An inability to sustain offensive intensity has plagued the Oregon Ducks Women’s basketball squad in many of its games this season. Tonight’s game at USC was another example as Oregon bolted to a 20 - 8 lead in the first quarter but scored only 31 points in the rest of the game and fell to the Trojans 56 - 51 in LA. Oregon had beaten the Trojans 12 straight times before tonight’s loss, including a 73 - 45 blowout win in Eugene on New Years Day. Oregon’s ineffectiveness on offense for three quarters of tonight’s game is inexplicable. After the first quarter, the Ducks routinely missed open shots they had made early in the game, including numerous layups.
