AZ is super athletic. Ducks can't handle it.

Beavs are playing Arizona this week, correct? Maybe not really the team you want to play after a long layoff. Gotta be ready for their defensive pressure.
Oregon is missing their Big 3 a whole lot more than some of their fans were willing to admit at the beginning of the season.

They seemed to think it was them and Stanford on their first tier, but UCLA and Arizona have put an end to that a little bit. Great rebound win for the cats, and will be a tough welcome back for OSU |

Did not see the first Quarter , but from 2nd Quarter on, the game was pretty sloppy for both teams. Not really good defense either , just a lot of sloppy passing and poor ball handling !
I think that the ducks and graves demonstrated the issue that most teams have with major player turnover and having 5 star athletes on the floor and on the bench ... they did not appear to be working together at all on offense and even with a size advantage , there was no effort to go after offensive rebounds.
Not a fun game to watch or to have to call on TV !

Methinks Graves suffers from a gluttony of recruiting. He's paranoid about having a mass defection at the end of the season so he's giving everyone time on court. Which means that there is no continuity in the game. The only person who didn't get 10+ minutes in the game was Giomi. If he's really going to stick with this he needs to use Charli's squad system so people get used to playing with each other. This constant churning is death to team play.

Graves has a very talented roster top to bottom, but it makes it difficult to form really good chemistry and continuity when doing they hockey-style substitutions. Doesn’t really matter when they play lesser competition, but it does against better teams. It’s easier said than done though, because their players aren’t really differentiating themselves. As great as it is to have a done of depth, I think it’s more important to have a strong core. |

The mighty ducks what are they 3 of last 5 games losses. I repeat you have to be out coached by the ducks to lose to them. Its a team sport they are not as good as advertised.
Main key to Arizona attack is a man to man defense. Hurt the ducks at point of attack you got them!
Unfortunately we couldnt. We couldn't stop there point guard.
One last point on Arizona. My daughter played bball growing up. I taught her to use your left hand with lay ups against right handed defenders. For some reason with girls they have a harder time defending left handed girls then right. I noticed that 3 of Arizona's top 7 girls are left handed girls. This can present a problem even at the college level.
