The Oregon Ducks picked up their first Pac-12 Conference Road win against Colorado on Friday and it was the Ducks Defense that was the difference holding the Buffs to just 31 percent for the game. The team will now look to take that positive momentum into Utah to take on the Utes on Sunday. Oregon started out slow against Colorado going 1 for 7 to start the game, but came back for the win. A sluggish start will not help against Utah.
The Utes come into the game at 12-6 and 3-4 in the Pac-12 Conference. Oregon started the season undefeated in the non-conference slate, but have built some confidence following and 0-5 Conference start. Jillian Alleyne has returned to form as a double double machine the last two games for the Oregon Ducks and both Lexi Petersen and Lexi Bando have found their stroke from three point range.
Utah comes in winners of 7 of their last 10 and have won 9 of their 10 games at home this season, their lone loss was to Oregon State on Thursday. Sophomore Emily Potter leads the Utes with over 14 points and close to 8 Defensive rebounds per game. The Utes have scorers all over the floor, but then again, when Oregon is on, so do the Ducks.
