What has happened to Singler. Again, poor shooting, 6 turnovers, inability to beat his man on the dribble!

Then Singler takes the last shot? A week fadeaway that is blocked? Seriously?

If Singler is our go to guy, the Ducks will not get through their first tournament game.

He's lost all confidence. To think we were ranked 10?

He isn't a guy who normally can create his own shot. Oregon really doesn't have a go to guy, they are balanced. They really miss Artis offensively because they don't have anyone who can breakdown the defense. Oregon will get better when Artis returns but they have issues. They really have overachieved so far....

Yup, if only we had Joseph this year. Too bad.

If Singer is hurt so bad then give it to someone who is healthy. THat is Altman's fault. Ernies team didn't blow games like this at the end three times in a row.

The offense was pathetic at the end of the game. Terrible play calling and it is obvious Lloyd has no confidence as he hesitated on taking the wide open three pointer with about a minute to go. It is obvious they need Artis back soon. I love Altman but I am surprised with the weak play calling at the end. It has to be frustrating for him to see the Creighton program he left ranked ahead of the Ducks.

Very bad play calling. Altman didn't even look like he was in the game. If we don't beat Utah the season is over.

If everyone is hurt then give the damn ball to Dotson or someone that is healthy. To score 47 points is not a good team at all.

My point exactly. With Artis hurt and EJ playing like crap Oregon is a CBI team at best.

This is a decent team when it's got all of it's parts. It is average AT BEST when it has to rely on some players more than others or is missing some parts.

Thanks for the 7000 fans that showed up tonight though. At least you did when the team stayed home for the night.

Springfield high school would have scored more than 47 points tonight.
I want my 53.00 dollars back!

Loyd was freaking 0 for 7! Why do u think he hesitated? He had ZERO confidence and should've been the last option. 0 pts in the last 4:35 and 4 pts in the last 7:25 by this offense. Reminds me of the Kempt/Roper show @ UCLA in 07

C'mon zub pay attention.

Colorado begged Loyd to shoot.  All he did was get the ball and dribble for a while and use up seconds on the clock....that caused whoever shot to rush it and usually miss.

The Pac 12 has decided that they want to play rough.  Call only fouls when there are at least 3 players were sprawled on the floor.

Our coaches don't play the game.  EJ was getting hammered on his last shot..He was getting hammered all game...  We hammered them too.  

We couldn't put them away and they got lucky at the end of the game.  Cannot believe the slams and putbacks didn't fall in at least once by accident.

Finally, shooting a basketball is a thing of confidence.  EJ made his first two shots.  Then missed a few. and ....  NOBODY took charge.  That is why we miss Artis.

Magic

No outside shooters and no point guard. They don't have to guard Loyd, they were sending 2 and three guys at Singler all night. He is not lthe quickest guy on the court. Having the outside threat of Artis plus his ball handling skills just opens up everything for everyone else. Thre really is not much the coach can do but keep rotating to find someone who will not be intimidated. Reminds me a lot the Trailblazers issues with no bench. Can't realy do anything unless someone steps up.

maybe you can get a collection going at the dog park to make up for your loss. EJ just started his 100th straight game for the ducks, have some respect for a guy who has given a lot to this program.

I'd like to think this is just hyperbole by Walla, but I think he was dead serious when he typed this.  Shocker.

I love the kid and am going to miss him when he's gone. Thank you EJ.

Enough with the obvious feel good comments. Everyone likes and respects the four years Singler has given to the program. He's always been 100% effort. However, the Ducks have a rare opportunity to elevate this program to a higher level this year. Better play from Singler and others is needed to achieve this goal. Six turn overs by Singler and Loyds 0-7 resulted in an embarrassing loss to a bad Colorado team that shot a lowly 36% from the field.

Higher rankings come with higher expectations for strong, clutch performances. We can expect better play from our key players. On a secondary note, you can love and miss him all you want. It really has nothing to do with the game.

No one is happy with this slide, and I think we can include the coaches and players in that. This team has few options, and that is part of the rebuilding process. We were never a top 10 team, but are good enough to be ranked, when healthy. Reading some the comments here is laughable, because , if the coach had the options posters are suggesting, we would not need to "suggest" them. It is not fun right now, but we need to remember this team still represents us, and will improve when Artis returns.
