 Dana Altman Status Report:     After last nights loss to UCLA and a 1-1 tour through the LA schools, the Oregon Ducks continue their turbulent season. Sitting at 2nd place behind Arizona in the lame duck Pac-12, Dana Altman has really squeezed the most out of an injured, sloppy, and young group of Ducks. Through varying degrees of health the Ducks have stayed competitive in every game since the nasty loss to Syracuse in December.

Though Arizona gained control early, veteran play from Jermaine Couisnard kept the Ducks within striking distance till the final buzzer.

 There you have it, the Big Ten is out of the NCAA tournament on the first day of the sweet 16 after Kansas State beats Michigan State. Live by the corn, die by the corn. The reality is these guys are stuck playing archaic basketball and when they play a team that can either shoot 3's or speed up the game, they lose. The Big Ten doesn't stink, it's just that their best team is nowhere near the cream of the crop, aha, in the country. Essentially, they are all 8-10 seeds (Except for you Minnesota, you guys suck) who play each other and the ones that win the most gets a top 3 seed in the NCAA tourney every damn year and i'm sick of it. Shame on you Big Ten, and shame on you Purdue. Things will never change until you turn off that fucking Hoosiers movie. There's bigger fish to fry than Jimmy Chitwood.
