LAS VEGAS — One could understand the logic: Stanford decided that if any UO starter was going to beat the Cardinal, it would be Minyon Moore.

Not Oregon's "Big Three," all candidates for national player of the year. And not Erin Boley, who went for 18 the night before. No, the Cardinal would sag off of Moore to defend the others in Sunday's Pac-12 Championship game.

Behind a season-high 21 points from Moore, not to mention 20 by the incomparable Sabrina Ionescu and 24 from Ruthy Hebard, the UO women's basketball team won the conference tournament title for the second time in three years Sunday, 89-56 over the Cardinal.
