HARDWOOD CIVIL WAR by ST

Nice to see the faithful getting jazzed about Sunday night's Civil War at Mac Court. The sweep at the Washington schools certainly put Oregon men's hoops back near the front of people's minds. OSU presents an interesting case. They're certainly experienced with most of their contributors either juniors or seniors. I'm really impressed with the Duck depth. Certainly they have their high level guys in key places like Malcolm Armstead running the show & a nice inside force named Dunnigan. They'll go as far as the supporting cast will take them and it seems like they have a guy to fill out the needed checklist. Tajuan Porter is the zone busting terror from outside, E.J Singler is a forward who helps break the press and is an excellent passer. Jamil Wilson appears to be that long defender who can disrupt passing lanes. Each guy seems to bring a critical aspect of basketball to the table. As it's the last season of Mac Court we've been hearing about retired numbers, honorary captains and all the elements that go with this kind of sendoff.
With that in mind, to get in the drawing for a pair of tickets to Sunday night's game, 7:30 tip off from the Pit, e-mail me the following at stevetannen@live.com
Give me your all time Oregon Men's basketball starting 5. I'll give you lot's of leeway. We will have the drawing in the 5 o'clock hour on Thursday & give away 3 pair of tickets. Good luck!

Yes, Sunday's Ducks vs. Beavs b'ball matchup is going to be grrreat, especially with Coach Ernie's crew looking much improved over last season's dismal performance. I like that Singler kid (from Medford) playing for the Ducks. He's a nice addition to the dynamic balance of the team. I also like him in that, unlike his older brother a couple years ago, he did not flee the West coast for an East Coast team. (The older Singler kid, Kyle, signed with Duke, remember?)
