Dana Altman has the 10th-ranked Ducks playing some of their best November/December basketball in the history of his tenure, and in the entire history of the Oregon basketball program, too.
It’s not even 2020 yet, and the Ducks have already toppled four teams ranked in the Top 40 by KenPom (#18 Michigan, #23 Seton Hall, #29 Memphis, and #38 Houston). With quality wins like that, their tournament resume is beginning to take shape.
The only two blemishes on the Ducks’ record came in the Bahamas in tournament-caliber games with a 71-70 loss against AP #2 Gonzaga in overtime, and another heartbreaking defeat at the hands of a once-good UNC team (they had Cole Anthony at the time, we swear).
