It all comes down to making shots and tonight, No. 2 Stanford found and made nearly every shot it wanted while Oregon struggled to find open shooters.
The Oregon Ducks women’s basketball team made a couple of small runs at the Cardinal, but Stanford eventually came out with an 80-68 win over Oregon. It was the Ducks’ first conference loss on the season.
Oregon didn’t have an answer for Lexie Hull, who lit up the Ducks for a career-high 33 points on 7-of-10 shooting from three-point range.
Nyara Sabally, Endyia Rogers and Te-Hina Paopao did their best to keep their team in it, and in the fourth quarter, Oregon had a couple of chances to cut the Stanford lead to five or even four, but it wasn’t to be.
