Message: [QUOTE="jonson, post: 3411449, member: 6034"] Well, a win is a win, but for me this one was more than a little frustrating, with Oregon inexplicably (to me) going to sleep after getting up by 20 or so in the fourth quarter, including committing almost all--maybe all--of their 7 turnovers during that span (2 straight by Ionescu). After the Stanford game, I hoped the team was past that, but obviously not. So even though I don't think the outcome was ever in doubt, it was--to me, anyway--not as satisfying as it should have been. The team also tried very hard to make Jones a star during the first half, as they continually left her open when double-teaming. They'll have to be much more consistent to win in Corvallis. As for OSU, I'm surprised at Rueck's decision to sit Slocum so much. Last year, I thought that the OSU offense often worked better with her on the bench, but not so today at least. She seems to be the only really good ball handler among their guards and Goodman, in particular, struggles with the ball when pressured. And, although she hit a circus 3 (and looked like she almost got a technical for taunting), she's not the assassin she was last season; the same seems to be true of Tudor, whose shot doesn't look quite right to me. Maybe there's something in the Willamette Valley air, since neither team is shooting threes this year like they did last season. [/QUOTE]
