Continued from B3
“So she’s doing things that
you may not necessarily ap-
preciate all the time. But she
gets a lot of hands on balls.
That leads to tips, which lead
to steals.”
The 6-foot-2 Parrish is
fourth on the team in steals
(13) and fifth in rebound-
ing (3.1 rpg) coming off the
bench. She also averaged 15.0
points on 11-for-20 shooting
in the two meetings with the
Huskies this season.
Parrish said she played ner-
vous during the early part of
the season. After averaging 5.7
points on 6-for-15 shooting
over the first three games, she
scored 12 points on 5-for-9
shooting during Oregon’s 85-
43 victory over Utah.
The 11th-ranked Ducks
(11-3 overall, 9-3 Pac-12) play
the Utes (4-9, 3-9) in the re-
match on Friday in Salt Lake
City (2 p.m., Pac-12 Net-
works).
“I just got more comfortable
and my confidence just con-
tinued to grow,” Parrish said.
“I mean, my teammates have

“(Defending) was one of the downsides of our team at the
beginning, but we work really hard on defense in practice
and we make it a point to be better on defense. I think it has
been paying off. ”
— Sydney Parrish, Ducks freshman guard
more confidence in me, so it
just helped mine.”
Parrish credits guarding
Taylor Mikesell and other elite
shooters every day in practice
for her improved defense.
“That was one of the down-
sides of our team at the begin-
ning, but we work really hard
on defense in practice and we
make it a point to be better on
defense,” Parrish said. “I think
it has been paying off.”
Oregon, which is shoot-
ing 38.9% from the field and
23.5% on 3-pointers over the
last three games, has been
leaning on its team defense to
stay in the Pac-12 champion-
ship race.
Taylor Chavez, who led
the Pac-12 in 3-point shoot-
ing percentage last season at
47.4%, has been hesitant to
shoot and is only 6-for-17
(35.3%) behind the arc.
But the junior guard is still
going to be playing her share
of minutes as one of the key
contributors to the Ducks al-
lowing only 56.0 points per
game this season.
“We’re trying to get Tay-
lor Chavez on track because I
think she can give us a lot of
the intangibles that we need,”
Graves said. “Defensively she’s
done a nice job for us. She’s
played really well defensively.
I think that’s helped and is one
of the reasons why we are play-
ing better defensively.”
Two of Parrish’s classmates,
guard Maddie Scherr and for-
ward Kylee Watson, brought a
defensive mentality from high
school but have been limited
recently by injuries.
With Erin Boley and Nyara
Sabally sitting out, true fresh-
man forward Angela Dugalic

against Washington.
“Angela is still trying to fig-
ure it out, but she’s so long,”
Graves said. “I sat and watched
film with her (Tuesday) for
about a half-hour and I was
really impressed. … She has
a good understanding of de-
fensive positioning in a team
concept.”
Graves expects Boley (back)
to play and is hopeful Sabally
(ankle) will also be available
on Friday against Utah.
The return of 6-foot-7 for-
ward Sedona Prince, who had
16 points, seven rebounds and
five blocks against Washing-
ton, makes the game easier for
her teammates on both ends.
After the loss at Arizona on
Jan. 14, Graves warned that he
was going to go with a tighter
rotation.
Parrish and her teammates
have a clear understanding of
the message the coach was try-
ing to send.
“I think if I don’t play good
defense, then we’re not go-
ing to be on the floor,” Parrish
said. “That’s the reality of it.
You have to play good defense
to be on the court.”
SPORTS BRIEFING

Rockets top Blazers 104-101 — Victor Oladipo scored
Continued from B3
25 points and the Houston Rockets shook off a terrible first
quarter and held on late to beat the Portland Trail Blazers
104-101 on Thursday night. The Rockets were down by 20
points in the first quarter before using a big second to take
the lead and hold on down the stretch for their fourth straight
victory. A driving layup by Oladipo extended the lead to
101-98 with 26.2 seconds to go and Gary Trent Jr. missed a
layup on the other end. Christian Wood made one of two
free throws about 10 seconds later, before Anfernee Simons
cut the lead to one with a 3-pointer with 3.1 seconds remain-
ing. Eric Gordon made two free throws with 2.1 seconds to go
and Simons missed a shot at the buzzer to give Houston the
win. Wood finished with 22 points and 12 rebounds in his
return after missing three games with a sprained right ankle.
John Wall had 20. Damian Lillard had 30 points and nine as-
sists for Portland, and Trent added 23 points and tied a career
high by making seven 3-pointers. The Blazers continue a sev-
en-game road trip on Saturday in Chicago.
“Finding those similarities
with people who aren’t snow-
boarders or athletes, it opened
my world a bit more.”
When training resumed in
earnest this fall, Kim saw a
world vastly changed by the
coronavirus pandemic — her
trips now punctuated by quar-
antines and social distancing.
“It’s weird seeing someone
you haven’t seen in a year and
sorta giving them a fake air
hug,” she said.
In that way, she’s in the same
place as everyone else in her
sport — trying to adapt to a
new normal, in need of real
halfpipes and real competi-

tion to start the intense run-up
to the Beijing Olympics next
year.
But in so many other ways,
she’s unlike anyone else on the
snow.
She remains the only female
to land back-to-back 1080-de-
gree jumps in a competition
— a combo she landed even
though she didn’t need to to
punctuate the win on her ca-
reer-making day in Korea. To
her, that’s just a starting point
for the 2021 season and be-
yond.
“I definitely won’t be telling
anyone” what her newest trick
is, she said. “You just have to
tune in and see it. But the most
important thing is, we’re all
having fun out here.”
