Slumping Oregon women’s basketball to face No. 20 Utah Utes: What to know
Oregon (11-13, 2-9 Pac-12) at No. 20 Utah (17-7, 7-5 Pac-12)
Time/date: 11 a.m., Sunday
Site: Huntsman Center; Salt Lake City, Utah
TV: Pac-12 Network. Radio: KUGN 98.1 FM.
About the matchup: The last time these squads matched up was just over two weeks ago in Eugene, a game that saw the Ducks blow a small lead in the second half of a 58-48 loss. Oregon controlled the game through most of the first half and third quarter before Utah’s Alissa Pili scored 12 of her 16 points in the final frame. Ducks’ leading scorer Grace VanSlooten did not play in the last matchup while recovering from concussion symptoms.
About the Ducks: Still stumbling during a now six-game losing streak, Oregon took a hard, 90-57 loss in Boulder on Friday and will be playing yet another ranked opponent next on the road in Utah. While the typical double-digit scorers in VanSlooten, Chance Gray, and Phillipina Kyei all scored in double figures, bench guard Ula Chamberlin scored 13 points in the loss and made four 3-pointers.
About the Utes: Though Utah had a strong bounce back weekend against the Washington schools last week, they once again lost to Oregon State in their last game out, a 58-44 defeat Friday at the Huntsman Center. The Utes go as star forward Pili goes, with the senior averaging well over 20 points a game for the Utes.
