USC Women Lose Out To Hot-Handed No. 5 Oregon
January 11, 2019 | Women's Basketball, Features
Three Trojans hit double figures in USC’s third straight game against a ranked foe.
LOS ANGELES, CALIF. — The USC women's basketball team came up against a sharp-shooting No. 5 Oregon squad in a Pac-12 clash at Galen Center tonight. The Ducks shot over 50 percent from the floor and landed 13 threes to rack up a final 93-53 win over the host Trojans. USC goes to 10-5 overall and to 0-4 in Pac-12 play, while Oregon improves to 14-1, 3-0.
The Ducks had the hot hand in the first half, hitting at a 50 percent clip while the Trojans were coming up cold at 19 percent. That accounted for Oregon's surge to a 41-18 halftime advantage, with Satou Sabally and Sabrina Ionescu in double digits for the Ducks by the break. Oregon would fire up further to 60 percent in the third while nailing five 3-pointers, and the Ducks would stay the course to finish out with 13 threes made and a 54 percent effort from the floor. Oregon was 45 percent from beyond the arc and outrebounded USC 36-34. USC wrapped the game at 29.1 percent from the floor and hit five threes overall.
USC received a team-high 16 points from Aliyah Mazyck, who is now 10 points away from hitting the 1,000 point mark in her USC career. Ja'Tavia Tapley added 13 points, and Mariya Moore had 11 while hitting three threes for the Trojan cause. Tapley and Kayla Overbeck led USC with seven rebounds apiece. For Oregon, Satou Sabally scored 26 point, Sabrina Ionescu finished with 17, Taylor Chaves had 14, Ruthy Hebard scored 23, and Taylor Chavez had 10. Sabally dropped five 3-pointers all on her own, and Chavez nailed four for the Ducks.
Oregon came out firing while the Trojans went dry from the floor. After an early bucket from Kayla Overbeck, USC would hit only free throws for the next stretch while the Ducks moved out ahead 18-7. Jillian Archer struck from the paint in the final minute to give the Trojans a boost, but Oregon would grip a 21-9 lead after 10 minutes of action. The Ducks's firepower stayed on point in the next stretch while USC continued to falter from the floor, and Oregon led it 41-18 by halftime. In the third, Oregon crafted a 15-0 run and would click off five 3-pointers while building out a 70-34 advantage. Ja'Tavia Tapley would convert a three-point play for the Trojans late in the frame. In the fourth, USC's Mariya Moore would run her 3-point tally out to three treys landed with two more dropped, and Aliyah Mazyck struck from beyond the arc as well to give USC a lift. Moore's third three had it at 84-48 Oregon with 4:10 to go. Oregon's hot hands would keep striking, however, with Oregon following up Tapley's 13th points of the night by drilling back-to-back 3-pointers to run their game tally to 13 makes from distance. Mazyck hit another next, but USC was in a deep 92-53 hole entering the final minute.
Next up for the Trojans is another Pac-12 battle with another ranked opponent. Oregon State comes to the Galen Center on Sunday (Jan. 13) for a 12 p.m. faceoff at USC.
