The good news: we’ve had sightings of that blue stuff up in the sky the last few days.

The bad news: the temperature of the Oregon men’s basketball team has seemingly swung in the opposite direction.

Tyson and Shane check in after UO’s 0-2 road trip through the mountain schools, preview this weekend’s series against the Arizona schools, discuss Tyson’s trip to a Rip City Remix game and dive into the latest episode of True Detective.

Then as a bonus: we head down to Eugene for basketball availability and welcome on Will Patterson. Patterson, UO MBB’s director of communications, is an Arkansas native who came to Oregon after seven years with the Los Angeles Lakers. He shares with us a few stories of his time working around Kobe and LeBron, and why he chose to leave Hollywood for the woods.
