Oregon Ducks Fail Short Of Elite Eight: What Went Right And What Went Wrong
The game was by no means a cakewalk. Louisville was the Big East champion, the number one overall seed in the tournament, and a favorite to win it all. However, these were the Ducks with chips the size of steamrollers on their shoulders, a team that might have finished in the top five in the nation were it not for an injury to talented freshman Dominic Artis. Oklahoma State...
Dominic Artis Is A Crucial Piece For Oregon
Just by looking at the stat sheet, it’s hard to get a feel for just how important freshman guard Dominic Artis is to the Oregon Ducks.
On the year, Artis is averaging 8.4 points, 3.3 assists and is shooting just 33% from the field. The numbers show that he is a solid contributor for Dana Altman’s team, but not much more.
Artis, a 6-foot-1 point guard, has missed nine games this...
Duck Struck: With Artis back, Ducks in Sweet 16
Excuse Oklahoma State and Saint Louis if they cry, “FOWL!” The Oregon Ducks, a 12 seed? a 12-seed? Outrage! This issue was clear with coach Dana Altman who sympathized with the plight of opening round foe Oklahoma State. The Cowboys had to feel like they were playing blackjack minus aces and face cards when the pairings were announced.
Oregon coach Dana Altman is going...

Point guard injury disrupts Ducks' smooth ride
