I suspected Oregon would have big trouble with Buddy Hield, an absolutely dominant college player who is NBA ready now.
He dropped 37 on the Ducks' heads today.
Outside of Elgin Cook, Oregon had no answers, turned the ball over too many times in the first half, missed wide-open shots, and didn't rebound.
Oregon needs a point guard who can create his own shot, and may have one coming in next year, a kid out of West Linn High who has led his team to four straight Oregon 6A titles.
The kid, Payton Pritchard, was once committed to, guess who--Oklahoma--before changing his mind and deciding to stay closer to home.
With Oregon's other returning players, the Ducks might be pretty good again next season.
