Was it determined that BruinMarkham is at this match? I could nt find any audio/gametracker/video. Also, I've had some wonderful Markham Petite Sirah and Cabernet! |

From Oregon's website:

EUGENE, Ore. – Seventh-ranked USC fought back from a 2-1 deficit to break the hearts of the Oregon Ducks in a five-set decision Friday night at McArthur Court.
The Women of Troy (13-0, 2-0 Pac-10) won 24-30, 30-20, 25-30, 30-27 and 15-10 to hand the Ducks (10-2, 0-2) their second conference defeat in as many nights in front of a season-high crowd of 1,067.
“We were better tonight and it’s disappointing, but I’m pleased with the way we competed,” said second-year Oregon coach Jim Moore. “As long as we continue to play at the level we showed tonight, we’ll be fine.”
Oregon held the visiting national power to a .149 attack percentage and limited junior hitter Asia Kaczor – the reigning Pac-10 Player of the Week – to a .107 clip.
Kaczor, a transfer from Poland via the College of Southern Idaho, still managed to tie for the team-high in kills with 17 with sophomore hitter Jessica Gysin. Both players finished with 22.0 points.
Sophomore hitter Mira Djuric posted match-highs of 19 kills and 22.5 points in the Ducks’ effort. Senior blocker Kristen Bitter finished with 10 kills and hit a match-best .346.
“It’s bittersweet,” said senior setter Heather Madison of UO’s close call. “We’re disappointed, but we know we can compete against the top teams in the Pac-10.”
USC had 25 total blocks, including 13 from junior blocker Bethany Johansen, while the Ducks recorded 11.
Both liberos put on quite a show as USC All-American senior Debora Seilhamer dug 39 balls and Oregon sophomore Katie Swoboda tallied 31. The two teams combined for 163 digs in the five-game battle.
The Ducks remain home next week and host intrastate rival Oregon State (3-8, 0-2) on Friday at 7 p.m.
QUACK TRACKS: Oregon won Game 1 for the 11th time in 12 matches this season ... the match was UO’s second straight against a top 10 opponent ... Ducks’ assistant coach Tina Johnson-Lockhart was an assistant coach under USC’s Mick Haley at Texas.

There's something about Jim Moore that just bugs me. Nothing personal, but he often seems to talk about how it's a shame that his "better" team loses. I thought I saw some similar comments from him last season. After Cal swept Oregon in Berkeley last season, I saw him walking by and paid a compliment about Mira Djuric and her killer serve. He wasn't rude, but he just downplayed her performance that night and said something about "maybe next year". I was under the impression that she was their best offensive player last season.

I don't know the entire context of your comments, but I'm reading the article, and I think I read the quote differently than you.
“We were better tonight and it’s disappointing, but I’m pleased with the way we competed,”- Coach Moore
I read it like "we played better tonight than we did last night or in prior matches" not "we were the better team tonight".

Perhaps it goes back to the time I tried to compliment him on Djuric. Most coaches would have nodded and been diplomatic, and I'd never expect that a coach would downplay the performance of a player who had a pretty good night. |

Playing devil's advocate here: if you speak with a coach after a loss, they usually are not at their best -- Especially after getting thumped.
It tends to accumulate, too. If the whole season has been tough, it gets harder and harder to maintain an even keel and bounce back.
