The Oregon Ducks were given a poor seed to begin the 2013 NCAA Tournament. That did not slow down coach Dana Altman's team though, cruising to blowout victories over Oklahoma State and St. Louis. Now, Oregon is headed to the Sweet 16.
Oregon Ducks celebrate NCAA Tournament win over St. Louis (VIDEO)
The Ducks are flying high after knocking off St. Louis. The team released a video of their locker room following Saturday’s big win.
Following their 17-point win over St. Louis on Saturday night, the UO athletic department gave fans a chance to get a glimpse of the scene inside the locker room.
Perhaps the best quote of the segment? Here is what coach Altman had to say of his team’s performance.
“There’s going to be 16 teams playing tomorrow out of 347. And you are one of those teams.”
In addition to the team and coaching staff, Nike founder Phil Knight also makes an appearance in the video. No word on whether or not he will have commemorative Sweet 16 jerseys made to celebrate the win.
The challenge now becomes much greater for UO. After having a couple of days to rest and recover, the NCAA Tournament’s top-seeded team, Louisville, awaits them in Indianapolis. Oregon will enter as the underdogs once again, but if this past week is any indication, that may not be the worst thing.
