It seems like Arizona State gives Oregon fits whenever the two teams meet up. It doesn’t matter who is on the roster. Even the team that had Sabrina Ionescu, Satou Sabally, and Ruthy Hebard had trouble with the Sun Devils.
Today wasn’t any different as these Ducks had to scratch and claw for everything they got. But Oregon was able to answer every potential rally from Arizona State to come out with a 72-58 victory in a game that was a make-up contest from Jan. 13.
Nyara Sabally dominated on the inside with 22 points and six rebounds with Te-Hina Paopao adding 19 points, six rebounds, and six assists.
Ironically, only Endyia Rogers with USC was the only Duck to have played ASU in a game. But they got plenty of experience today and they’ll need that experience as the two teams are scheduled to meet again in five days in Tempe.
Oregon is now 14-5 overall and 7-1 in conference action. The Ducks haven’t lost since that setback to Stanford Jan. 7.
