Ducks Free Falling!

Well my Oregon Ducks Men's basketball team seems to be free falling the second half of the Pac-10 season. After a miserable trip to the Bay Area, my future home, they are looking to right the sinking ship with 3 home games where they should go at least 2-1 to head into the Pac-10 Tournament on a better note. The Cal game seemed identical to the game in Eugene with the exception we couldn't hold onto the lead in the second half after coming back from being down in the first half. That knocked our wind out and then Stanford deflated us completely. Not sure what the issue is other then the big scoring droughts but then again they seem to have happened all year long. It was just that in the first half we did enough to pull out the wins. Maybe it's just the law of averages playing out. But there is still hope and I'll keep holding to it but if we don't get that 2-1 at least over the last 3 games of the Pac-10 regular season I may lose that hope. For Aaron Brooks' sake I hope they get the ship righted in time to make a push in the NCAAs. He deserves some time to shine in the prime time spotlight of the Big Dance!!
