Oregon an "It Team" according to ESPN

[RockawayHoya]

Bilas and Katz both have Oregon as an "it team" which are bringing the real buzz this year, as so they say. I agree, these guys are going to give us a handful, and we'll do very well to get a win out there.

I cannot think of a match-up better than Oregon-Georgetown. All of their talent is in the backcourt and all of ours is in the frontcourt. The key for the Hoyas is to contain their guards in the backcourt and control the tempo.

This is going to be a great game and I can't wait to head to Eugene.

As a lifelong University of Washington fan, may I say that my hatred for the University of Oregon knows no bounds, and as soon as the Hoyas can take the (drunken) crowd at MacArthur out of the game, they should be able to come out of Eugene with a win.

By the way, I hate Eugene too.

as a fellow dawg fan, i must say that there is no tougher place to play for both basketball andfootball... the hoyas will have their hands full, but it will be a good test especially in prep for 'nova's backcourt.
