It all comes down to the final weekend to crown a Pac-12 basketball regular season champion. Oregon has led the way the entire year, sparked by victories over the UCLA Bruins and Arizona Wildcats. UCLA stands tied with Oregon for first place in the conference with a 12-4 record, but losses by both teams during the final week of play …
Ducks Bounce Back with 9-1 Victory at Fullerton
Oregon was due for a day like this. After being dominated by the Fullerton pitching staff in the first two games of the series, the Oregon offense kicked into overdrive as the Ducks (8-3) salvaged game three of their series with Cal State Fullerton (10-1) 9-1. Cole Irvin was also dominant, limiting the deadly Fullerton offense to just one run. …
PLUNKING THE PANTHERS: DUCKS DETERMINING LAST FOUR SECONDS
The Women’s Lacrosse team stepped back out on Papé Field this Saturday, looking to continue their seven home game streak. Their East Coast opponent, the High Point Panthers, return to battle again this season after a 13-10 win over the Ducks last year. Last season’s match against the Panthers marked the only contest against the Big South Conference in Oregon …
Titans Thump Ducks Again
Yesterday brought the same opponent, same result for Oregon in the second game of their series with Cal State Fullerton. After allowing a three run home run in the first inning, the Oregon offense found itself in another sticky situation it simply could not overcome as CSUF (10-0) topped Oregon (7-3) 5-2. Tommy Thorpe (2-1) might have had a bumpy …
Notes from around the college football nation: Les Miles leaving LSU and Spring football is almost here
Good news: spring football is almost upon us! We can now get a sneak peak at what to expect for the fall from our favorite teams. A lot of the nation will be paying attention to certain schools to see how new coaches are with their team along with incoming freshmen possibly making an impact. Alabama should still be loaded …
Mental lift from Artis return is the key
The stats were not overwhelming, and they may not be for the rest of the year. Six points in 12 minutes won’t blow your hair back . However, the return of freshman point guard Dominic Artis did do one thing for the Oregon Duck basketball team Thursday night, and that one thing may be the key to post-season success: He …
Ducks Lay An Egg In Series Opener At Fullerton
The fears that amassed in the LMU series really came around Friday night when Oregon opened its series at Cal State Fullerton. The Ducks (7-2) seemed to be settling into a pitchers duel when the Oregon defense, and pitching staff fell apart at the seams in the middle innings. Fullerton pushed across three runs in the fifth, and four more …
Ducks MVP? A matter of numbers
I was thinking this week that I would come up with my own player efficiency rating for our basketball team. I have not done any research in regards to anyone else’s equations, so if mine is similar to something you have seen before, know that I have not copied anyone. This is the equation I have decided on that best …
Thank God That’s Over!
February has to be the month that contains the highest suckiness quotient of the other 12 months combined. For one thing football, in all of its incarnations, is over. And to make matters worse, we are all tired of being cold and wet. That “nip in the air” that was so refreshing Sept. 23rd has been just plain …
Seniors Rally Ducks Past Beavers, Reclaim Pac-12 Lead
After freshman Dominic Artis bounced in a three-pointer to break a 52-52 tie with 11:31 left in Thursday’s Civil War at Matthew Knight Arena, Oregon’s four seniors scored 29 of the final 30 points of the game as the Ducks roared past Oregon State, 85-75, and reclaimed sole possession of first place in the Pac-12 race with two games remaining. …
Behind the Curtain: Inside the Press Box
With FishDuck adding coverage to more sports each season, I frequently get asked the question, “What’s it like to be in the press box?” I could say, “Look on the internet”, except for one problem: there isn’t much of an answer. The question is, why isn’t much written on the topic? More than likely, anyone in a position to write …
Oregon’s Pitchers Mow Down Portland 3-1
Midweek games usually showcase extended relief outings, with mediocre pitching and uninspired offense – unless you have a pitching staff like Oregon’s. The #6 Ducks were pressed to find a fourth starter for their Tuesday night matchup with Portland at PK Park, especially since typical fourth-starter Jeff Gold’s last appearance ended when a comebacker drilled him in the ankle. Head Coach …
