It has been almost a Jekel & Hyde situation for Oregon Men’s Basketball early in this season. In its first two games, the Ducks dominated two solid teams at home, one an NCAA Tournament participant from the previous year.
Then came the Moda Center Massacre as they were completely obliterated by BYU in Portland.
To start the Maui Jim Invitational in beautiful Mau...er, Las Vegas, Oregon appeared to have put the lopsided loss behind them as they blew out Chamindae.
But suddenly, they reverted from the oppressor back to the oppressed in a 62-50 loss to Saint Mary’s in which Oregon’s offense became stagnant and ice cold from the perimeter.
