Utes Beat the Beavs

[Pinhead]

Utah 85 @ Oregon State 79. After their Duck disaster in Eugene, who'd a thunk the Utes would dam-up the Beavers!? Led by the Pacific NW's own Brynna Maxwell's 34 pts.

Utah women’s basketball team knocks off No. 15 Oregon State 85-79

With the Utah women's basketball team still fresh off a COVID-19 stoppage that delayed the start of its season, the Utes registered a shocker Tuesday evening, defeating No. 15 Oregon State in Corvallis, 85-79

Great win for Utah. Utah is much better than I envisioned. Beavers need to figure out how to get Taylor Jones to contribute. 1 for 10, 5 turnovers. Previous game played 4 minutes total because of foul trouble. As I said, Beavers were not PAC-12 ready. Beavers have too many "new" players. Rueck & his assistants have a bunch of work. BTW, Maxwell for UT is a 1st-team PAC-12 talent.

So what is the story with many beavers not playing this season? I saw Morris transferred, significant loss. Others missing in action? Medical? Other?

Andrea Aquino still hasn’t been cleared to play (last I saw) and Kennedy Brown is still recovering from her ACL tear last season. I don’t know who else is injured/transferred.

Who's Morris? Do you mean Slocum who moved onto her third school of Arkansas?

Isn't Anna's older sister on the Utes?

Patricia Morris 6’7” F/C played for two years. Now at TCU. And yeah Destiny Slocum going to Arkansas was a major blow to the roster along with graduation losses like Pivec. But Scott seems to have a good core group led by Corosdale and Goodman and he is an excellent coach. They will cause some trouble... just, hopefully, not this Sunday.

She is. Ola averaged 12 minutes per game last season, is on current roster but does not appear in either current boxscores.
