PORTLAND, Ore. — When Oti Gildon and Maite Cazorla stepped foot on the Oregon campus as freshmen in the fall of 2015, neither one thought the Oregon women’s basketball program would ever step foot on a stage as big as the NCAA Tournament regionals. 

PORTLAND, Ore. — Last year in Columbus, Ohio, Sabrina Ionescu sat in the stands and watched as four teams played for the national title. She was there to pick up an award. She couldn’t help but think about how she was so close to being one of those players on the court.

PORTLAND, Ore. — When Oregon women’s basketball made the Sweet 16 two seasons ago, the Ducks were the underdogs. A 10-seed up against a three-seed Maryland team that had expected it would play No. 2 Duke. Instead playing a young Ducks team craving a third straight upset.

December was a turning point for Oregon women’s basketball.

Indiana was down 15 points to the No. 2 seeded Oregon Ducks with just under a minute to play in the third quarter.
