This has been one heck of a weekend for Oregon hoops.
The Oregon women’s basketball team capped off an amazing few days with a 72-59 victory over No. 9 UConn in front of 9,439 fans inside Matthew Knight Arena.
Both men’s and women’s teams took down two Top 10 teams in the span of five days with the Duck men sweeping No. 3 UCLA and No. 5 USC with the women upsetting No. 7 Arizona and now the Huskies.
Oregon is finally playing like the pre-season Top 10 team it was billed to be now that the Ducks have a full roster. But nerves played a factor early on as UConn scored the first 10 points of the game. Once Oregon settled down, it was all Ducks with Te-Hina Paopao leading the way with 22 points and eight rebounds.
