"Oregon’s big three of Sabrina Ionescu, Ruthy Hebard and Satou Sabally will be tested by UConn’s quartet of Megan Walker, Christyn Williams, Crystal Dangerfield and Olivia Nelson-Ododa, with all seven averaging in double-figures scoring." "Sabally will be one of the most critical players on the court for either team, as few can do what the Oregon junior small forward is capable of. She’s averaging 20 points and 7.7 rebounds over the Ducks’ last seven games entering tonight and has gotten to the free-throw line at a high rate, going 46 of 51 over that span. “I’m going to enjoy the game (Monday),” Sabally said. “I’m going to come out aggressive. In the end it’s just another game against a really good opponent, but I’m going to enjoy the environment.” https://www.oregonlive.com/ducks/20...hasnt-lost-at-gambel-pavilion-in-7-years.html
Oregon looks and probably is the superior team. Having said that, hardly anyone goes to UConn and walks out with a win, ever. So far, so good!
UConn's worst loss at Gampel... ever! Oregon and Oregon St women's basketball are two easy programs to root for!
Even though UConn has slipped a bit of what they use to be, it was still a great win for the women's Duck team especially like you mentioned it was at UConn. Good for them and congratulations on a well played game.
They mentioned that Sabally was rated as the third highest projected pick in the upcoming WNBA draft and they had Ionescu at the top spot. This team also has Ruthy Hebard, who just notched her 50th career double double and is like Zach Randolph around the rim. She can't jump but she is extraordinary at finishing shots and collecting rebounds. Then you have Minyon Moore who is a two-time defensive all-conference member. She can also run point which helps give Sabrina rest. Then you have Erin Boley who was the top rated HS prospect in her class out of HS. I don't know how this team isn't projected as the #1 overall seed despite their losses. They are so unbelievably loaded. Their backups at guard are also extremely talented with Shelley, Winterbrun, and Chavez.
