Oregon lets one slip away at No. 25 Washington
The Oregon Ducks overcame an early 14-point deficit to position themselves to defeat No. 25 Washington, but faltered down the stretch in a women’s basketball game Sunday night.
The Ducks trailed by two with 3:47 remaining but went scoreless the rest of the way and lost 51-43 at Alaska Airlines Arena in Seattle.
Turnovers and poor shooting doomed the Ducks in the final minutes after the Huskies cranked up their defensive pressure.
Washington held Oregon to fewer than 10 points in three of the four quarters.
The night began ominously for the Ducks, who fell behind 17-3 in the first quarter. But they dominated the second quarter, 19-5, to lead 28-27 at halftime.
Oregon made 9 of 14 shots (64.3%) in the second quarter while holding the Huskies to 2-of-13 shooting (15.4%).
But the poor shooting that hurt the Ducks in the first quarter returned in the entire second half.
The Ducks were outscored 10-6 in the third quarter and 14-9 in the fourth.
All told, the Ducks shot 30.9% from the field, went 1 of 10 from beyond the arc and committed 18 turnovers.
Oregon stars Katie Fiso and Mia Jacobs combined to shoot 3 of 24 from the field for nine points.
WHAT IT MEANS
Oregon (18-9, 6-8) fell to 1-6 against teams currently ranked in the top 25. The Ducks will get another shot at Washington (19-7, 9-6) at home on Mar. 1.
TOP PERFORMERS

Brentford XI vs Macclesfield – Predicted lineup and team news
Brentford travel to face non-league Macclesfield on Monday night while they aim to avoid becoming the latest victim of the competition’s ultimate giant-killers.
The Bees moved into the top seven of the Premier League after a string of impressive results, including a recent 1–1 draw against leaders Arsenal. Manager Keith Andrews oversaw a comfortable 2–0 victory over Sheffield Wednesday in the third round to reach this stage. Notably, there are 122 league places between these two sides. A victory tonight would see Brentford reach the fifth round for only the second time in nearly two decades.
Brentford Team News
Keith Andrews navigates a demanding schedule that necessitates rotation. Notably, he is likely to name talisman Igor Thiago among the substitutes to preserve fitness. Consequently, 19-year-old Kaye Furo is poised to lead the attack. This could mark his professional debut. Nathan Collins returns to the heart of the defence after a period on the bench. Conversely, Kevin Schade misses out through suspension. Long-term absentees Fábio Carvalho and Josh Dasilva also remain unavailable.
Hakon Valdimarsson starts in goal. He provides Caoimhín Kelleher a well-earned rest after recent Premier League heroics. Nathan Collins partners Ethan Pinnock in a formidable central defensive pairing. In midfield, Yehor Yarmolyuk and Jordan Henderson control the tempo alongside Mikkel Damsgaard. Further forward, Romelle Donovan and Reiss Nelson provide the threat from wide areas. Notably, Brentford have never faced non-league opposition as a top-flight side in the FA Cup.
Brentford Predicted Lineup
Brentford predicted XI: Valdimarsson; Hickey, Collins, Pinnock, Henry; Yarmolyuk, Henderson, Damsgaard; Donovan, Furo, Nelson
When will the match kick off?
The FA Cup fourth-round tie takes place at the Leasing.com Stadium on Monday, 16 February 2026. Kick-off is scheduled for 19:30 GMT.
How to Watch Macclesfield vs Brentford?
The match will be broadcast live in the UK on TNT Sports 1 and TNT Sports Ultimate. Coverage begins at 19:00 GMT.

Ødegaard hyller Klæbo: – Har vært utrolig
Utenfor fotballbanen er landslagskaptein Martin Ødegaard en ivrig idrettstilhenger. Fra OL følger han spesielt med på langrenn.
Det er i en statusmelding på Arsenals nettsted at Ødegaard forteller om OL-interessen. Ødegaard har hatt en liten skadeperiode i det siste og mistet flere kamper.
– Utenom fotball, og som nordmann, har jeg fulgt vinter-OL. Jeg har ikke fått sett altfor mye av det som følge av at vi her trent mye, men jeg har fulgt med på resultatene, spesielt i langrenn. Det er gøy å se at det er mange norske vinnere, innleder han.
Deretter kommer han med en hyllest av Johannes Høsflot Klæbo, som søndag ble tidenes vinterolympier med sitt niende gull. Meldingen ble lagt ut før det skjedde.
– Klæbo har vært utrolig. Helt fantastisk.
– Hele landet stiller alltid opp for Norge i OL. Det er veldig stort hjemme, spesielt skisporten, og det er noe jeg alltid så på da jeg vokste opp, uttaler Ødegaard. (NTB)
