Welcome to Oregon Basketball and The Season of New, a weekly Pac-12 microsite column from Rockne Roll (@raroll). His column will focus on the various issues facing college basketball through the prism of the Oregon Ducks, a program ostensibly on the rise with top-notch facilities and coaching but still subject to many of the same problems suffered by many of the other high-major programs around the country.

Not all conference games are created equal, particularly in a conference where there’s a wide separation between best and worst. And while the Oregon Ducks have been saying that they prepare for every game [...]]]> http://rushthecourt.net/2013/01/10/oregon-basketball-and-the-season-of-new-anatomy-of-a-rivalry/feed/ 0 The Civil War: For Oregon and Oregon State, One Game Says It All http://rushthecourt.net/2013/01/07/the-civil-war-for-oregon-and-oregon-state-one-game-says-it-all/ http://rushthecourt.net/2013/01/07/the-civil-war-for-oregon-and-oregon-state-one-game-says-it-all/#comments Mon, 07 Jan 2013 16:45:18 +0000 http://rushthecourt.net/?p=85638

Everybody wants to see how their teams match up against the schools that matter, and are looking for meaningful results to hang their hopes on for the rest of the season. But as tempting as it is to judge how good your favorite squad really is, it’s still too soon to see [...]]]> http://rushthecourt.net/2013/01/07/the-civil-war-for-oregon-and-oregon-state-one-game-says-it-all/feed/ 1 Jared Cunningham: Star Standout In Down Year http://rushthecourt.net/2012/02/02/jared-cunningham-star-standout-in-down-year/ http://rushthecourt.net/2012/02/02/jared-cunningham-star-standout-in-down-year/#respond Thu, 02 Feb 2012 22:01:46 +0000 http://rushthecourt.net/?p=59089

True star players often have a way of making it obvious how good they are and how prodigious their talents are. Jared Cunningham is one of those players, and he has the market cornered in the Pac-12 this season. The Oregon State junior guard’s game against rival Oregon last Sunday clearly illustrated how Cunningham’s ability exceeds that of any other player in the conference. Despite shooting 1-for-7 in the first half against the Ducks and scoring just three points, Cunningham went off in the second half and scored 24 points and — offensively, defensively and emotionally [...]]]> http://rushthecourt.net/2012/02/02/jared-cunningham-star-standout-in-down-year/feed/ 0
