Iowa and Princeton this year, and Iowa & Vandy next year. Give our favorite new coach a year under her belt before UCONN comes to town.
I would not say that Oregon team exceeded expectations
The Georgia win was a nice win. Louisville embarrassed Oregon. If you’re truly a top program, you don’t rebuild. You reload. UConn lost a 1st team AA, Megan, along with last year’s WNBA ROY, Crystal, and they had a better season with 3 freshmen playing significant roles.
Agree. That just demonstrates how much those gurus that try to rate recruiting classes know.
Well that's just laughable to say they're a top program they're not
At 15-9, I agree with you. But after achieving an aggregate record of 97-12 over the previous 3 seasons, ending each season ranked 7th, 6th & 2nd respectively in the AP poll, the Ducks did not “exceed expectations” this past season as you suggested. In fact, Oregon took a step backwards, ranked 23rd in the final AP poll, after being ranked 9th in a preseason poll.
There was some conversation about a future game after the entertaining game at Arkansas. But to the best of my knowledge nothing came of it. Remember that game in Fayetteville was not a “home & home.” It was a fill-in game scheduled on short notice by Geno and Mike Neighbors because of all the cancellations due to the pandemic.
@triaddukefan don't worry! Geno will schedule Duke when they become a power.
Arkansas knows we want them badly, and given our current team, I don't believe they are anxious to play us as yet. They lucked out by getting a top home town recruit that had committed to Baylor, so the cupboard is not bare. The SEC is loaded again, and based on their mediocre record against them last year, I don't think they are looking forward to playing us anytime soon, a sure loss that they can't afford to have.
I would love to see "THE GREAT" CAITLIN CLARK again against UCONN.UConn has 2 openings in their OOC schedule. I wouldn't mind a trip out to either Iowa or Iowa St. Both schools/cities support their teams and deserve a high profile game.
Anyone think ESPN might like another Clark-Bueckers game?
