Pennsylvania Duck Author Moderator No. 3 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Ducks headed north for holidays for biggest test of young season Things are about to get tough in a hurry. Thursday brings the first major challenge of the season. The team will spend Thanksgiving in Portland where they'll face No. 8 North Carolina (4-0) in the first of two games at this year's Phil Knight Invitational. Oregon didn't play four quality quarters on Monday. That has head coach Kelly Graves concerned with Thursday's 2 PM tip at the Chiles Center looming.

spartan2785 No. 21 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Should have won that game, our guards have to play with more discipline, we would get out to a good lead playing a composed half-court game, then when we tried to speed it up we would give up points in transition and let UNC back in it. That game is a game we lost not UNC winning it. We play with more composure we win. Had a clear advantage inside, yet we got away from that in the 4th quarter. Offense should have gone to Kyei and Van Slooten a lot more, instead Rodgers, PaoPao, and Hurst tried to do too much. I still think Graves doesn't coach with enough fire, I never see him demand better basketball from our players, just seems to be okay with obvious mistakes. All that said I like the look of this team immensely more than last season. I never though Prince played with much fire, and I already feel like Kyei is going to be a better player, maybe not as much of a scorer, but she fights a lot more trying to get rebounds and plays better defense. They'll get better, and in the end I think this will be a better team compared to last year. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pennsylvania Duck Author Moderator No. 22 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Ducks lose control late, can't fend off No. 8 UNC in PKI opener The Ducks led for the high majority of Thursday's game with No. 8 North Carolina. However, the final quarter was all Tar Heels. North Carolina used a timeout trailing 68-61 with seven minutes to play, and came out of with a flurry baskets, including a four-point play to take their first lead since the early part of the first quarter. The loss is Oregon's first of the season and sets up a Sunday morning tip in the consolation game against either No. 5 Iowa State or Michigan State.

jonson No. 26 Share Posted November 25, 2022 I think Graves is right to be positive about this loss/team. Yes, they should have won--and would have if Rogers hadn't had the worst game I've seen from her in an Oregon uniform (8 turnovers + some other questionable decisions) and the team remembered how to make free throws. (They were actually quite good early in the season; don't know what's happened in the past couple of games.) They also didn't get much help from the more experienced guards on the bench. (I thought Hosendove was solid.) But--on the positive side of things, the best 4 on the court were the 3 freshmen + Philly (who is, I believe, still the youngest, and surely the least experienced, player on the team). VanSlooten certainly deserves all the praise she's getting, but Isai was also terrific, and, although she didn't score much, Chance Gray seemed to me quite composed and the best perimeter defender on the team (by a lot). And Philly--well, she just seemed more in control than she has been in the past. More minutes, and the better conditioning that requires, will only make her impact even greater. Time will tell (obviously) how much better they can/will get, but if North Carolina isn't massively over-ranked, and there aren't any more serious injuries, this team has the potential to be the best Oregon WBB team post-Sabrina. And, in any case, it is (to me) a breath of fresh air after the past season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
