BigDucksFan No. 3 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Should be a even matchup which makes for a great game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest No. 4 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Women have had to come out scrappy the last 3 games and several of the newbs have gotten valuable minutes, particularly in the Cal game. I'd expect a hard played, frenetic, and close first half unless one team is hot from 3 and the other isn't. Second half I like the Ducks quality depth to allow them to pull away for a little breathing space, but not more than around 10 points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
30Duck Moderator No. 5 Share Posted January 13, 2021 With a completely different Oregon team it doesn't matter what happened between Arizona & Oregon last season. One point of comparison: Stanford 70 Oregon 63 Stanford 81 Arizona 54 @ Arizona Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanford guards Wilson & Williams overplayed her outside, knowing their excellent bigs were prepared to help on drives to the basket. Tara & crew drew up and executed an excellent game plan. Without a healthy Prince I'm not sure our gals are prepared to execute a similar plan, at least not at this point of the season. It will be fun to see what Graves et al. come up with for this important matchup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recently Paopao has started with Mikesell, but Graves has experimented with subbing her out fairly early to work in Chavez & Shelly who can both do some point work. That way Paopao can get time with both lines and hold them together with elite point guard play. Very clever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Graves goes about paring the rotation, I could see her minutes being reduced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
