their starting 5 is very strong. In comparing theirs with ours, the only guys I could see potentially starting for the Ducks are Bilodeau, Dailey and Johnson, and that could be a push. Nate Biddle is healthy and stronger, showing why he was a top recruit, Shelstad is one of the best PG’s in the Big 10, and Bamba is a beast—I recall CMC wanted him last year before he transferred to Villanova. I thought their weakness was their bench but the Colorado transfer showed up last night and a couple of other bench guys played ok. I think our game in a week in Eugene is going to be a very tough out, particularly against a top flight coach in a very tough environment.
