Oregon Women’s Basketball: Ducks Extend Win Streak To 11 Games
Over the last two weeks, the Oregon Ducks have shown they can dominate the competition with double-digit wins and a now 11 game winning streak.
Satou Sabally is a big reason why Oregon has found success over the first month of Pac-12 play. She is averaging over 20 points per game and she is improving as she goes this season. She had just 8 points and 6 rebounds against Washington over the weekend, but Oregon used other weapons including Erin Boley who tied the mark for three-pointers in a game.
Boley was 9 for 13 from three-point range and finished with a team-high 31 points. Sabrina Ionescu struggled with her shot and was 5 for 16 from the floor. While there is never a good time for a players shot to go cold during the season, Ionescu will certainly rebound after a rough outing, and the Ducks other weapons have shown they can and will make a difference when they need to.

Oregon has not lost a game since playing at Michigan State in December and the Ducks have key wins against Mississippi State, a ranked Arizona State team and a sweep of the Washington Schools entering February.
The road ahead has a challenge from the start in a Utah team that is quickly rising. The Utah Utes bring a Top 15 matchup to Matthew Knight Arena on Friday as well as a battle for first place in the Pac-12 Conference. Oregon is undefeated in Pac-12 play and is among the National leaders in points per game.
Both teams meet on Friday with just a single loss on the season. Utah lost a game in Conference play over the last month, Oregon fell at Michigan State during non-conference play. The Ducks and Utes meet Friday night. Tipoff from Matthew Knight Arena is set for 7 pm PT.
