Pennsylvania Duck Moderator No. 1 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Due to current skid, Ducks entering must-win mode down stretch For the first time since Sabrina Ionescu's first season at Oregon, the Ducks find themselves below .500 in Pac-12 play. As head coach Kelly Graves has said many times this season, the Ducks are no longer the hunted, they're the hunters, and at the moment what this group is hunting most is something to build back up their waning confidence. Now one game below .500 with seven to play, the Ducks have four games remaining with teams currently ranked inside the top 30 of the NET rankings, starting with Sunday's game with seventh-ranked Utah.

Pennsylvania Duck Author Moderator No. 14 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Ducks can't keep up with firing-on-all-cylinder Utes The visiting Utah Utes missed just seven shots in the middle two quarters on Sunday of what became an offensive masterclass on par with some of the heights of the Sabrina Ionescu era in Eugene. Seventh-ranked Utah proved too much, becoming the first squad to score 100 points on a Kelly Graves coached Oregon team and posting the best opposing field goal percentage (62.3 percent) of the Graves era too. The Ducks fought for all four quarters, and led several times in the second half, before falling 100-92 for their fifth loss in six games.

Pennsylvania Duck Author Moderator No. 16 Share Posted February 6, 2023 High-Scoring Shootout Goes To Utes Oregon had one of its best offensive performances of the season in Pac-12 play but lost 100-92 to Utah on Sunday.

duck023 No. 20 Share Posted February 6, 2023 I knew that Covid Canceled year would be the last chance Oregon had at a national championship or ever reaching the final four. Every year that Sabrina has been gone the team has gotten worse. It's not much of a rebuild when you get worse every year. Sooner or later there will be more fans at the Volleyball games than the basketball games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tandaian No. 21 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Yeah, the women have had 7 of their players there for all 23 games. 6 of them have the most minutes played, so we can't use the injury bug for this season. However, having Sedona Prince go down before the season hurt their depth. Hoping they build chemistry this season for next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pennsylvania Duck Author Moderator No. 22 Share Posted February 6, 2023 This Duck team has dug themselves a hole, can they pull themselves out? Monday brought a new Associated Press poll, and for the first time in six years, the Ducks failed to receive a single vote. That's the result of stacking losses. The Ducks entered the New Year as a candidate to host opening rounds of the NCAA Tournament. Barring a perfect conclusion to the regular season and Pac-12 Tournament win, that's off the table.

duck023 No. 23 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Sadly, I don't think they can dig themselves out of the hole they dug themselves and that includes have a decent year next year. Graves milked Sabrina for all she was worth, and he seemed pretty ungrateful for the greatness that she brought to his teams. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Graves told Sabrina's team when she was a sophomore that they hadn't done anything yet even though that was a historic year for Oregon. I remember cringing at his statement because I knew he didn't realize how good of a team he had. However, it is him that has truly done nothing yet because he can't get in the top 10 without Sabrina let alone top 5 which was the team, "that did nothing, yet." 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
