Oregon hands No. 21 USC women their 2nd straight Big Ten loss

LOS ANGELES — The problem first surfaced on Saturday against UCLA. And it revealed itself again on Tuesday night against Oregon.

USC women’s basketball coach Lindsay Gottlieb is frustrated with her team’s lack of competitive drive, which ultimately led to a fourth-quarter breakdown and a 71-66 loss to the Ducks at the Galen Center.

“I’m not sure that our players completely understand the level that needs to shift when you’re that displeased with something,” Gottlieb said after the loss.
