LAS VEGAS — In its quest to win a national championship, the Oregon women's basketball team has taken a big step forward on the defensive end in 2019-20.
The Ducks still take a back seat to nobody on offense, though. Arizona was reminded of that Saturday night, as the Ducks shot 53.2 percent and beat the Wildcats, 88-70, in the semifinal round of the Pac-12 Tournament at the Mandalay Bay Events Center.
The UO women put up the most points in the tournament through nine games this week, and Sabrina Ionescu became the tournament's all-time leading scorer with her 31-point night.
