Coming off of a blowout win in Alaska, the Oregon Women's Basketball team hoped to carry that momentum back to Matthew Knight in their home-opener against Syracuse. Though it was not pretty, the Ducks won 75-73. The Ducks started the game strong, taking the early lead and keeping it throughout the opening quarter. They took a double-digit lead into the second quarter after Sabrina Ionescu (24 points, 10 rebounds) and Erin Boley (13 points, 5-19 FG) combined for 11 of Oregon's 20 points. The Orange - who switched the defense to a 2-3 zone - opened the second quarter with a mini-run, scoring on their first three baskets to cut the lead by six, 22-16. Ionescu and Maite Cazorla then took the game in their own hands, each scoring on four of Oregon's next five possessions to bring the Duck-lead back to 15, 31-16. After Syracuse converted a few Oregon-turnovers, the lead was cut to just six by halftime. The second half saw both teams' play decline. After shooting 50% in the first… Read More

The Oregon Ducks took down the Eastern Washington Eagles in their first game of the 2K Empire Classic in emphatic fashion, winning it 81-47. The Ducks were able to get this margin of victory in large part because of a 21-0 run in the first half, leading them to a 21-6 lead. Also, the Eagles shooting woes from their first game against Syracuse followed them into tonight, especially the first half, as the team shot 4-24 from three-point range and 5-34 from the field. Their percentage did improve in the second half though, as the Eagles shot 42.9% from three, but it wasn't enough as the Ducks shot an impressive 58.3% from three to increase their lead. The intangibles were also major factors in this game, as the Ducks used their height advantage to outscore their opponents 30-2 in the paint and out-rebound the Eagles 50-34. The Ducks improve to 1-1 on the season and 1-0 in the tournament, as their next matchup will be in New York on Thursday versus Iowa. For Eastern Washington, the Eagles… Read More
