A pressing team in their first or 2nd game of the year playing a team with two PG level ball handlers, one who is the best passer in the country...this could be pretty ugly for Syracuse. Game is over by halftime IMO.
 
The line is Oregon -14 with a total of 146.

I think Syracuse keeps it close, but loses.

The statement "Oregon St., until proven does not have the fire power to run with Oregon" is interesting. The one thing OSU has this year is firepower, more so than ever before. Rueck's single biggest challenge is how to manage and substitute this offensive firepower. Destiny Slocum, Mikayla Pivec, Katie McWilliams, Kat Tudor, Taya Corosdale, Aleah Goodman, are more firepower than OSU has ever had on a single team. OSU's single biggest question mark is post defense, and post rebounding. OSU is going to put up a lot of points this year. Oregon could run the table, they are that good, but, in the PAC-12, it is nearly impossible to run the table.

OSU you having their best team ever has exactly what to do with the level Oregon is on? That's like saying USF has their best team ever and so UConn shouldn't expect to run the table in the AAC. Time will tell... Go Huskies!

That's a bit of an odd analogy. Oregon isn't at UConn's level and OSU is a better program than USF (Final 4 and Elite 8 2 of the last 3 years for OSU, USF can't ever get out of the first weekend). Not to mention UO and OSU split their games last year and the Ducks win broke a 14 game losing streak against the Beavers. USF has never beat UConn, right? So, again, that's just a weird analogy.

Look, u keep talking about the past with these teams as if that is a direct indicator of what will happen in the present. These teams change every year, and THIS YEAR Oregon is comparable to UConn. As for something being "weird," I think you should reflect on your desire to continue to quote the past like that has anything to do with what Oregon or Oregon St will do this year. At the end of the day this is all opinion and speculation, so, as I've said before, we will see how it plays out... Starting today. Go Huskies!

There ought to be a law against floors painted like that !

PS. Pretty empty arena, but starting to look better. Avg 4250 =/-.

Boley is not shy about chucking up shots. Ionescu and Hebard invisible so far. So...if you have 2 players that good returning, having a newcomer shoot the ball every possession doesn't seem like the best strategy. I know it's early.
 
ESPN has no box score. Lame. I think Hebard is scoreless. Ionescu got going w/ a couple jumpers. Ducks 20-10 after Q1. UO can play quite a bit better, Syracuse is gonna have a hard time keeping this close.

Cazorla is struggling a bit w/ Syracuse pressure. A couple TOs in a row for the Ducks. 20-14.
 
Boley has shot the ball almost every time she's touched. Too many other talented players for her to be playing like that.
 
I think Boley is 3-11 or 3-12. She's gotta stop shooting so much. Selfish.
 
Hebard getting going, Gildon has giving them a nice lift too. 31-16 Ducks.
 
Cuse keeps chucking it up from deep... they are not Oregon State. If they could shoot like them, this would be an exciting game.

Syracuse looks undisciplined and out of control, poor shot selection. I'm not impressed at all w/ the Orange.
 
Pretty poor game. I started watching during the second quarter. I seen Boley's pump fake, dribble pull up inside the arc and it looked sweet. Then I seen her chuck up four more shots, and she seems to be having the same struggles she did at ND. Her shot is too low and she's not athetical enough unless the shot is wide open. And a few were.

Syracuse I chucking up 3s and they haven't been close.
 
Uh oh, here comes Syracuse. 33-26. Boley has launched about 50 shots this half. They should send her back to Notre Dame.
 
Is Coach Graves watching the same thing I am? Boley is leading them w/ 10 points but I think she's about 4-15 from the floor. TERRIBLE. She's killing them. Hebard shot bout 67% from the floor last year and Ionescu is Ionescu, but Boley is chucking every time she touches it. This is looking like subtraction by addition.
 
34-27 at the half. Cuse goes on a 11-3 run to end the quarter.
 
Where's MikeBlue? This is the Oregon team that's so superior to Oregon St. and Stanford?

if you have watched Syracuse in the past you know how they play. They will press and shoot because they got the green light to do so. They are feast or famine. That is their style.

Neither of these teams looks great - certainly not 'elite.' Boley looks slow & clumsy, Ionescu is skilled but slow, Hebard looks great - especially on defense.
 
I was off by 1. Boley is 4-14. Ionescu is 2-3, Gildon 3-5, Hebard 2-4. Graves better be advising someone to shoot less and pass more in the locker room.
 
Cuse cut it to 3 to start Q3, but then Ionescu scored 5 straight.
