The #16 Oregon Ducks faced the #17 Arizona Razorbacks in San Diego, and rallied in the second half of the 4th quarter to prevail, 85-78. This match featured a couple of outstanding freshmen on the opposing sides. We know about Grace VanSlooten, but Arkansas features a freshman in Saylor Poffenbarger that last week picked up her third SEC Freshman of the Week honors.
Oregon had an initial lead in the first period, but the Razorbacks caught up and surpassed the Ducks primarily on Oregon’s missed shots. For the most part, the looks were good enough; they just didn’t go in.
