If I'm Ernie Kent I better take a close look at myself in the mirror. Because right now he and his team are close to unwatchable.

I was at the Chiles Center and watched as Michael Holton not only outcoached Ernie and the Ducks, but the Pilots backcourt tandem of Darren Cooper and Pooh Jeter stole the show.

I'm a huge fan of Michael Holton's. There isn't a classier coach in the northwest. He not only coaches his players well, but he teaches them how to be men.

Back to the Ducks. In the days of Luke Ridnour, Luke Jakson, and Freddie Jones the Ducks were a fun team to watch. They could play poorly and still score 85 points. This year's group doesn't have anyone besides maybe Malik Hairston and Aaron Brooks that I would pay to watch.

What's worse is the whining that Ernie and Jerry Allen were doing on the post game show. C'mon no one wants to hear coaches and broadcasters complain about the officiating. Funny how coaches who win games don't say a thing about the refs.

A 6-5 Oregon basketball team for a group of players that were supposed to learn from last year and also improve from last season.

So far nothing has changed.
