Hebard has not been herself this year--or, perhaps more accurately, the Hebard we saw last year.  She has been ill for a few games, but I don't think that's the problem.  Graves was quite disappointed with her after the Michigan State fiasco, saying, in effect, that she needs to want the ball and work for it.  With the exception of Ionescu, the freshman Chavez and Sabally (much of the time), the team seems to be sleepwalking through too much of too many games, although I suppose the fact that they beat SDS in South Dakota by 8 vs. Baylor beating them by 6 on a neutral court is a hopeful sign.  Oregon will never be a good defensive team, but if they play with the energy they showed in the second half against SDS vs. their play in the first half and in the entire game against Michigan State, they will get a lot closer to their potential.  Or, to put it another way, Hebard, Boley, and Cazorla need to up their toughness and energy quotients considerably (I'm partially exempting Sabally from this and the freshman Chavez entirely) if the team is going to be the team that some folks, including me, thought it would be.
