The Oregon Ducks Women’s Basketball team will seek their third straight win over a ranked UCLA team.

If you look at the overall record, both the Oregon Ducks and UCLA Bruins are very similar. Oregon is 12-5, the Bruins are 12-4. A win by Oregon on Sunday would put Oregon at 3-3 in Pac-12 play and give the Ducks their third straight win. The losses, although hard to watch due to the amount of turnovers have been reversed with the return of Sabrina Ionescu and Maite Cazorla to the lineup.

The Oregon Ducks are also a win from being 3-1 on a grueling four-game road trip at the Start of Pac-12 play. Ionescu, along with Ruthy Hebard lead the team in scoring. Oregon will face a difficult challenge at Pauley Pavillion. The UCLA Bruins have won the last 21 straight games at home, including an impressive 13 straight victories over Pac-12 opponents, most recently over Oregon State earlier this week.

Oregon has been streaky in their wins, finishing off USC on Friday on several double-digit runs while holding off the Trojans. The Ducks were down by 16 at the half and came back to win at USC for the first time since 2010.
