DUCKS DROP OUT OF AP POLL
After being ranked No. 25 last week in the AP top-25 poll, its first time in the national rankings since Dec. 15, 2003, Oregon dropped out of the rankings following a 2-1 week, including a loss at Ole Miss.

OREGON'S LAST GAME
The Oregon women used a career night from Ruthy Hebard and a dominant second quarter to break open the game on their way to a 90-46 victory over Portland State on Saturday evening in the Moda Center. Up 22-19 after the first quarter, the Ducks doubled their total in the second quarter while allowing just five points on 2-of-16 shooting by PSU to take a 44-24 lead into halftime. Hebard continued a strong nonconference season and had 20 points with 12 rebounds at the break, scoring 11 points during the second quarter. PSU was within 30-24 midway through the second quarter when the Ducks pulled away. Lexi Bando hit a three-pointer, then Hebard scored on back-to-back trips. A three-point play for Hebard made it 40-24, she scored again late in the quarter and Bando finished with a flourish, slashing across the lane and banking in a left-handed shot that made it 44-24. Oregon's defensive momentum extended into the third quarter, in which the Viks went just 1-of-15. For the game Oregon shot .551 (38-69) while holding Portland State to .269 (18-of-67). Hebard, who came into the night No. 1 in the country in field-goal shooting at .794, made 12-of-13 attempts in the game and finished with career highs of 28 points and 17 rebounds. Bando added 15 points on 6-of-13 shooting, including a trio of three-pointers. Justine Hall continues to make a smooth transition off her redshirt season, as she shot 5-of-7 for 12 points Saturday. "When we really set our mind to it offensively, we executed really well," Kelly Graves said. "We got the ball to the right people. I'm really disappointed in Ruthy (laughs); she missed a shot tonight. She'll be running some extra lines tomorrow."

MANY SEEING MINUTES
The Ducks have played every healthy and/or eligible players in all 11 games thus far. Justine Hall, after transferring from Purdue midseason a year ago, made her debut at Clemson while Lydia Giomi, Jayde Woods and Sabrina Ionescu are all dealing with injuries. No player is averaging more than 26 minutes per game. Maite Cazorla leads the team, averaging 25.4 minutes per game. 11 players are averaging 10+ minutes per game.

FIRST TRIPLE-DOUBLE SINCE 1988
In the Ducks' 91-62 win over San Jose State on Nov. 27, freshman Sabrina Ionescu tallied Oregon's first triple-double since Stefanie Kasperski did it in 1988. In just her seventh game, Ionescu scored 11 points to go with 12 rebounds and 11 assists. It was the fifth triple-double ever for the Ducks.

IONESCU'S SECOND TRIPLE DOUBLE
Sabrina Ionescu tallied her second triple-double of the season and her second in a three-game stretch against Clemson on Dec. 12. The freshman scored 23 points to go with 12 rebounds and 10 assists. She shot 8-of-17 from the field and 5-of-7 from three-point range.

THE NEW TALL FIRS?
With six players standing 6-foot-3 or taller, the Ducks are tied with Kansas State and Texas for the tallest roster in Div. I women's basketball this season. Oregon's tallest player is 6-foot-6 freshman forward Lydia Giomi from West Seattle, Wash. She is the tallest player on the Oregon roster in 10 years (Jessie Shetters, 6-foot-6, 2003-07).

NON-CONFERENCE RECORD UNDER GRAVES
Head coach Kelly Graves is 27-6 in non-conference games in his two-plus seasons at Oregon. The Ducks had won 16 straight non-conference games before falling to No. 7 ranked Mississippi State earlier this season in Hawaii. Oregon went 11-0 in non-league play last year.
