UConn will be without both Bueckers (knee) and Christyn Williams (COVID) today.

After UConn started game on a 10-0 run, Oregon has outscored them 26-6 in the last quarter plus. Certainly helps that UConn is missing a lot of their top players though.

Sedona is just killing UConn in the mid-range and down low, with 12 points in the 2nd quarter. Oregon goes into half leading 39-24. UConn's lack of players (they've only played 6 compared to Oregon's 10) is really showing.

Only downer note was Sabally going down with an injury. She's got an ice bag on her right knee but otherwise smiling on the bench.

Strong defense and good killer instinct thru the first 3 quarters (I'll watch the 4th quarter later.) So yeah U-C was short some star players but the win will still help for NCAA seeding and rankings.
I also wont cry too much for U-Conn. Of the 6 players they played, 4 of them were Top 5 in their recruiting class and the other 2 were big time transfers. Four players ranked higher than anyone on the Ducks.

It sounds like there is some optimism that Nyara's injury was more of a scare than anything serious. I guess we will see over the next couple weeks how much she is able to play, and how she looks if she does. The ceiling is high for this team if they can actually stay healthy.

This has happened 3-4 times before with her. I think she is terrified another injury will happen, perhaps a career ender. So whenever an injury happens, even if it is minor, she gets very emotional and upset. It is scary for the fans, and but terrifying for her. Hope she is fine and will be playing again soon. So much ability, and like her sister, she can do things very few people can at her size.

I thought Oregon came out timid but quickly turned up the pressure and went on that terrific run. Their defense caused UConn to shoot poorly and to be honest they looked pretty soft to me. The Ducks played hard and well. Bummer about Nyarra but she looked just fine after the game shaking the opponents hands. Seem Kelly is finally able to play players where they need to be and this team will be tough to handle in March adding anymore fluky injuries.
Go DUCKS!!!
