The dejection Dana Altman experienced this spring is nowhere to be seen as the 2022-23 season approaches for the Oregon men's basketball team.
Altman and the Ducks left Friday for Montreal, where they open a five-game exhibition slate against Canadian teams at McGill University on Sunday. Three months after a deflating loss in the NIT that brought to a close a roller-coaster 2021-22 season, Altman has been rejuvenated by an offseason of improvement for the Ducks.
The roster has been infused with veteran experience by Keeshawn Barthelemy and Jermaine Couisnard, and with young talent in freshman Kel'el Ware and JC transfer Brennan Rigsby.
