The Oregon Women's Basketball team didn't need it, but Sabrina Ionescu's tenth career triple-double stole the show as the Ducks advanced past Seattle University on Friday. Ionescu ended with 19 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists as the no.2 seeded Ducks looked as comfortable as ever in their 2018 NCAA Tournament opener, cruising to 88-45 win over no. 15 seed Seattle University in front of their home crowd at Matthew Knight Arena. Oregon showed no rust after their long layoff, storming out to a 10-0 lead after forcing four turnovers in the opening minutes. The Oregon defense locked down the Redhawks in the first half on their way to a 48-16 advantage at the break. Several other Ducks got in on the fun, with starters Cazorla, Bando and Hebard all reaching double-digit points. Perhaps most important of all, the Ducks got 16 points and 6 rebounds from Oti Gildon, who led the way for the bench that totaled 31 points in the win. Oregon will next take on no. 10 seeded Minnesota on Sunday in… Read More

After a loss to the USC Trojans in the Pac-12 tournament quarterfinals, the Ducks lost out on their chance to make the NCAA tournament and had to settle for an invite in the NIT. The Ducks hosted Rider in the first round of the NIT on Tuesday night in Matthew Knight, and played from behind for most of the game, but an offensive spark by Victor Bailey Jr. and Elijah Brown led the Ducks to victory. Bailey finished the game with a career high 23 points on 7 made 3-pointers, while Elijah Brown chipped in 18 points, 10 of those coming in the fourth quarter. Also, Payton Pritchard had a solid stat line of 23 points, 6 rebounds, and 8 assists. Even though the Ducks clawed back to get the win, the Rider Broncs had answers in the paint all night long. The Broncs had 15 offensive rebounds, leading them to have 18 second chance points and help contribute to their 50 points in the paint.
