Oregon is about a 7 point favorite today and the over/under is about 158.

By score prediction: Oregon 87 - St. Joe's 78

Anybody out there willing to throw some numbers around?

Oregon comments

St. Joe's comments

Both guys should have gotten the top awards, POY and ROY. Poetle or however you spell it hasn't showed up for a couple of weeks, and both guys play on a balanced team. I was happy Cook got 1st team All P12, but the other guys deserved the top hardware.

Devon Allen ran a 20.79 200m, Ishewawa!

Congratulations to DSA's R2Fire's nephew., Cody Danielson went 251-9 in the Javelin in his first meet as a Duck! R2Fire, your nephew is a stud!

Speaking of studs, and a nice guys, Big Greg Skipper is off to a good start in the hammer throw.

Greg Skipper is from Oregon City. Cody Danielson is from Newberg.

Well guys, Utah took a beat down from opening buzzer, to the very end. Six teams out before the first weekend is even over. Ducks holding up the PAC 12 banner all by themselves, Ducks have a very difficult game against St. Joseph tomorrow, but I believe the Ducks are on a mission, go Ducks!

TUCSON, Ariz. – The Oregon track and field team earned a few more win during the second day of the Willie Williams Classic on Saturday as the Ducks got some early-season work under their belts as well as the first taste of the outdoor season.

Devon Allen finished off what was a great weekend for the dual-sport star. After winning the 200 on Friday, Allen handily won the 110 hurdles on Saturday, running 13.40 into a headwind. He then finished the day by winning the open 100 in a time of 10.36 which ranks 10th on the Oregon all-time list.

The women’s 4x100 team got off to a fast start on Saturday, winning in 43.31. The team of Jasmine Todd, Deajah Stevens, Hannah Cunliffe and Ariana Washington are now tied for second in school history, only four hundredths of a second off the school record. The men’s 4x100 team of Nate Moore, Travonn White, Ben Thiel and Marcus Chambers also finished first, with a time of 40.18.

A pair of middle-distance specialists picked up two more wins for the women’s team. Annie Leblanc added to her victory last night in the 1,500 by winning the 800 on Saturday in 2:04.38. Raevyn Rogers moved down to the 400 where she ran the fifth fastest time in school history (52.30). Rogers was joined by Ashante Horsley who took third in 54.22.

Sophomore Cole Walsh finished on top in the men’s pole vault, clearing 16-4.75 (5.00m).

At the IAAF World Championships, former Ducks Laura Roesler advanced through the women’s 800 semifinals. She will run in the final on Sunday, as will Matthew Centrowitz, who qualified through in the men’s 1,500.

The Ducks will take a break from competition next weekend but will host the second annual Fan Fest at Hayward Field, Saturday, March 26.

Here are some extensive notes on today's matchup in the second round of the NCAA's. Can the Ducks carry the weight of the league?

This week's Rivals Camp is in Texas, another hotbed for Oregon recruiting. Should have some interviews coming out from there over the next two days. Here are some live updates from Rivals staff.

Lone Star RCS updates

If all this is true it is very interesting how badly Chip wanted Marcus.

Chip Kelly apparently could have done even more damage to the Eagles last offseason.


That is, unless you believe Marcus Mariota is on his way to becoming a true superstar in the NFL.


On the radio with Colin Cowherd earlier this week, Fox Sports NFL insider Peter Schrager gave the specifics of the trade offer Kelly made to the Titans to move up to the No. 2 pick in last year's draft to select Mariota.


Per Schrager, the Eagles offered the Titans their 2015 first- and second-round picks, their 2016 first-round pick, any quarterback on their roster and any defensive player on their roster in exchange for the No. 2 overall pick. (H/t to Philly Sports Network for finding the interview.) And the way Schrager stated it was not "any one defensive player," it was "anyone" on defense, which could have even meant multiple pieces.


That is utterly insane. Not that the Titans would have necessarily selected the players the Eagles took with those two picks last year, but that trade offer could have meant Sam Bradford, Fletcher Cox, Nelson Agholor, Eric Rowe and this year's first-rounder for Mariota.

The game kind of spoke for itself but players and coaches from both sides answered questions afterwards anyway.

Wins the Gold Medal in the Pentathlon at the Indoor World Championships in Portland!

Being world champions is now a family affair in the Eaton household.

About an hour to go before tipoff and DSA is down on the court now ready to start shooting the action.

For these first two games (not to jinx things) in Spokane it will be Tom Corno covering for DSA with photos and video. I was not able to go this weekend because of a dislocated rib I am suffering through.

So Tom will be shooting the game and then the post-game stuff both today and Sunday. Expect some great images from him. I'll be joining everybody else watching on the big screen for the first two rounds then plan to be in Anaheim for the Sweet 16 and Elite 8, assuming all goes well.

Let's go, Ducks.

According to SportsLine. Personally I would like to see a little more precision out of them but hey, if they can't predict to the 1,000th of a percent like we can, I understand.

Category
4% Chance of Winning 96%
0-1 vs Top 25 7-1
1-1 vs NCAA 12-3
14-18 vs Non-NCAA 15-3
1-1 vs Common Opponents 1-0

I expect quite a bit of content to come out from this weekend in LA though due to traveling back home tomorrow it may take until Monday to really crank it out. Here is one of the first Duck-related interviews to emerge.

Adam takes a stab at predicting the picks of some of the top players at RCS LA including a number of Duck targets.

RCS LA: Predicitions

Two weeks ago the Ducks were not in the Top 15 for Georgia ATH DeeJay Dallas. Now with an offer they have moved into his Top 5.

I'm prone to enjoy what you got while you got it, but if Boucher gets another year, and Brooks and Dorsey return (which they should, imo) look out. Pritchard and Cage should be early contributors. Whether they are as good as Cook and Benjamen off the get go...I doubt it. But if the other guys continue to improve, we could see another really good team. Problem is, UCLA and AZ had great recruiting classes. Anyway, it looks like the ducks are here to stay.

Sounds like we are in strong running for a great OL class.I guess I can see the attraction to UW for some local players, BUT it's been a long time since they beat Oregon. With Kelly already in the class, maybe he helps land this elite group of OT's..
