Arizona (12) @ Oregon (3) - 2/07/20

[nwhoopfan]

I didn't think anyone would have less than 2 losses in Pac 12 this year. I might be rethinking that. Ducks could lose @ Stanford or @ UCLA, but I wouldn't be surprised to see them win both.

Ionescu didn't return for her final year of eligibility to finish second in the PAC-12, let alone the nation. I have always thought Oregon is one cut above everyone else in the PAC provided that Moore would settle in well with Oregon (she's good friends with her teammates, but her style of play at U$C was very different from Oregon's). Apart from a few momentarily lapses, I've not really wavered in that assessment, and I've actually been surprised by how much Moore has improved Oregon's until-recently comparatively lackadaisical defense.

All alone at the top of the Pac-12. Stanford loses to UCLA

Agree on Moore, both for what she brings and her influence (by example, Graves has said) on the team's defensive intensity overall. The Satou Sabally of the games since the Arizona trip (Oregon's key player imo) has not only been really impressive inside, driving, and on the offensive boards, but also extremely disruptive on defense--maybe not as disruptive as Moore, but a fairly close second. And Chavez is also very good defensively (as is, for a freshman, Shelley). It took Oregon a quarter and a half+ to really get going offensively against Arizona, but the team was on point defensively and really hurt Arizona on the boards from the start. (The team did a particularly good job on McDonald.) And once things got sorted out offensively, the game was basically over by the end of a 33-16 third quarter.

Averaging 7 rebounds per game over the next 6 and Sabrina gets her 2000-1000 -1000 at home against the Washington’s and before the PAC-12 tournament.

Averaging 7 rebounds per game over the next 6 and Sabrina gets her 2000-1000 -1000 at home against the Washington’s and before the PAC-12 tournament.

Actually if she hits her season rebound average (8.8 rpg it will only take 5 games and she will be at Stanford on ESPN. (8.8 *5=44). She should be at 1003 after that game.

Here are her next 3 big milestone projections if she keeps her season aveages (17.2 ppg/8.8 rbg/ 8.6 apg).

1000 Assists-Next game at home against ASU, she is just 8 away.
1000 Rebounds-5 games, at Stanford, she is just 41 away.
2500 Points-7 games, at home against Washington. she is just 120 away (7*17.2=120.4).

Of course to do all this she has to meet or beat her current season average and she stay healthy, which we all hope she does. Great to have all these accomplishments before Post Season. I also hope she keeps adding to her triple-double legacy.

If Satou comes back Oregon is going to be so good once again. Both Sabally sisters, Chavez is stellar on both ends and should fit in well as a starter, 6-7 Sedona Prince, a really good freshman class plus Shelley returning.
