A second player, not as big of a star as Darren Carrington but still a valuable member of the team, was left home when Oregon traveled to Dallas yesterday for Monday night's NCG.
The team's many injuries have not been a distraction because they are a part of the game, unfortunate but accepted to a degree. Bad luck happens.
Losing players to the NCAA's drug screening program is another story. This has to be affecting the players' mentality and preparation for the game.
I would guess they're all over the map on this in terms of their feelings. It can't help but diminish their focus.
Pot on any campus is not a surprise any more, if it ever was. Particularly at Oregon, a bastion of liberalism if one ever existed.
