Unless the MBB's game against Cal, at 6, only takes an hour, this game can't be on at 7. If it's possible to do, one of the games could be on Pac-12 Oregon.

The women's games will be on Pac-12 Mountain since OSU's game against Colorado is at 5 PM Thursday, which would fit with Oregon's being at 7 PM. The men's game will be on the main Pac-12 channel as well as the Bay Area and Oregon ones.

Thanks. That works logistically, but not so much for us here to see the WBB game.

Beginning of tough 3 game road trip ending with UCON there. They don't lose often there.

UCONN plays in a non-existent conference tho....people forget that...feasting on teams that wont make the tourney. This year Oregon will be far and away more-battle-tested.

If you are an Xfinity customer using the xfinity.com stream or app, all the PAC-12 channels including Pac-12 Mountain are TVGO channels.

Though not applicable to this game many Duck fans who are Xfinity customers don't realize that channel 1330 is the Oregon PAC-12 network in HD. They only use the Main Pac-12 feed on 720 and maybe try the 420 Oregon SD feed that many subscribers don't get.

UCONN is hosting 13-6 Cincinnati tonight, so will be well rested Monday.

Good points. Hope they don't play down to Utah and Colorado. Should be able to play deep into lineup in
those two. Give big 4 a little more rest than normal. No way we aren't a better team than UCONN.

Interesting that you bring up the Big 4 as I was just thinking about that. The big 3 is indisputable, but the recent trend in minutes and who is out there in crunch time, #4 might now be between Chavez and Moore with Boley and Jaz competing for 6th and 7th. In the last 4 games and particularly the big games against Stanford and OSU twice. Chavez, Boley and Moore have played almost the same minutes but Chavez has been on the court for the crunch times in all the games.

The gap of contribution between the 4-7 players is the closest it has been in the Graves era.

Chavez has been an enormous boon in conference play. Really great to see after she struggled through much of the non-conference schedule. Hopefully she can keep it rolling.

I wasn't able to see this game, just looked at the box score. Did everyone make it through the game healthy? If so, it seems like things went about as well as the Ducks could have hoped for. The big three didn't have to play huge minutes, the backup bigs were apparently healthy enough to at least get a few minutes, etc.

No apparent injuries. Whole 4th quarter was a pretty messy garbage time period with a lot of players who haven't gotten any time lately getting some minutes.

The first three quarters was just a "we'll do what we want, when we want" talent mismatch.

I agree the 4-7 are close. I was giving Moore the nod a little because of her outstanding defense and assists. But if you need scoring Chavez is becoming special. That's probably why she's in during crunch times. I hope we don't put to much pressure on her, likely being Sabrina's replacement next year. At least to me she seems the most likely.
