We win 80-68 as we made the fourth quarter far more interesting than it should have been, as Oregon managed to trim the lead to within 7 at one point.
Lexie set a new career high with 33 points (13/22 shooting, 7/10 from 3-pt range) as she took over the game offensively with Jones and Jump as the other double digit contributors.
We couldn't stop Endyia Rogers on the other end, she had 22 points and Sabally had 19 points as well, but we largely neutralized Paopao who was just 4/18 from the floor.
We were fortunate that the Ducks could not capitalize on our mistakes, but those errors must be trimmed. It's frustrating, because I feel like a lot of the turnovers were unforced.
Why do we keep shooting ourselves in the foot? We turned the ball over 18 times, including four times in the last four minutes of the game; a lot of them unforced or trying to force the ball in. Fortunately, Belibi came up with a couple of great defensive possessions, preventing Sabally from scoring inside when Brink picked up her fourth foul.
