Duke @ Oregon St (12) - 12/20/18

[Crazyhorse]

Come on Duke, you can do it!

13-12. This might seem kinda strange, but I think I'm liking Goodman being on the floor and Slocum being on the bench in recent games.

This Slocum thing is bizarre. Rueck takes her out and then the Beavs come to life. I just don't think she's fitting in Rueck's system.

That's what I'm afraid of too.

Tudor gives OSU their first lead of the game. Duke answers, tied at 15 after Q1. Take away that pathetic start and OSU would be in good shape.

Meh, we all pay for NBC... the least you can do is pay for others.

I wasn’t complaining. Haha. Plus I’m also a Auburn fan. So it benefits me having the SEC Network for all the sports. Plus being a sports fan in general it benefits me having all the Networks.

 

[nwhoopfan]

I can understand the starting lineup Rueck uses, but Tudor and Goodman have been just as good as any of the starters.

 

[IrishTiger]

I think Oregon State will pull away. I don’t think this Duke Team is that good.

 

[nwhoopfan]

17-15 OSU. Pivec missed a corner 3 by about 5 feet (long, not short).

 

[nwhoopfan]

McWilliams rims out a 3. Starters aren't getting it done.

Watching on Comcast/Xfinity, which only has PAC12 in SD.
Nice to see Destiny Slocum playing again.
Oregon seems to have gotten the range. Some nice longball shooting on both sides. Enjoying this.
My impression is that Duke doesn't rebound well.
Tied at 17 2Q 8:18

 

[nwhoopfan]

Slocum has scored on a drive and a 3 in Q2, starting to get into the flow.

 

[nwhoopfan]

27-23 OSU 4:01 Q2. Tudor and Slocum both have 8. 2 starters haven't scored and Pivec and Washington have 3 buckets combined. Not enough production from the starters.

9 for Gorecki and bunch of other players have 2 or 4.

OSU finding the range from 3 but overall FG% is poor--11-30.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Grymek misses from point blank off a beautiful pass from Goodman. OSU should be pulling away but it's 27-25. I'm still nervous.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Beavs 12-35 overall (35%), way below their average. They're leading but I'm still not liking the way they're playing.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Goodman hits a corner 3 w/ no Duke player within 10 feet of her.

 

[nwhoopfan]

32-25 at the half. Beavs should be up 12-15.

 

[wbball novice]

Halftime. Which team is considered the underdog in this match-up? Duke has been pretty weak in the last couple of years but this team seems more proficient. Beavers can really whip the ball around. Duke seems to be a little more consistent under the basket.

 

[Plebe]

I'll say this. Duke looks eons better than they did in that early loss to Northwestern. They have some really nice pieces, and some players with really high ceilings. Jade Williams is a very raw talent. Odom and Gorecki are very good.

 

[wbball novice]

Showing highlights during halftime. Courtney Ekmark doing some good stuff at Arizona.

She led them in scoring vs. Fresno State with 17 points, but an inefficient 6-18 shooting.

 

[nwhoopfan]

This is better. 38-26, timeout Duke. Starting to knock down 3's consistently.

 

[Plebe]

After their frigid start, Oregon State is up to 8-17 from 3, with 4 different players hitting from behind the arc. Slocum having one of her best games in a Beaver uniform.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Terrible blind pass buried under the basket by Slocum got picked off in traffic and went for a layup the other way. Then she missed a layup after a nice drive. I'm still not totally sold on her performance tonight.


Now Corosdale forced a pass in traffic. OSU is so turnover prone, have been for years.

 

[nwhoopfan]

12 point lead was down to 5, then Slocum hit about a 25 footer. She's looking a bit gimpy.

 

[nwhoopfan]

2 starters are still scoreless for OSU (although Corosdale has 8 boards) and another only has 2. That is just not going to cut it. Not sure what's going on with this team.

Did she foul intentionally after hitting the 3 just to stop the clock and come out of the game?

sure looked like it to me

 

[nwhoopfan]

Nice feed from Goodman to Grymek. I know lotrader has been killing her, but Jo is more productive than 3 of the starters tonight (6 points on 3-4 shooting).

 

[nwhoopfan]

Corosdale finally gets on the board, splashes a 3. 48-37 OSU.
