Another common thought entering the tournament was that Oregon might not get far without injured forward Chris Boucher.
Troy Brown subscribed to that one. And he’s an Oregon signee.
“I believed in them but at the same time, he’s such a big factor that I didn’t know how their bigs would adjust,” said Brown, a McDonald’s All-American forward from Las Vegas. “But their guards have been stepping it up. Tyler (Dorsey) has been doing great, Kavell (Bigby-Williams) is coming off (the bench) really good and Jordan Bell is really stepping it up.”
Brown said he's been happy to see it play out.
“It’s been a great year seeing them having the success they’re having after I committed,” Brown said. “Seeing coach (Dana) Altman have everything going his way this year is just really good for the program.”
