The Oregon women's basketball team made a strong impression in their 2025 NCAA tournament, securing an unexpected overtime victory against the higher-seeded Vanderbilt. Coach Kelly Graves emphasized the team's grit and resilience, which he noted has been a hallmark throughout the season. This victory not only reflects the skill and strategy of the Ducks but also highlights their ability to perform under pressure, establishing them as a competitive force in the tournament.
I'm just really proud of our team. Before the game, I talked about our grit and our toughness. I think that's the one defining characteristic we've had all year and we showed that late in the game with the defensive stops.
Pulling off a first-round upset of No. 7-seed Vanderbilt in overtime not only showcases the talent of the Oregon women's basketball team but also their determination and resilience in high-pressure situations.
