When you’re as efficient as Oregon is, you don’t need to push the tempo to put up big numbers. The Ducks have relied on great guard play to get themselves into this position, as they don’t have the kind of size that they had for the first half of the year when Bol Bol was in uniform. But playing last season with him on the roster but not on the court allowed Oregon to learn how to win without size working in their favor. The Ducks have instead ridden the shooting and decision-making of Payton Pritchard and his new backcourt mate Anthony Mathis to an impressive start, as the Ducks sit 5-0 with a pair of wins over Memphis and Houston, both of whom figure to challenge for the title in the American. If the Ducks have a glaring weakness, it’s on the boards, where Oregon averages just 38 rebounds per game. But when you make more than half of your shots, it doesn’t matter what kind of rebounding you do, because you’re not giving up extra possessions to your opponent when you put the ball in the basket.Scouting the Pirates:
With Villanova still struggling to figure out which pieces go where this looks like Seton Hall’s time to rise to the top of the Big East. That’s five coaches ago, as the Pirates haven’t won the Big East since 1993 when P.J. Carlesimo was still a year away from going to the NBA. To get there, the Pirates will ride Myles Powell as far as he can take them. Powell has averaged 22.6 points per game in this young season, and when he’s on, it’s hard to get a result off the Pirates.In this game, Seton Hall’s size could be critical. Oregon might not be a tall squad, but Seton Hall has plenty of height to go around. The Pirates average 5.4 blocks per game and 41 rebounds, numbers that show they know what they’re doing when it comes to grabbing the ball. If the Pirates can pound away inside, this will be a tough task for the Ducks.
