Roundup: Ducks make their move

Feb 25, 2014

Oregon

Rob Moseley writes that with Oregon men’s basketball on the bubble, the Ducks can “go out and take it” this week at the L.A. schools.

Stanford

Not surprisingly, Josh Huestis was named Pac-12 Player of the Week for his efforts against USC and UCLA Thursday and Saturday, respectively. May I suggest that you read this lengthy feature on Huestis’ heroics from his hometown newspaper (Great Falls Tribune)?

Utah
