Last time out vs Cal, Sabrina Ionescu hit the game-winning basket as time ran out in January. This is another winnable game for the Oregon Ducks who have won four of their last five games at home aside from a competitive contest against Oregon State in the Civl War to close out the month of January.
Ruthy Hebard, Sabrina Ionescu and Lexi Bando are averaging over 10 points per game each for Oregon entering the home stretch. Hebard is an inside presence pushing 15 points per game. Ionescu is averaging 14 points and multiple double doubles as a Freshman.
For California, Kristine Anigwe is the player to watch averaging over 20 points per game this season. Courtney Range is also hitting over 30 percent from beyond the arc averaging 10 points per game. Defensively Cal averages 7 steals per game and over 14 points off opponent turnovers. This could be an area to watch on Friday.
The Oregon Ducks and Cal Bears tipoff at 6pm Pacific Time from Matthew Knight Arena.
