Sloppy starting plagues No. 8 Oregon in Blowout 78-62 Big Ten Tournament Defeat against No. 9 Indiana

In a game that only felt like March due to the date, Oregon Women's basketball could not be able to search many of the shortcomings that this team could bring into a short season.

The playman's game led to a stroll through sales and a flood of missed jumping shots. In the meantime, Indiana (19-11, 11-8 big ten) could not miss.

Even if so many things work against them from a “neutral location” game of less than an hour from the Indiana campus, the Ducks (19-11, 10-9 big ten) in the third quarter of their 78-62 big tournament loss against the Hoosiers within six.

Then the basic rock of Oregon's success was carried out this season when it was most important.

The ducks could not get a defense stops in the last minutes of the loss against No. 9 Hoosier. The defeat continued another problematic trend of a late slip for a team that was once one of the best in the country.

Any chance of the first post -season victory of the ducks disappeared in two years when eight sales collapsed to a boring drought in the second half.

Indiana will compete with No. 1 seed USC. It is the 10th year of the Hoosiers that reaches the quarter-finals of the Big Ten tournament.

Indiana will try to choose more of what it is successful on Thursday. Germinated by Yarden Garzon (18 points, 4-7 out of 3), the Hoosieers ended the game with an impressive 11-25 from the reach. Indiana is 9-0 this season when she scores 10-on more 3 goal.

Peyton Scott and EHIS Etute have achieved 16 and 14 points, But it was just not enough to overcome the beginning of the game – one who would not have worse the ducks.

Indiana was 5-10 of 3 before Oregon even tried a shot from range.

The ducks held things nearby by setting themselves on the offensive.

But Indiana made a 15-2 run in the fourth quarter and Oregon became a goalless two reservations for over four minutes, which contributed to the fact that the score became as one-sided as it was.

Kelly put together her team's problems and played a lot. She ended the game 2-11 from the field and was a non-factor on the track.

But a far greater problem was the defense, which from a constant to a serious question mark with the lack of Elisa Mevius-and had a hand surgery of the end of the season. The 3-point shootout in Indiana set up the lead, and the lackluster offensive and sales of the ducks helped consolidate the blowout.

The good news for the ducks? Oregon is still a safe participant in the NCAA tournament. Even with the loss, a 10 or 11 seeds probably seems for the ducks who will find out their fate on March 16.
