Oregon Ducks Face Utah To Start Final Road Trip Of Regular Season

The Oregon Ducks bring momentum into another winnable game at Utah as the regular season winds down.

Kelly Graves has the Oregon Women’s Basketball team at .500 in the Pac-12 Conference and looking to make some noise and build some momentum in the final weeks of the season. Sabrina Ionescu is coming off a monster weekend that included another Pac-12 Player of the Week honor that also included Freshman of the Week honors from the Conference for her triple double performance against UCLA and a double double performance vs USC in two key home wins.

Oregon is hitting 40 percent as a team from beyond the arc with Lexi Bando hitting 50 percent from three point range. Entering the weekend the Ducks rank 37th in RPI with Utah coming in at 51. The Utes are battling this season and are 15-10 overall and among the bottom teams in the Pac-12 Conference by record at 4-10.

Emily Potter is the one to watch for Utah. Last time out against Oregon she played both ends of the floor and had 12 points and 9 rebounds. She also blocked 5 shots. While the Ducks have momentum, that can be ended quickly on the road with inexperience and youth and Oregon has both. Ionescu has shown she has the leadership to take this team on her back for a victory and she may have to do it again Friday night.
