It's early, but Utah is off to a terrible start against Arizona St. Always some weird happenings at the Pac 12 tourney.

I remember when ionescu was there and they kind of dominated, and seemed like the world was their oyster given the Nike money and all..I thought we would never catch them again......oh how the turn tables The world was theirs because of Ionescu. The money was/is the same. Amazing how some coaches are geniuses when they have a generational talent on their team.

Ruthie and Satou filled out their stars and they were backed up by several position players. Unfortunately i also came with the biggest pia assistant coach. gravy had a solid record before uo and he will get there again, maybe with the schmucks or somewhere else. I'm not a fan of him personally but the guy can coach and he really cares about his players.

Graves has always been willing to dump on his players since Sabrina left. Seems hard to believe that the cares about them when he talks about how they are spoiled, entitled, and unwilling to work hard. All of the players who transferred from OSU ended up playing worse or no better than they did while here. Most if not all of the former Duckies have ended up playing better elsewhere. Kinda makes you go hmmmmmm.....

Read some interesting comments on "X" regarding the ducks disaster, highlighted by fan boy Priem stating he wasn't sure which was worse..losing by 49, or scoring only 30?
Another quack added, maybe it was the beat writer Creapy, who said...it's not good when you can double your score and still lose by 19. LOL
Poor quacks.

I wonder if that has ever happened before for 1 team to have 3 top ten picks in the draft in the same year---Women or Men for that matter-??

That team was stacked.....and it just seemed like, at the time, the Nike machine would keep rollin. One has to wonder if graves just isn't that great of a coach......cuz I don't think it's difficult to recruit to hole.

Stopped the schmucks dead in their tracks that year. No Natty for you, bozos!

Yeah but it's a split Championship, because South Carolina fans have also been claiming that Title, maybe Baylor's as well.

Aliyah Boston is pretty close to God's gift to womens' basketball. Anyway both of those other teams have plenty of fans who absolutely insist they would've won the Championship if there would've been a Tournament. South Carolina even went ahead and hung a banner...for being ranked #1 in the final regular season poll. I'm not kidding, they did.
I know, we all love to hate on the Ducks here, but they aren't even close to being alone when it comes to kooky fans.
