Victor Bailey Jr.'s surprise performance leads Oregon Ducks into 2nd round of NIT

EUGENE -- Dana Altman sat between a pair of freshmen, smiled and wondered aloud where this had been all season.

To his right sat Kenny Wooten, the two-game star of the Pac-12 tournament. His 12 points, 10 rebounds and 3 blocks weren't especially shocking, but they were crucial and Altman was happy with the way his big man cleaned up the glass on the defensive end.

To his left was Oregon's first surprise of the tournament they didn't want to play in. A few days after the disappointment of failing to reach the NCAA Tournament, Altman wanted his team to regroup.
