SEATTLE (AP) — Basketball coaches sometimes have skewed perspectives. Oregon coach Kelly Graves illustrated this Saturday after his No. 7 Ducks showed a little toughness in a 73-49 win over rival Washington.
Oregon extended the nation’s longest winning streak to 25 games and improved to 6-0 for the third straight season. But while their defense was sterling, the offense was a bit of a mess, leaving the Ducks in a bit of a mood as they left Seattle following what was effectively an easy victory.
“You know that you’ve got a pretty good team when you just beat somebody by 24 on the road and you’re disappointed by the performance,” Graves joked.
