Pennsylvania Duck Moderator No. 1 Share Posted February 25, 2023 The bracket is set for the 2023 Pac-12 Women’s Basketball Tournament, as the 22nd annual event is slated to tip off this Wednesday, March 1 at Michelob ULTRA Arena in Las Vegas. Both 15-3, Stanford and Utah shared the league's regular-season title, the Cardinal's third consecutive and 26th overall and the first for the Utes. Washington and Oregon both finished 7-11 and in a tie for eighth, with the Huskies holding the tiebreaker and No. 8 seed. The two split their regular-season contests, but the Huskies went 1-2 against the two squads tied atop the league standings, while the Ducks were 0-2. UW has more than tripled its Conference win total from a season ago (2) and has its best seed since it was No. 3 in 2017.

Pennsylvania Duck Author Moderator No. 3 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Te-Hina Paopao regaining her joy, as team preps for Pac-12 Tournament Oh, what difference a little confidence can make. The junior's return to form wasn't a one-off. She followed that showing in Seattle with two more 20-point offerings in this weekend's wins over Arizona and Arizona State. Her heroics, and the team's success of the weekend, keeps their NCAA Tournament hopes hanging by a thread. Over the last three games, Paopao has averaged 22.0 points per game with add made threes on 66.7 percent accuracy. "It's called character. She's got great character," Graves said of Paopao on Saturday afternoon. "She believes in herself. Her teammates believe in her and we believe in her. It was just a matter of time. I'm glad that it's right now because it's made us a more dynamic team when we know we can count on her.

Pennsylvania Duck Author Moderator No. 5 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Grace VanSlooten unlikely to play on Wednesday, Chance Gray a 'question mark' The Ducks may be without two starters when they open Pac-12 Tournament play in Las Vegas on Wednesday. Oregon coach Kelly Graves continues to be skeptical of the availability of forward Grace VanSlooten, who has missed three straight games with an ankle injury, and he's also uncertain if Chance Gray will be available either. Per Graves, VanSlooten saw an uptick in practice activity on Monday, while Gray, who is dealing with a lower left leg injury of her own, was unable to participate. Te-Hina Paopao was also "limited", Graves said.

Pennsylvania Duck Author Moderator No. 6 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Oregon women remain on cusp of NCAA Tournament in latest ESPN projection ESPN's latest bracket projections have the Ducks just outside the field of 68. Per Tuesday's update, the Ducks are the first team on the outside looking in for next month's NCAA Tournament. The Ducks will face Washington on Wednesday to open the Pac-12 Tournament. The winner of that game will have a good chance of dancing, as the Huskies are fifth team out, per ESPN. The remaining team will face Stanford on Thursday in Las Vegas. The Pac-12 remains well-represented in the tournament even with a few teams battling for bids. Stanford and Utah are both on the top-seed line, while Colorado would also host as a four-seed. UCLA (5), Arizona (6), Washington State (10) and USC (10) are also safely in to give the league seven representatives. Oregon has not missed the NCAA Tournament since the 2015-16 season when they reached the WNIT semifinals.

Pennsylvania Duck Author Moderator No. 8 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Ducks open Pac-12 Tournament with must-win against Washington Two strong defensive efforts paved the way for wins over Arizona and Arizona State, which combined to make less than 30 percent of their shots, and Oregon's offense seemed to flow better than in recent weeks with a reshuffled lineup. The demeanor of the team has changed, Graves says. An extra pep can be seen in players' steps, as the weight of the seven-game losing streak has dissipated, and the Ducks' path to the NCAA Tournament has become clearer. Based upon the latest ESPN projections, the Ducks remain the first team outside the field of 68, and Washington, whom the Ducks play on Wednesday to open the Pac-12 Tournament, is in a similar position. A win over the Huskies might only act as the team's 17th of the season, but based upon their computer profile (they have the nation's 18th best NET ranking), that might be enough to punch a ticket.

Pennsylvania Duck Author Moderator No. 12 Share Posted March 1, 2023 DUCKS BRING MOMENTUM TO VEGAS If you're a potential opponent of the Oregon women's basketball team at this week's Pac-12 Tournament, good luck trying to anticipate just what you'll see from the Ducks. Throughout the 2022-23 season, the Ducks rarely have presented the same challenge for very long. They've seen the roster fluctuate, from two early season departures of potential mainstays to injuries taking their toll in recent weeks. They've had individuals enjoy hot streaks, and endure slumps. Some of those questions linger as the UO women (16-13) prepare to face Washington (15-13) in a first-round tournament game at Michelob ULTRA Arena in Mandalay Bay on Wednesday (2:30 p.m., Pac-12). But after wrapping up the regular season with a sweep of the Arizona schools at home last week, the Ducks took some positive momentum with them to Las Vegas on Tuesday. Ducks Bring Momentum To Vegas - University of Oregon Athletics GODUCKS.COM Consistency has been hard to come by this season for Oregon, but the Ducks were in a good place entering the Pac-12 Tournament.
