ROAD TRIP CONTINUES AT WASHINGTON STATE

 

The Ducks look to snap their season-long five-game skid and split the regular-season series with the Cougars Friday. UO fell 67-57 at No. 18 UCLA on Sunday, as seven of UO's 11 losses have come to a top-25 this season. Each of Oregon's last 10 games have been decided by 10 or fewer points.
 
Oregon is 72-20 all-time against WSU, marking its most wins against a single opponent in program history. The Cougars claimed an 85-84 overtime win in the season's first meeting on Jan. 15 at Matthew Knight Arena to end the Ducks' eight-game winning streak in the series.

Ducks aim to maintain positive outlook amidst losing streak

 

It's been nearly three weeks since Oregon's women's basketball team won a game. This five-game win streak is the second longest during Kelly Graves' time in Eugene with a six-game skid in his debut season acting as the longest. 

 

Winning creates momentum, and the Ducks don't have much of the latter at the moment. 

 

"We've got to see a victory," Graves said during Wednesday's press event. "They've been tough to come by recently."

Ducks eye revenge in rematch of last month's heartbreaking loss to WSU

 

Ahlise Hurst appeared to give the Ducks a thrilling come-from-behind win on Jan. 15. The Ducks had trailed Washington State by as much as six points in the final minute of regulation before the Oregon reserve put down a long three that gave the Ducks the edge as time expired.

 

Yet, officials waved off the play due to a clock operator error. Five minutes of overtime later, and it was the Cougars leaving Matthew Knight Arena victorious and not the home Ducks. 

 

"It was definitely a hurt type of feeling," Oregon freshman guard Chance Gray said on Wednesday as the Ducks prepare for Friday's rematch with the Cougars. "You feel like you leave everything out there and that was a crazy game. Hopefully we can turn it around. There's a little bit of anger and a little bit of frustration all combined into one."

Ducks fall short in Pullman, drop sixth straight game

 

A sixth straight defeat makes finishing with a .500 Pac-12 record an impossibility for the Oregon women's basketball team. 

 

Friday's defeat in Pullman resembled many of the losses during the skid. The Ducks weren't good enough offensively or defensively, and played without the consistency necessary to end their losing streak. Washington State, which led by as much as 13 points, finished with the season sweep of the Ducks with a 64-57 win. 

 

Oregon had won the previous six games at Beasley Coliseum before Friday's defeat. This is first season since 2001-02 that Oregon has lost both regular season meetings with the Cougars.

IU has sort of become what Oregon was 3 years ago. I knew that Oregon should have given more playing time last year to Sydney Parrish.

Ducks’ Skid Hits Six in Pullman

 

The Ducks (14-12, 5-10) had just six assists on 23 made field goals while committing 17 turnovers. WSU (17-9, 7-8) converted those 17 turnovers into 18 points, holding an 18-8 edge in points off turnovers.
 
"Obviously in the first half the turnovers [hurt], we did a little bit better in that area in the second half, but they outscored us by 10 in the turnovers and that's the final score," said head coach Kelly Graves. "We had been taking care of the ball a little bit better but it bit us tonight.
