James Crepea of the Oregonian said that Dana Altman probably blistered paint off the walls with his postgame chat with his team after they lost 97-80 to San Diego State at the Players Era Festival in Las Vegas Tuesday night.
For the second game in a row the Ducks committed 18 turnovers, falling to 4-2 a night after losing to No. 21 Auburn on Monday 84-73.
Some glaring issues have surfaced. The Ducks started well with Jackson Shelstad nailing four three-pointers, tied 15-15 at the 12-minute mark. They settled down nicely, shaking off five quick turnovers to start the game.
