NEW YORK (AP) — It was a busy week for coach Kelly Graves and the Oregon Ducks. A win over previously unbeaten Mississippi State started off the fourth-ranked Ducks' week. Graves then sat out Oregon's next two games to serve a suspension for NCAA violations. While Graves sat out the wins over Air Force and UC Irvine, his team had no problem continuing to win, thanks in no small part to Sabrina Ionescu. The junior guard had back-to-back triple-doubles _ setting the NCAA record for men and women in the process.
