I honestly have no clue how this game is going to go on Saturday. I think this game is as much of a toss up as we'll see all year long. I think we have the better roster at this moment with how decimated uo's front court is at the moment, but our recent history on the road has me shying away from picking us to win. No Vegas line as of yet but my guess is uo will probably be about 4 or 5 point favorites. ESPN BPI says we have a 21.5% chance of winning but I also don't think that factors in injuries and current roster situations.
Might be my orange-colored glasses here, but I'm gonna go with the good guys in a low-scoring squeaker 62-60.

dux have lost to teams that take care of the ball in crunch time. Texas Southern and Baylor were pretty stingy with the turnovers. That's not the beavs best skill. |

So... when the Beavs win on Saturday will it "count"? I mean I've read here repeatedly that key injuries basically vacate a losing season, and that 'anomalies' don't count/can be tossed out. Or, is it just for losing games? And, worse yet, what does a loss to a team decimated by injury/defections, including their best player, portend? Questions... before all the 20/20 hindsight begins...  |

Questions... before all the 20/20 hindsight begins... good question. Technically, no. Such a win, against a team decimated by injuries (awww) shall be deprecated. But since its the ux. Hell yes it's going to count. |

I would say that this season will not be an accurate barometer of Dana Altman's coaching ability, because of all the injuries/unexpected transfers that have depleted his roster. Of course it will count, but I would say this year's won-loss record will be an outlier, considering the sustained success he has had there. There you go. |

I was intending to post something similar but you've said it better. It counts on the won loss record, but circumstances count when judging coaching ability. I stuck with that in my judgment of Riley, I'll stick with it in my judgment of Tinkle. |

DA is a scum bag no matter his W/L record... besides legit injury (feel for such guys) how many don't even belong in the prgram for one reason or another. |

Not disagreeing with you there.
Wonder how much of his signing bonus Bol Bol has to pay back?

if we keep the bakers union at bay (making turnovers) and the masons union (laying bricks) we are golden.! I would love to have seen KK vs BB however we've had the baker problem all year. Bricks I think we are OK KK vs BB Good point. that's a very interesting scenario we will not see. I was pondering that myself. i thought it might roll BB's way because the CW can be a catfight and its in their scumpond, their crowd. But KK seems like a competitor and given his time spent in that area probably has had an assful of the ugly yellow O people. He will definitely be fired up and needs to stay centered. I think KK is more mobile than BB and could have gotten lose around the rim for dunks. He doesnt shoot much and BB wouldnt get many chances to block his shots. On offense BB would sit out at the arc and fire away or he might try to drive since KK is one of the few guys he thinks he can muscle. Only, now he would run into Glig and end up looking like a moth stuck in the grill of a chevy. Guess we wont know. |

I think it will be close, but Beavs come out on top 69-65.

Yes, it will count. Ducks team is what it is right now. Could be a better team in about 5 weeks with the return of Wooten. I agree that this game is a toss-up - and might favor OSU given how many roster adjustments and scheme adjustments Altman has to make with the personnel he has. I'll predict a tight, tense game. And unfortunately for me, Beavers win 58-53. |

It's in Eugene, we'll lose. Last win was in 2012. The one before that was in 2010. Before that? 1993. Oregon State is 2-23 over the last 25 games in Eugene. |

In the past 3 seasons under WT (and that goes back to GPII senior year) Beavs have won a total of two road games in PAC 12 regular season play.
Tough to be optimistic about tomorrow's game down south.
