I loved when Bittle said: "No, nah, ah! It ain't happenin! Not on my watch." And just decided to win the game. Started dominating on the offense, hitting 3s, dominating on the D, blocks, rebounds, OSU players running away after seeing him under the basket. He was huge!
I don't recall that Oregon has ever had a team like this. We have up to 6 players that could gravitate opponents D, and draw attention of multiple defenders. If only multiple of them became consistently good for the longer duration of the game, this team could win it all. It's just weird that we can't get more than 2 of them turning on at the same time, and it's almost never the whole game, but mostly toward the end of the game when we really need it. But this much talent... I don't recall Oregon every having this. But Bittle and Shelstad have become most consistent. But even them 2 have a huge room to improve consistency. IMO, we need to find a better way to push the ball into the post to Bittle. We don't do this effectively just yet... But I feel like we are getting better. Working off of him in the post would open so many things for Oregon.

Yes he was--total beast. Shelstad also said "I'm like that" after his big 3
@@LockedOnOregonDucks Breaking ankles and hitting 3's, almost bored.
