NCAA WOMEN’S TOURNAMENT
Oregon reaches 1st women’s Final Four
By ANNE M. PETERSON
Associated Press
P
ORTLAND
—
Thanks to another
stellar performance
from Sabrina Ionescu and
a lift from a home-state
crowd, Oregon is heading to
its fi rst women’s Final Four.
Ionescu had 31 points,
eight assists and seven
rebounds, and the sec-
ond-seeded Ducks beat No.
1 seed Mississippi State
88-84 on Saturday.
Satou Sabally had 22
points and seven rebounds
for the Ducks (33-4), who
head to Tampa to face the
winner of today’s game
between top overall seed
Baylor and Iowa.
At the fi nal buzzer,
Ionescu jumped into team-
mate Ruthy Hebard’s arms,
and coach Kelly Graves
fl ashed an “O’’ with his
hands to the crowd. The
Ducks had been eliminated
in the Elite Eight the past
two seasons.
Teaira McCowan had 19
points and 15 rebounds in
her fi nal game for the Bull-
dogs (33-3), who had played
in the NCAA title game for
the past two seasons. Two
of Mississippi State’s losses
this season were to Oregon,
and the fi rst one was a true
road game.
This time, Mississippi
State just felt like the away

team, even though the Bull-
dogs wore their home whites.
Attendance at the Moda
Center was announced at
11,534, with the vast major-
ity cheering on the Ducks —
a tough draw for a top seed.
Ionescu’s jumper put
Oregon up 78-73 with just
under three minutes left.
After McCowan made a
pair of free throws, Ionescu
added a 3.
Bre’Amber Scott’s layup
with 54 seconds left pulled
the Bulldogs within 81-77,
but Maite Cazorla answered
with a 3-pointer for the
Ducks. Jazzmun Holmes’
jumper cut the margin to fi ve
points with 26.4 seconds to
go, but Mississippi State
could not catch up.
Oregon also beat Mis-
sissippi State in Decem-
ber, ending the Bulldogs’
streak of 46 consecutive reg-
ular-season nonconference
wins.
Ionescu averaged 19.6
points, 8.3 assists and 7.5
rebounds going into Sun-
day’s game. The Pac-12
Player of the year has 18
career triple-doubles, an
NCAA record among men
and women, including eight
this season.
The Bulldogs went up
15-8 early, but Sabally hit
a 3-pointer that closed the
gap as Oregon relied on its
perimeter game. Ionescu’s 3
tied it at 19, but the Bulldogs
had free throws to make it
21-19 at the end of the fi rst
quarter.
The Ducks hit fi ve of
eight 3-pointers in the open-
ing period alone.
Oregon pulled in front
30-27 on Cazorla’s 3-pointer
in the second quarter. The
Ducks led 40-38 at the
break. Ionescu led all scor-
ers with 15 points, including
three 3-pointers.
Hebard was tasked with
guarding McCowan, but she
collected a pair of fouls and
went to the bench midway
through the second quar-
ter. But she opened the sec-
ond half with a layup, and
Ionescu added another to
give the Ducks a 44-38 lead.
Andra
Espinoza-Hunter
made a 3-pointer to close the
gap.
Oregon held the edge
until Howard’s layup put the
Bulldogs in front 54-53.
Mississippi State got
a scare late in the quarter
when McCowan went down
hard on a layup attempt and
stayed on the fl oor for sev-
eral moments. She went to
the bench holding the right
side of her chest.
Fuehring, Durr lead Louisville past Oregon State
By JOHN KEKIS
Associated Press
ALBANY, N.Y. — Sam Fuehring and
Asia Durr each had 17 points and top-seeded
Louisville clamped down on defense again,
beating No. 4 Oregon State 61-44 on Fri-
day night to reach the Elite Eight.
Oregon State (26-8), 0-3 against Lou-
isville, sputtered in the third quarter to fall
behind by 16 and couldn’t recover in the
rematch of a regional fi nal last year that
Louisville won by 33. The Beavers shot
30.4 percent (17 of 56), just above their
season low
Mikayla Pivec, who entered the game
averaging 19.5 points in the tournament
for Oregon State, fi nished with 17 points,
the only player in double fi gures for the
Beavers, who matched their season low in
points.
Oregon State trailed 30-23 at halftime
despite shooting 2 of 13 from long range
and allowing six 3s at the other end. But
the Beavers missed their fi rst six shots of
the decisive third quarter and committed
two quick turnovers, scoring just one point
in seven minutes as the Cardinals began to
slowly pull away. Consecutive baskets by
Durr and a steal and layup by Dana Evans
boosted the lead to 44-28 after three.
Oregon State had 30 turnovers in its
two tournament victories and a negative
turnover margin, but the Beavers commit-
ted just 12, allowing nine points from the
mistakes.
