Oregon women can’t overcome 23 turnovers in home loss to No. 9 Ohio State
The Oregon Ducks put forth a spirited effort against No. 9 Ohio State during a women’s basketball game Sunday afternoon at Matthew Knight Arena.
But that wasn’t enough to overcome a glut of turnovers and an inability to keep the Buckeyes out of the paint during an 80-64 loss.
The Ducks matched their season high with 23 turnovers. They committed 18 in the first half and 22 through three quarters to trail 56-44.
Oregon cleaned up its turnover issues in the fourth quarter, but failed to prevent the Buckeyes’ offense from thriving inside. Ohio State scored 34 points in the paint compared to 18 for Oregon.
“Disappointed,” Oregon coach Kelly Graves told reporters. “Obviously, in the outcome and kind of how we played … The turnovers just killed us.”
The Buckeyes specialize in forcing turnovers. They lead the conference in steals per game (12.7), forced turnovers (22.8) and turnover margin (plus-9.6).
“That’s who they are, that’s what they do …” Graves said. “They were just relentless.”
Oregon, which averages 15.1 turnovers per game, forced Ohio State into 20 turnovers. But the Buckeyes shot 51.9% from the field while the Ducks shot 36.7%.
“We just weren’t as sharp and composed as we needed to be (today),” Graves said. “I didn’t coach with poise and we didn’t play with poise. And it showed.”
WHAT IT MEANS
The Ducks (18-8, 6-7 Big Ten Conference) moved to 1-5 against currently ranked teams, having also fallen to No. 2 UCLA, No. 8 Michigan, No. 10 Iowa and No. 12 Michigan State. Oregon won 68-61 at No. 22 Maryland last weekend.
The Ducks likely must win two of their remaining five games to earn an NCAA Tournament berth.
Oregon last committed 23 turnovers this season during a double-overtime 92-87 loss to Michigan on Dec. 29.
TOP PERFORMERS
Ari Long led the Ducks with 16 points. Sarah Rambus and Mia Long each scored 13.
Ohio State’s 6-foot-6 center Elsa Lemmila took advantage of Oregon’s lack of size by scoring a career-high 23 points. She shot 10 of 12 from the floor and grabbed nine rebounds.
Kennedy Cambridge scored 20 points, and her sister, Jaloni Cambridge, added 19.
Kennedy Cambridge made a career-best five three-pointers on seven attempts.
“She was feeling it tonight,” Graves said.
NEXT UP
The Ducks play at No. 24 Washington (17-6, 7-5) at 5 p.m. on Feb. 15.
“We’ve got a whole week to kind of lick our wounds and heal up,” Graves said.

MEDFORD, Ore. — Fire crews quickly knocked down a trailer fire Monday night that threatened a nearby home in the 3000 block of Table Rock Road, displacing one resident.
Firefighters responded around 9:20 p.m. Monday, May 4. Engine 14 arrived to find a trailer on fire and the flames threatening a nearby residence. Crews knocked the fire down within eight minutes of arrival.
No injuries to civilians or firefighters were reported. One resident was displaced as a result of the fire.
The cause is believed to be related to the use of an outdoor fire pit, where embers likely ignited nearby combustible materials. Officials said the fire spread from pallets and other items to the RV, causing extensive damage to the RV and minor damage to the exterior of the home.
With warmer, drier weather approaching, officials warned fire risk increases and urged people to follow outdoor fire safety tips. They recommend using a screen on outdoor fires when burning wood, choosing approved propane free-standing fire pits rather than wood-fueled options, keeping combustible materials at least 15 feet away, and discarding cigarettes, ash, embers and other smoldering materials in a non-combustible container filled with water.
Medford Police, Mercy Flights Inc. and Jackson County Fire District 3 assisted on the incident.
