ESPN's Oregon/UConn Preview

[CTtoSanDiego]

spoiler alert: 2 pick OR, 1 picks UConn (which surprised me!)

Can Oregon finally beat UConn in women's basketball?

With a No. 1 seed on the line, what will decide Monday's meeting? Sabrina Ionescu and Oregon look to topple UConn on the Huskies' home court.

Interesting article. Only Hays picks UConn to win, but the other two, Voepel and Creme, pick Oregon in close games. I think their assessments are pretty good, specifically in regards to MW. She needs to limit her turnovers and stay out of foul trouble. Also, Liv could be key.

Can they finally beat UConn...but they've only played 3 times, and only once when Oregon was relevant as the article quickly reveals. Stupid choice for headline. Would be more appropriate to use with South Carolina.

I think ESPN is saving money on copyeditors by just recycling the "Can __ finally beat UConn" headline whenever UConn plays a team that's never beaten them.

Do they use it for every conference game?

Oregon traveled to Utah on Thrusday night, now travel to Colorado to
play Saturday at 4:00PM and then travel again to Uconn for Monday
nights game. That's quite a road trip to play a top team. We may be
facing a tired team come Monday. This will be a good test for the
Huskies.

Do they ever write an article for a conference game?

Oregon will be playing its 3rd game in 5 days, and 3 time zones away from home. If UConn is to get a top-shelf win this season, this is by far their best chance. Personally I'd rather see us beat SC if I had to choose, but that'll be the taller order.

Yeah, probably not.
