The Ducks typically have been one of the nation’s best finishers under Dana Altman. This season, they cannot find February momentum.

Oh, and don’t forget their finish two seasons ago, after so much COVID chaos, when the Ducks blasted through the stretch run with a 10-1 mark. This month has not been overly kind, either — and the Ducks are on the wrong side of the NCAA Tournament bubble as a result.
