Oregon Ducks sit 15th in the Big Ten following Dana Altman's retirement as the winningest coach in program history with 382 victories. This episode analyzes the impact of losing nine NCAA tournament berths worth of leadership and projects a difficult 2026-27 season.

Hosts discuss the loss of top portal transfer Milan Momcilovic to Kentucky, NCAA eligibility rulings affecting roster depth, and the challenge of competing against established powers like Purdue and Ohio State without clear top-tier recruiting commitments.

Key topics include the uncertainty surrounding the new head coach's system, the strategic implications of being ranked 15th in a deep conference, and realistic win projections suggesting a single-digit record and no tournament berth for the upcoming campaign.

In this episode: Big Ten Power Rankings & Altman Legacy · Strengths, Weaknesses & Portal Moves · Season Outlook & Win Projection.
