A bit of a digression into next year before Monday's game. Yes Boley is an amazing 3-pointer shooter and we can't leave her open, but I imagine it will be much easier, even with Oregon's heralded incoming freshman class next season, to focus on her without having to worry about Ionescu, Hebard and Sabally at the same time.

But back to Monday's game. Oregon this season reminds me of the UConn juggernaut when they had a superstar like Taurasi, Moore or Stewart. Those teams had so much talent surrounding their star that you can't focus too much on them as someone else can burn you. Much like Charles and Montgomery with Moore or Tuck and Jefferson with Stewart, Ionescu has Hebard and Sabally who are just as dangerous if you throw too much attention on their marquee star.

Unfortunately, I think it will take a perfect game and I think we might have to wait until we potentially get Carrington and/or Haley back either in the Pac-12 tournament in a couple weeks or hopefully a Final Four showing in 6 weeks to have a realistic chance. But on the other hand, AZ State and Louisville have beaten them and we have equivalent talent level to those teams, so anything can happen
