The Oregon Ducks women’s basketball team suffered a 64-59 loss to the Illinois Fighting Illini on Saturday afternoon. Oregon got off to a hot start, leading 9-4 early behind a quick 7-point spurt by Deja Kelly. But it was all Illinois after that, taking a 19-2 run into the first minute of the 2nd quarter. But then it was Oregon’s turn to go on a run of their own, holding the Fighting Illini to just 5 points the rest of the 2nd, and cutting the deficit to just one point, 28-27 at the half, on a Nani Falatea buzzer beater.
