We had to earn it tonight, which is good to see considering it's only going to get tougher from here. We took down Stanford 66-59 earlier tonight, and led by Aaron Brooks' 19-point 10-rebound double-double, we moved to 17-1, something we haven't done since the 1926-27 season. We have a ways to go to top that though, because that team went a school record 24-1 before losing it's last 3 games. Ernie Kent also did something tonight that he had never done: beat Stanford with a player on the current roster. No Duck on the team now has ever beat Stanford, which was a 7-game streak. That streak ended tonight though, and the Ducks are one of only 6 one-loss teams in the top 25 as of 8:00 tonight, and we hope to stay that way against Cal on Saturday. GO DUCKS!
Watched on TV. Every game is going to get harder and harder, as everyone always guns for the top teams, and the PAC-10 is unbelievably competitive this year. Aaron Brooks is a true "go-to" guy! I was very impressed, again. Really enjoyed the Arizona game last week.
ReplyDeleteWere you at Mac Court? I looked for your bouncing head but could not spot it.

Yeah, your Ducks might do well it that weak ass Pac 10, but could they handle the mighty Redhawks of Seattle University, a Division 2 school? Methinks the answer is a resounding no.
ReplyDeleteTo Dad: No, I was not at the game. I almost like watching them at home rather than dealing with all the craziness at Mac. The atmosphere just isn't as attractive as it was 2 years ago.
ReplyDeleteTo Zach: All I have to say is I hope we don't see the Redhawks in the NCAA tourney, or else we're in trouble. As far as the Pac-10 goes, we are doing better in the overall rankings than the Pac-10 rankings. At 17-1, we just hit the top of the Pac-10 tonight. Rough.
No worries then my friend. We mighty D2 schools get our own tournament. I think it's called March Mildness. It's awesome, like 4 teams play a couple games, and then afterword have a scholastic debate to determine the true winner.
