I completely believe coach Ernie Kent and Tajuan Porter when they tell us the incident where TP pretty much blew off the coaches in Saturday's blowout at Tempe is in the past. Unfortunately the troubles leading up to it are far from gone. Pick a cliche. When the money is on the table, crunch time, down the stretch, this team is having all kinds of hassles finding answers. Porter at least seems willing to pull the trigger and take the important shot. Whether it's youth, inexperience, certain guys not pulling their load isn't relevant. We've spoken frequently on SportsTalk about what a roller coaster ride this season was going to be and it appears Pac 10 wins will be infrequent unless something pretty dramatic takes place in the next few weeks. A caller yesterday made an excellent point about this not being UCLA, North Carolina or Duke. It's accurate and patience is called for. Are you prepared? I am. After making one Big Dance appearance from the early 1960's through 1999, the Ducks have made the bracket 5 of 9 years. It's a terrific accomplishment which should buy time from fans who understand how tough it's been to reach this point.
Let's give away some tickets to Thursday's game at Mac Court against them Dawgs.
Time to do your homework. With the new arena waiting in the wings, who was the current facility, McArthur Court named after? E-mail the answer to get in the Wednesday drawing. We'll announce the winner just past 5 o'clock.
