Oregon senior guard Brandi Davis has been named U.S. Bank Pacific-10 Conference Women’s Basketball Player of the Week for Jan. 24-30.
The La Habra, Calif., native averaged
21 points and 2.5 rebounds in a combined
52 minutes of play off the bench as Oregon swept the Southern California schools at home.
For the weekend, she shot 51.9 percent from the field (14-of-27) and 47.6 percent from behind the three-point line (10-of-21), propelling the Ducks to a 6-0 conference record at home.
In Oregon’s 78-71 victory over UCLA on Jan. 27, Davis came off the bench to score a career-high 28 points on 10 of 19 shooting, including 6-of-13 from three-point range in
27 minutes of play. Davis’ first points came with 3:13 left in the first half, scoring the Ducks’ final 11 points of the half to give Oregon a 33-31 advantage heading into intermission. In the second half, with the Ducks up by one, Davis hit a pair of three-pointers and made a layup, giving Oregon a 10-point lead with 8:14 left, a lead they would never relinquish.
In the Ducks’ 81-59 win over USC on Jan. 29, Davis again came off the bench to score
14 points on 4 of 8 shooting from beyond the
three-point line.
The weekly honor is the first of Davis’ career and the second for the Ducks this season. Oregon senior Andrea Bills received the award for the week of Dec. 30.
