Oregon entered the game against Utah on a two game winning streak with confidence building from the first whistle this season. The Ducks began the year 11-0 in the non-conference slate before starting Pac-12 play 0-5. The concern of years past and a let-up appears to be left behind following a big win on the road. Oregon swept a road series for the first time since the 2008 season.d
Kelly Graves watched his team start the game hitting 6 of 10 from the floor and Jillian Alleyne found another double double with 26 points and 12 rebounds. She led four players in double figures. Kat Cooper had 12, Lexi Bando had 15 and Lexi Petersen also found the basket with 18 points. It was an off balance night for a usually balanced Utah Utes squad. It also marked the second time this season that Utah fell at home, they lost last week to Oregon State. The Oregon Ducks showed off some personality following a win at Utah having some fun in the Utah snow and tagging Graves with snowballs.
