Preview: Michigan Wolverines at Oregon Ducks EUGENE, Ore. (Interstat) — A top-15 nonconference clash highlights the holiday week as the Michigan women’s basketball team visits the Oregon Ducks on Monday at Matthew Knight Arena. The Wolverines (10-1), riding a nine-game win streak, face their toughest test since a November loss to Connecticut. Michigan has dominated its schedule, winning its last four games by an average of 41.5 points. Their offense has been prolific, scoring 97 and 104 points in their last two outings. Oregon (12-2) looks to rebound after a 64-53 road loss at Stanford last Sunday, which snapped a three-game win streak. The Ducks have been strong at home, boasting a perfect 7-0 record in Eugene this season. The matchup features two of the Big Ten’s emerging stars. Michigan is led by guard Olivia Olson, who enters in stellar form. Over her last four games, Olson is averaging 21.5 points, including a 23-point performance in just 25 minutes in Sunday’s rout of Oakland. Oregon will counter with forward Ehis Etute, a consistent force in the paint. Etute averages 12.2 points and 7.2 rebounds per game and posted a double-double (14 points, 9 rebounds) in the loss at UCLA earlier this month. Michigan’s defense has been stifling, holding opponents to 52.5 points per game during its streak. Oregon’s defense has been similarly formidable, allowing just 56.1 points per game overall. This game serves as a final high-profile tune-up before both teams dive into the heart of their Big Ten schedules in January. For the Wolverines, it’s a chance to solidify their top-10 standing with a road win against a ranked opponent. For the Ducks, it’s an opportunity to secure a signature victory and regain momentum. Tipoff is set for 9 p.m. EST Monday. Michigan opens conference play at Washington on Jan. 1, while Oregon hosts Northwestern on the same date.
