#7 Oregon @ Washington - 12/19/20

[nwhoopfan]

Paopao picked up her 3rd foul about midway thru Q3.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Sabally coming to life in Q3.

I don't know how UW is still staying close but somehow, someway they are. They will not stay close enough to win but they are not being blown out, which is major victory thus far...

No kidding. Poor shooting, lots of TOs, guards collectively doing NOTHING...still. Like I said, Oregon isn't playing well. They should be up by 25 or 30 the way the Dawgs are playing.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Graves might've lit his team up at halftime, but it didn't work. The Ducks are even worse in Q3 than they were in the first half. UW has been hapless this quarter, but UO has only added 2 points to their lead in 7 1/2 minutes.

And they’re doing so w/o their star freshman.

@nwhoopfan where is Sadler?

 

[Figurehead]

They call that trash ball. Chucking it up towards the basket.

Hurt

 

[Floridaduck]

Some ugly Duck ball right now

 

[nwhoopfan]

@nwhoopfan where is Sadler?

Injured, but I haven't heard any details. Missed last game too.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Huskies offense is absolutely pathetic. Ducks really, really uninspiring today, leading 50-36 thru Q3. Paopao sat for a long time (nearly picked up her 4th foul as soon as she returned). I'm thinking she's the Ducks most important player.

 

[Figurehead]

Washington has one of their football players In today

 

[nwhoopfan]

Can we please have Melgoza back? UW can't even get a shot off in multiple possessions. No creators, no drivers, no shooters, nothing.

I bet Oregon State wished they still had Slocum too.

OSU minus Slocum has a lot more to work w/ than UW does currently. Sadler showed some promise but now she's out with an injury.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Jeez, Graves is about to become #2 in wins at UO already.

 

[nwhoopfan]

UO finally pulling away. Up 66-39. Parrish having a nice game w/ 18.

 

[Figurehead]

Parrish is the type that can take a game over. She is a bulldog

 

[nwhoopfan]

Ha. UW is so bad you can show up for only 1 quarter and still beat them by 30.

 

[nwhoopfan]

73-49 final.

Careful now......Oregon State can’t just show up.

 

[Floridaduck]

When your shooters like Boley and Mikesell can’t buy a basket Oregon is not gonna steamroll anybody. Glad they could grit it out and some young pups stepped up. Sabally came to play though. Nice to see Parrish break out. She’s been not much through 5 Games. Dugalic continues to impress. Think she makes the rotation if Graves settles on 8-9 after break.
note: Boley and Mikesell 2-15 overall, 2-10 from 3. These were largely open looks too. Rest of the team: 26-52, 50%

 

[LOhunter]

I'm not seeing it w/ Prince. She's a finesse player, but she's not remotely close to what I would call dominant. 2 pts and 1 reb, 1-4 shooting so far. She does have 2 assists. Both of UW's post players are way outplaying her thus far.
[/QUOT

Just think she needs to get stronger in her legs and be willing to bang inside.
Right now, both of the freshmen bigs, Watson and Dugalic are playing more physical inside than Prince.

My guess is Oregon's 9 player rotation will be Prince, Sabally, Dugalic, Boley, Parrish, Chavez, Mikesell, Pao Pao and Shelley. I think Scherr/Watson/Giomi will have a tough time getting minutes in big games.

Maybe, but hard to keep Scherr off the floor. She has been solid both in the offense and defense. Watson provides a big, athletic option on the blocks, something only Sabally has consistently shown. Giomi too is stronger than last year. Going to be a hard decision for Graves.
