Arizona St. got themselves a scorer in Boise St. transfer Jade Loville. Thumping Northern Colorado.
 
Ducks handled Idaho State 91-34. All ten players scored. Standing out were Prince 9-10, Sabally and Scherr each 6-9, Kyei 10 rebounds off the bench. Team: 61% from the field, 7-15 from 3.
Sabally to locker room with banged knee early in 3rd and did not return to floor. Icing it on bench. Probably okay.
 
Courtesy O-live J Crepea (Oregonian paper):

Oreogn/Idaho State

Oregon shot 61% FG & held Idaho State to 22.6%. The Ducks have not shot 60%+ & held opponent under 25% in same game since at least 2010-11, perhaps ever. No Kelly Graves team did it vs. D1 team dating back through his tenure at Gonzaga (2000-14)
 
Arizona impressive, no idea how they will perform but they definintely intrigue me.
 
As long as Sabally is ok, this was a really good day for Oregon--and against an NCAA tournament team that returned almost all its roster and is favored to (once again) win the Big Sky Conference. Defensively, and with Maddie Scherr leading the way (surely the most disruptive perimeter player of Graves tenure here), Oregon took Idaho State completely out of its game and the Bengals looked shell-shocked from start to finish. Among the positives was the play of both freshmen. There's already been a lot of talk about Kyei, and rightly so, but I was also impressed by Taylor Bigby, who has, I believe, a bright future going forward. With PaoPao back, maybe Oregon can even give South Carolina a challenge in the Bahamas (if they get past Oklahoma, that is), although PaoPao + Rogers would be even better.

Thanks for posting this.

I tried streaming several games yesterday. Had no problem with Arizona. A little while later, none of the games would load. Tried several times. Gave up.

Eventually I was able to stream the Arizona men's game. I didn't go back to trying the any of the women's games at that point.

Didn't get much production out of Love yesterday, but like Texas I kind of doubt Arizona backslides much. I like the look of that team.

I don't think Carolina making it past Oregon to meet UConn is at all a sure thing.

It's an exciting game. I guess Syracuse was supposed to be UConn's competition but that didn't work out.

I too was unable to stream the games from PAC-12.com. The Pac-12 website design is horrible. Not being able to stream a game makes them appear so amateurish.

Exactly. We all breathed a sigh of relief when Larry Scott rode off into the sunset, but I can't tell that the new comish is doing anything to improve the standing of the conference. This amateur hour to start the season isn't giving me any confidence.

Colorado off fast against Oklahoma State, leading 32-20 at half on the road. Should be more. Defense excellent, forcing turnover after turnover. Sherrod went down in last seconds of half. No report yet on how serious. Injuries kept her out of all but 12 games last year. Three point shooting keeping OS in game plus a couple of good drives to basket. Colorado needs better shot selection.
 
Colorado 41-30 at end of three. Sherrod continues to drive to basket when a better choice would be to set up a play. This was a problem for her in past. Hollingshed with 10 points to lead Buffs.
But CU opens 4th with two sloppy passes leading to two steals, four points for OS. Intercepted bad passes earlier in the game led to OS scores.
 
Colorado wins 55-45, leading from start to finish, with Mya scoring 15. Both teams are picked—barely—to make NCAA tournament. First opening game loss for OS since 2005.
 
Quay w/ a decent debut, 9 pts/6 reb 4-7 shooting. Looks like Sadler didn't do much. We'll take her back in Seattle. :rolleyes:
 
Slow start for UCLA, trailing Pepperdine 22-15 after Q1.
 
.-.
UCLA is employing a midget lineup. Chou, Thomas, Osborne, Owens, Penn.
 
Watching UCLA - Pepperdine one thought crosses my mind. A lot of things may happen in the Pac-12 this season but UCLA beating Oregon in Eugene ain’t one of them.

What I figured from two of them but Sadler got 20 minutes floor time so I assume JR saw something on defense from her. Quay makes up for loss of Charlotte for the year.

By the way the live stats are down for the game.............. or way behind

Freshman for Pepperdine, Ally Steedman has 18 points at the half. She played at Pinnacle HS in Phoenix. I think that is the same HS as Sydney Weise from OSU. She may have 6 three pointers.

Looks like UCLA is gonna survive. Up 12 under a minute left.
 
Pepperdine was picked 9th out of 10 in the West Coast Conference.

Even significantly shorthanded you would expect a bigger margin from a ranked team.

Pepp hit 13 3's in the first half, I think they only missed one. That's gonna keep you in a lot of games. That was almost all of their points in the first half. I'll bet they won't repeat that all season.

One on hand, they'd struggle to repeat that performance even in shootaround.

On the other, it doesn't speak well of UCLA's 3-point defense.

Last season USF made 15 or 16 3-pointers vs Oregon State. It was painful to watch as OSU's defense on the perimeter was terrible. Fortunately, OSU's 3-point defense got much better over the course of the season. I'm sure the Bruins will as well.
