Oregon @ UCLA - 1/07/18

[nwhoopfan]

34-31 UCLA, first lead of the game on a 3 from Dean.

Ionescu is just having a bad game all around. Can't shoot, too many TO's, not many assists, at least she's rebounding the ball.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Canada has scored 11, but only 4-11 from the floor, she takes some really wild shots. She's a good player but I don't exactly love the way she plays the game.

 

[nwhoopfan]

2 straight buckets for Ionescu and Oregon back up 36-34.

If she played just a little bit smarter she would be 6 for 11 on the night. Sometimes she is looking for the foul or spectacular play instead of sticking to some fundamentals. If she would give herself an extra half second every now and then she wouldn't be attempting some of the wild shots she attempts.

 

[Nuyoika]

LOL #44 from Oregon is getting away with A LOT of shots to the neck, she isn't even trying to rebound shes just in there to shove people.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Several momentum swings back and forth, but nobody can get any separation in this game. Oregon up 43-42 after 3Q.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Hebard, Sabally and Gildon are all on the floor for the Ducks. I don't think they've used that combination very often.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Back to back 3's by UCLA, up 48-45.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Hebard has really come alive in the second half. Hebard vs. Billings is a nice battle.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Oregon briefly went up 1, but UCLA could have a 5 point possession (and-1, missed the FT, got the O board, then another and-1).

 

[nwhoopfan]

And-1 on the other end for Ionescu. This hasn't been a great game, but shaping up for a good finish. 55-54 UCLA, just under 6 minutes left.

 

[Shades]

She's a good player but I don't exactly love the way she plays the game.

I've always been somewhat skeptical about her as a draft prospect, but some people are crazy about her.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Billings w/ 20 pts. on 7-15 shooting, Hebard w/ 19 on 8-11. Another TO for the Ducks. UCLA up 57-54 and will have the ball after the final media time out.

 

[nwhoopfan]

I've always been somewhat skeptical about her as a draft prospect, but some people are crazy about her.

She's had a lot more of an impact since I posted that. I think she'll be a good pro. She certainly has a good fell for the game, and piling up triple doubles the way she does is quite unique.


edited--too many TO's for her today though, she's a bit rattled

 

[Nuyoika]

Free throws....................

 

[nwhoopfan]

Hebard w/ 19, Cazorla w/ 15, Ionescu w/ 13. The other 2 starters have 4 each, and only 1 point off the bench. Not enough balance for Oregon. I can't even remember the last shot attempt for Bando. She's been completely invisible.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Cazorla has been abusing UCLA when she gets a big on her on the perimeter.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Oregon w/ a chance to take the lead again, Sabally shooting FTs after grabbing an O board.

Hold on.... I was talking about Canada. I'm high on Ionescu.

 

[nwhoopfan]

63-59 Oregon, Bando nails a big 3.

UCLA missed at least 3 shots from point blank range on their last possession.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Hold on.... I was talking about Canada. I'm high on Ionescu.

Oops. Never mind my post then. I'm not gonna make any predictions about Canada.

 

[Nuyoika]

UCLA had all the chances in the world.... I mean use the back board if you have to. Too many bunnies missed.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Bando must've heard me. Scored the last 5 points. 65-59 Ducks.

 

[nwhoopfan]

UCLA has gone ice cold, mostly in the lane. More FTs for Oregon to add to the lead.
