Oregon basketball is still a nightmare to play. It still has guys who defend laterally until you get past them, and then others who are just as quick and long and bouncy who go horizontal.

The Broncos defeat San Jose State 76-67 and will try to win their first conference title since claiming the Western Athletic Conference championship in 2007. They will face New Mexico, a 64-53 winner over Fresno State.
Chris Wood was sensational on Wednesday. The sophomore forward, who may be playing his final games with the program, clearly wants to continue the season.
