The Oregon women’s basketball team flew to the Bahamas, but it’s not for vacation.
For the first time ever, eight women’s basketball teams will compete in the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament with the Ducks being matched up with Oklahoma. Tip-off is scheduled for 2 p.m. PT.
The Sooners are 3-0, but they’ve been tested by teams such as South Dakota (73-71) and Arkansas State (101-89). Oregon is 2-0 and Oklahoma will be its first test after two easy wins over Idaho State and Dixie State. Unfortunately, the Ducks will have to go without point guard Te-Hina Paopao, who is still nursing an injury. Head Coach Kelly Graves is hoping she’ll be ready for conference action at the end of December.
Should Oregon get past the Sooners, No. 1 South Carolina is most likely the next opponent unless Buffalo pulls off the major upset.
The Battle 4 Atlantis can be streamed on FloHoops.com for a price of $29.99. ESPN2 will be televising the championship game on Monday.
