We didn't practice this week, makes a difference.
It was a series of events that created the fall off. Oregon St has always relied on defense, ball movement and outside 3pt shooting. Destiney Slocum was a major factor in the decline based purely on they type of player she is. Her first elegable preseason was spent incorerating her offensive talents into the offense. The time spent on that detracted from focus on the defense. Their defense really suffered. Slocum and Pivec are both on ball players and between the two of them the dominated the ball taking other players out of the offense. Separate they would not be a problem but together on the floor they dominated the ball. In both the last two seasons Oregon St under acheived.GarlandBear84 said:
I saw the last five minutes. We better jump UCLA in the polls. I'm curious why Oregon State has fallen off compared to how great they were when they beat us. The same coach is there.
