Great win! Oregon is very good, worthy of their ranking. I don't think we played near our best. Boxing out was not good, thus rebounding should have been better. Too many turnovers. Several players seemed to be rushing a bit, trying to play too fast. Defense early was not great, though at the end it was much better and locked UO out when they tried to come back (except the turnovers that lead to their scores near the end). We did miss the players who sat out. Hope they are all well and this was just contact tracing. This was definitely not Fran's best game. She was rushing I thought, not grabbing rebounds as well as usual, and struggling to finish. Kiana was a mixed bag, too much dribbling into traffic and/or tough shots that she missed, but she came through at the line late.
To the good, super good to see Jana play that way against a top team. Great shooting, no turnovers I don't think, worked hard on D. Anna was excellent all game. Ashten had some very good minutes, looking confident and not fouling.
Given everything, thumbs way up. I do think we missed Lexie, who we often overlook, as well as the others who were out.
I have never seen a team bat so many O boards out to three point shooters as UO did. They kept doing that early in the game and the shooter would hit a wide open three.
