Oregon traveled a little over 100 miles as the Duck flies to face off against Arizona State today, and many of the problems evident at Arizona on Friday persisted against the Sun Devils. The question prior to the game was how Oregon would respond to its poor game at Arizona. While Oregon’s defense most of the game was solid, the team generated very little offense and missed numerous close shots. ASU capitalized on some favorable officiating, outscoring the Ducks by 12 at the free throw line, and pulling away down the stretch to beat Oregon 55 - 49.
FIRST QUARTER
Oregon seemed ready to put the Arizona game behind it early, bolting to a 5 - 0 lead in the first two minutes on a Sydney Parrish 3 and a Nyara Sabally rebound of her own miss and subsequent layup.
