Oregon women's basketball is looking to "get their mojo back" as the Ducks prepare to host the first and second rounds of the NCAA Tournament this weekend. After falling to Stanford in the Pac-12 title game the week before, on Monday the Ducks were selected as the No. 2 seed in the Portland regional, meaning its road to the Final Four in Tampa, Fla. will run through the state of Oregon. Oregon will host No. 15 seed Portland State on Friday at 6 p.m., which will follow the 7-10 seed matchup between Texas and Indiana. With ESPN accidentally releasing the full bracket prior to its planned selection show later on Monday, head coach Kelly Graves spoke with the media on Tuesday morning to discuss the team's placement in the bracket. Listen below to the full interview.

Sophomore righty Robert Ahlstrom made his second career start, going four innings and allowing six earned runs, while striking out five and walking three. He got a lot of fly balls, inducing 6 flyouts, but otherwise seemed to struggle with his command high in the zone.

The bullpen seemed to struggle keeping runs off the board also, allowing 11 earned runs over the final five innings. Oregon pitching in general seemed to struggle with avoiding huge innings, allowing five runs in the third, four runs in the eighth, and six runs in the ninth.
