Oregon has spent February trying to overcome shaky losses on its NCAA Tournament resume and bolster its chances of securing a bid.
Coach Dana Altman and the Ducks missed a big chance to help themselves significantly in the past week, too.
“I’m not going to talk to them about that,” Altman said Saturday when asked about postseason implications. “We’ve got to get better. … look at that stuff, they know where we’re at. They know what we need to do.” The Ducks are 3-6 in Quadrant 1 games that headline any resume, with the sweep of the Bruins and a January win against the Trojans sitting at the top of the list. Oregon’s nonconference losses have come by 29 points to No. 14 Houston and by 12 to No. 23 Saint Mary’s in the Maui Invitational, by 32 to BYU in the Phil Knight Invitational and 78-70 to reigning national champion Baylor.
