The Oregon Ducks Women’s Basketball team takes momentum on the road to face USC and UCLA.

Oregon is 2-0 and at the top of the Pac-12 Conference Standings taking a five-game winning streak on the road this weekend. First up, the USC Trojans. USC is averaging just 71 points per game and are in the middle of the Pac-12 with an 0-2 Conference start.

All of the momentum is on the side of the Oregon Ducks.

Sabrina Ionescu helped Head Coach Kelly Graves to his 500th Career win last Sunday with her 8th Career Triple-Double setting the All-Time mark in the NCAA as a Sophomore.

Kristen Simon is the player to watch for USC. She is averaging 17 points per game and helped lead the Trojans to a 10-1 mark during the Non-Conference schedule. USC has lost two straight games to open Pac-12 play. The Ducks are hitting 50 percent from the floor, and 40 percent from three-point range. The Trojans are hitting just 30 percent from beyond the arc as a team this season.

Jordan Adams gives USC experience at point guard. Adams was granted a sixth season of eligibility after a knee injury last season. She has worked her way back into the Starting Lineup for the Trojans.

The Oregon Ducks took care of business against USC last season with a sweep and have a three-game winning streak over the Trojans entering Friday’s matchup.

Kelly Graves has Oregon firing on all cylinders. The team is averaging close to 90 points per game, good enough for 4th Best in the Nation. The Oregon Ducks can’t get caught overlooking the USC Trojans. The second game of the weekend is at 16th ranked UCLA on Sunday.
