Are the Ducks Good Enough?

Can Oregon beat Buddy Hield and Oklahoma?

How in the hell would I know...

The Sooners are certainly the best team the Ducks will have played this season, which is the way it's supposed to work as 1 and 2 seeds square off.

Hield will get his points, so the question becomes can Oregon stop the role players that surround the gunner from Norman.

Hield is fast and excels at running to an open spot and producing a catch and shoot play.  From anywhere on the floor.  He can also drive to the rim to finish on his own, and he's a good passer.  In short, he can do it all.

But it is his range as a shooter with a quick release that makes him so impressive.

Oregon doesn't have a player with comparable skills, though Dillon Brooks can take over a game--just not as readily and consistently as Hield does it.

Should be a helluva game as long as Oregon plays as a balanced team.
