The Oregon Ducks Women’s Basketball team has not had it easy over the first two weeks of the Pac-12 Schedule. Oregon dropped two games against Oregon State and lost in the final minute to Stanford last week at home before picking up their first Conference win on Sunday against Cal at Matthew Knight Arena. Kelly Graves led his team through the non-conference slate without a loss and Oregon will look to make it two in a row against a Colorado Buffaloes team. Over the weekend they fell to 0-6 in the Pac-12 Conference and are also looking to get back on track.

After losing by two points last Thurday vs Stanford, Oregon played angry at times and pulled out a 10 point win against the Golden Bears. Jillian Alleyne, Lexi Petersen and Lexi Bando lead the Ducks in their last homestand and Alleyne found the double double mark for the first time in three games putting up 25 points and 15 rebounds. This team does not rely on one player, but multiple players who can give different looks whether it is getting the ball inside to Alleyne for two points and a rebound or going outside to Bando or Petersen who have both been on fire of late.

Jamee Swan and Kennedy Leonard lead Colorado averaging over 10 points per game each. Swan is also the key rebounder for the Buffs. Colorado is in the mire of a 7 game losing streak and would like nothing more than to tie Oregon at 1-6 in the Pac-12 Conference. The Buffs will have to play Defense to beat Oregon. The Ducks are average 75 points per game, Colorado comes into the matchup at 65 points.
