widgeon No. 1 Share Posted November 9, 2022 I watched the PAC12 Oregon streaming of the Oregon-Northwestern women's basketball game. The play-by-play and color announcer (Bev Smith) were great--BUT BUT BUT. Someone decided to show full screen messages like "Great Shot" during the game. This pretty much always meant the viewer missed live action. Injudicious use of replays also meant missing live action (this was a big problem last year as well.) People tune in to see the game--the whole game. Missing live action, particularly for the silly graphics, is irritating and this problem needs to be corrected. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pennsylvania Duck Moderator No. 5 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Ducks now last team within NCAA Tournament field in latest ESPN projection It's too early to say if Oregon's done enough to reach this year's NCAA Tournament field, but at least one media outlet thinks the Ducks would be in the field should the season end today. ESPN's Charlie Creme posted his most recent bracket projections on Friday morning, and now has Oregon as the final team within the field as a 12-seed. The Ducks would face St. John's in the opening four games in Creme's projection. Per Creme, the Ducks opened the week as the final team outside the field entering this week's conference tournament. A win over Washington, another bubble team on Wednesday, provided them enough juice to get over the hump this time around. Oregon's resume is a confounding one. Sure, the Ducks are 17-14 on the season and finished with a losing 7-11 record in conference play, but they also have far and away the best computer metrics of any team currently on the bubble. Even with the 14 defeats this season, the Ducks are No. 19 in the NET Ranking after Thursday's Pac-12 Tournament quarterfinal loss to Stanford.

Pennsylvania Duck Moderator No. 6 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Kelly Graves says Ducks would play in WNIT if NCAA Tournament doesn't work out It remains unclear what the postseason will hold for the Oregon women's basketball team, but Kelly Graves made it clear following Thursday's Pac-12 Tournament loss to Stanford that his team would be playing regardless of what tournament they're included in. While the latest ESPN bracket projections have the Ducks as the final team inside the field, they remain anything but a lock to go dancing. Should the Ducks be excluded from that tournament, they would accept a bid to an invitational tournament like the WNIT, Graves said on Thursday. "My philosophy has always been if somebody wants us to play, we're going to play. So, that's a yes," Graves said when asked about a possible WNIT opportunity. "I think the team would rather play. I've never understood why people turn things like that down on some kind of principle."

It turns out that might have been a little bit too optimistic, unfortunately for Oregon fans. According to the latest edition of ESPN’s bracketology, the Ducks are still listed as the “first team out” with less than a week to go until Selection Sunday.

Pennsylvania Duck Moderator No. 9 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Chance Gray’s familial guidance has helped her navigate Oregon women’s up-and-down season Gray has played and started in every game this season for the Ducks. She is averaging 10.7 points per game, 2.4 assists and 0.8 steals. Part of Gray’s maturity comes from the fact that her family is not new to navigating the collegiate sports scene. Her father Carlton Gray played college football for UCLA and was drafted into the NFL where he played eight seasons. Her older sister Amber Gray played basketball at both the University of Tennessee and Xavier before playing professionally overseas. Both coached her during her last season at Winton Woods High School. “They’ve taught me the work ethic and what it takes to be successful at these different levels, so I’m very thankful to have people like them in my corner,” she said. “I wouldn’t be where I am today without them.” Read more about Chance Gray in the article at the Daily Emerald...

It’s enough that they made the choice, and the reasoning for wanting to play at a different school is as different as the players entering the portal. That’s not the purpose of this examination. What we’re doing is taking a look at each player’s statistics at their last season at Oregon and then comparing that with the player’s stats at the new school.

The 5-foot-8 guard has appeared in 56 career games with 26 starts and averaged 7.6 points while shooting 35% from the field. “Ula is a high-energy player who is eager to show what she can do,” Oregon coach Kelly Graves said in a release. “She is a versatile player who can knock down the mid-range shot in addition to being a 3-point threat. Ula will bring experience and leadership to our locker room, which will be beneficial to a young team. She can take defenders on the dribble and possesses great court vision. Plus, she’s a hard-working local kid who knows what it means to be a Duck and couldn’t be more excited to be here.” Oregon women’s basketball adds Medford’s Ula Chamberlin WWW.OREGONLIVE.COM Oregon added another in-state guard to its roster.
