AUDIO: Next Challenge Awaits Oregon Women's Basketball at Sweet 16 in Spokane

After a dominant weekend in the First and Second Rounds of the NCAA Tournament, the Ducks are set for a Sweet 16 matchup with a team that looks awfully familiar. No. 11 Seed Central Michigan, a team that scraps and shoots threes, is the next roadblock on Oregon's 2018 path to the Final Four. The location will be familiar as well, with head coach Kelly Graves returning to his old stomping grounds of Spokane where he coached for over a decade at Gonzaga. Before departing for their weekend in Washington, the Ducks spoke with the media on Wednesday afternoon.

Oregon Women's Basketball Advances to Sweet 16 with 101-73 Win Over Minnesota

The Ducks picked up where they left off in the First Round, jumping out to a 51-36 halftime lead thanks to a monstrous half from Sabrina Ionescu. Coming off her tenth career triple-double on Friday night, the sophomore had a hand in 24 of Oregon's 30 first-quarter points and would finish the half with 22 points of her own. It was far from a solo performance, however; as the Ducks' got 12 more points from Ruthy Hebard and shot an impressive 66%, or two-thirds, of their field goal attempts in the opening half. The Golden Gophers seemed to always have an answer to hold the Ducks from completely running away with the game, shooting 47% from beyond the arc, including four three-pointers and 14 points from Destiny Pitts. The Ducks continued their dominant play in the second half, shooting 57.1%  from the field and outscoring the Golden Gophers 50-37 on their way to a 101-73 victory.
