Oregon holding for last possession

She gets it -- and Oregon leads 34-33 on half on a horrendous mental error. Gotta bounce back from that.

Quite a few of them have been wide open.

The bottom line is: Juicy and especially Chloe have got to start contributing

Shoot or make baskets?

She's taken 4 shots and missed all of them. We can't win without her making a few baskets here.

And why are these refs letting Kalani and Lauren to constantly get mugged under the basket and not call fouls???

Key swings like that 4-point play often decide ball games.

Bears just need to keep their focus, keep pounding it inside, keep playing the kind of defense they have been (and turn it up a notch) and the Ducks eventually will run out of gas.

Not that worried. I see a double-digit win when all this is said and done.

Ionescu may get hers. But we'll get ours.

She acts like she has loss her confidence and continues to pass it off. Those refs are not going to give us any breaks

Sick of Oregon's moving screens not being called
Sick of the blond commentator's major obsession with Ionescu
Sick of giving them wide open 3s

Team Shooting: Baylor 48.3%, Oregon 39.4%. Team Rebounds: Baylor 19, Oregon 17. A lower scoring game favors the Baylor Lady Bears.

If anyone else recalls, in 2016 OreSt took the lead at the half on a 3 set up by a blatant moving screen by two Beavers.

And that was a major flop by SI after the shot.
