WBB recap: Big second quarter run propels Ducks into WNIT quarters

Oregon went on a 17-0 run in the second quarter and the Ducks defeated San Diego by 20 and advanced to the WNIT quarterfinals.

With Oregon shooting threes like it did tonight, even Stanford would have had a tough time beating the Ducks.

It wasn’t the Cardinal, but the San Diego Toreros that went down to Oregon 81-61 in the third round of the WNIT. The Ducks now advance to the quarterfinals on Sunday and will play either Washington or Kansas State.

For the game, Oregon was 14-of-32 from the three-point line with Ahlise Hurst leading the Ducks with 23 points on seven treys.

The Ducks also played tough defense for the entire 40 minutes and the Toreros never got their offense going. The members from the West Coast Conference shot just 33 percent from the field and 3-of-13 from long range.

Everything we know following the Ducks 68-59 win over Long Beach State

It was a grind, but the Ducks women’s basketball team came away with a nice 68-59 win over previously undefeated Long Beach State.

Missing three key players would be hard on any basketball team and the Oregon Ducks women’s basketball team is playing as hard as they can until they can get completely healthy.

But the games still need to be played and the Ducks were able to grind out a 68-59 victory over Long Beach State. Oregon improved to 5-3 overall, while the 49ers lost their first game of the season and fell to 7-1.

Oregon will be a very different team when point guard Te-Hina Paopao, guard Endiya Rogers, and forward Nyara Sabally return. Until then, every game is going to be a 40-minute battle.

With the victory, the Ducks have won two straight with their win over Portland last week. Oregon will just have less than 48 hours before its next game as the Ducks will host McNeese Dec. 13.
