Oregon women’s basketball sneaks back into the Top 25

With wins over Cal and UCLA plus a narrow defeat to No. 2 Stanford, the Ducks women’s basketball team finds itself ranked once again.

There’s that Oregon-Georgia connection again.

It’s not on the gridiron, however. This time is in women’s basketball as the two teams have tied for the No. 25 spot in the latest Associated Press poll.

The Ducks were out of the Top 25 last week, but with wins over UCLA and California plus a very close loss to No. 2 Stanford, those results were good enough to have Oregon sneak in.

At 18-9 overall and 10-5 in conference action, Oregon is on the bubble to host the first two rounds of the NCAA tournament. A win over the Cardinal would have solidified the Ducks hosting, but now they most likely have some work to do this weekend at the Mountain schools and then in the Pac-12 tournament next week in Las Vegas.
