In the win over the Terrapins, the Ducks were led by forward Ehis Etute’s 20 points and 10 rebounds. Etute was also phenomenal on the defensive end for the Ducks, recording three blocks and a steal. Oregon guards Katie Fiso (14 points) and Avary Cain (13 points) also scored in double figures for the Ducks in the win. To upset the Wolverines on Friday night, Etute, Fiso, and Cain all look to make an impact offensively for the Ducks.

Throughout this season, Oregon has gone through its fair share of highs and lows. After a strong 12-1 start to the season, conference play for the Ducks featured a roller coaster of results. Oregon finished the regular season with an 8-10 record in Big Ten play, and following Thursday’s second-round matchup win over Maryland, the Ducks sit at 22-11 overall on the season.

The Ducks' quarterfinal matchup against Michigan is set to be the second meeting between the two teams this season. The Ducks and Wolverines first met on Dec. 29, in which Michigan won a 92-87 double-overtime thriller over Oregon.  

In that game, Michigan was led by guard Syla Swords, who scored 18 points, seven rebounds, and four assists in the double overtime win. Entering Friday night’s quarterfinal matchup, the Ducks' defense against Swords will be critical in their effort to upset the Wolverines. 

Guard Olivia Olson is another player that the Ducks need to lock down, as she leads the Wolverines in scoring, averaging 19.6 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 2.7 assists. Michigan is the No. 3 seed in the Big Ten Tournament and enters Friday night’s matchup as one of the top teams in the country with a 24-5 overall record and went 15-3 during Big Ten play.

The winner of Friday night’s quarterfinal matchup will advance to the semifinals to take on either the No. 2-seeded Iowa Hawkeyes or the No. 10-seeded Illinois Fighting Illini on Saturday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana.

While Oregon is projected to be a No. 8 seed in the NCAA Tournament, according to ESPN's Charlie Creme's latest bracketology projections, an upset win over Michigan could improve the Ducks' seed line when the bracket is revealed on Mar. 15.
