EUGENE, Ore. —
The Oregon women's basketball team was in major need of an offensive reboot after falling to Colorado on Friday, but such a tall task wouldn't come easy against the 7th-ranked Utah Utes.

Oregon came out strong, but Utah turned up the heat and went on an 11-0 run, taking a six-point lead at the half.
In the third, both teams went back and forth, scoring bucket after bucket.
When Oregon pulled ahead, Utah responded the very next possession.
Heading into the fourth, the Ducks were playing catch-up yet again, and despite Endiya Rogers’ 35-point performance, the Ducks fell short, 100-92.
