Definitely, Ducks took the first one at Pauley. After the loss to Stanford the Ducks dropped from #6 to #9. UCLA jumped to 8, and now are at 7. The third release of the official Women's Bracket is scheduled for earlier on the 19th.

Hopefully the lady Ducks can get this one and give themselves a real shot at an outright Pac-12 title. Going to be a tough game if the team (outside of Ruthy) can't shoot the ball better than they have lately and play some defense.

The key to the game, I think, will be turnovers. The Ducks had 24 against USC that the Trojans turned in to 31 points. Ionescu practically had another triple double, 15 points, 9 assists, 8 turnovers, that she can't repeat. Sabally was a non-factor against USC, 0 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists, 2 turnovers in 15 minutes. It also will be the final regular season home game for seniors, Justine Hall and Lexi Bando.

What was the issue with Satou? Sick, bad day, fouls, aggressive D?

I think she's starting to hit the FR wall a bit.

I think she may have "hit the freshman wall" Her energy (with some exceptions), shooting and decision making has appeared tired to me the past few games. While her bounce-passing has always seemed ill-timed/executed to me, lately it has seemed a sure turnover whenever see is passing into a congested area.

I love her athleticism and I'm sure she'll bounce back, hopefully before tournament time. Next year for the entire team should be even better. Our ability to create defensive stops need to grow if we're going to beat the top teams however.

57-41 Ducks at halftime. Ruthy set the record but lost her streak at 33. Cazorla leads with 17 and it's been a great half shooting obviously.

78-71 Ducks after 3. The Bruin pressure on Defense led to turnovers and seemed to take them out of rhythm.

Oregon has played no defense in the second half. Their Achilles heal.
