EUGENE - You get so used to seeing Oregon coach Dana Altman work his magic, it's stunning when it when it doesn't happen.
And it didn't happen Thursday night in Matthew Knight Arena.
The Oregon Ducks fell to USC 75-70 in a ragged Pac-12 game that calls into question where this team will go in the postseason.
The Ducks are 12-7, 2-4 in the Pac-12 and in danger of losing sight of the top of conference.
They fell to USC (14-6, 5-2) when they couldn't hang onto a lead or the momentum in the game's final five minutes.
