UConn women’s basketball loses to Oregon, 72-59

UConn women’s basketball didn’t have enough to keep up on the road against the Oregon Ducks, losing 72-59.

The Huskies were without Christyn Williams due to COVID protocols. The news of her absence came out a little more than an hour before tip-off. Meanwhile, Oregon has just gotten healthy after dealing with a combination of injuries and COVID throughout the season and was coming off an upset of No. 7 Arizona on Saturday.

Despite the loss, Olivia Nelson-Ododa had the best game of her UConn career. She led the team with six assists and eight rebounds while also adding 17 points.
