Oregon women's basketball suffered a significant loss to Utah Tech, trailing 55-38 at halftime and ultimately losing 92-86. Utah Tech's exceptional performance, making 21 three-pointers, contributed to this being the worst nonconference loss in terms of RPI/NET during Kelly Graves' era. This defeat caused Oregon to drop from 86 to 97 in NET rankings. It marked the most three-pointers made against Oregon in Kelly Graves' tenure as head coach and the most allowed by a Power 5 team since 2018. This loss is the worst nonconference loss of Kelly Graves' 10 seasons, leading to a drop from 11th to 57th in Power 5+Big East rankings. Oregon's women's basketball team had not lost a nonconference game versus RPI/NET 200+ since 2012. The defeat is significant as it is tied for the second-most in DI women's basketball this season and the most by an Oregon opponent since at least 2001-02.
