EUGENE — Oregon women’s basketball’s front court will get a contributor back in the rotation, likely this week.
The No. 3 Ducks swept Oregon State last week without forwards Lydia Giomi and Lucy Cochrane due to the flu and a back injury, respectively, according to Oregon coach Kelly Graves, who is optimistic Giomi will be back for this week’s three-game road trip to Utah, Colorado and next Monday at No. 4 UConn.
“Lydia was just out all week with the flu,” Graves said on The James Crepea Show on Fox Sports Eugene Monday afternoon. “She didn’t get to practice much. We had a fairly intricate defensive game plan for the Beavers and she wasn’t privy to some of it. She was there in case of emergency. She’s still a big part of what we’re doing. I anticipate she’s going to be healthy this week and right back in that rotation. She’s been important to us, been playing really well.”
Giomi is averaging career-bests with 4.5 points and 3.1 rebounds as Oregon’s top forward off the bench.
Cochrane, a freshman, is averaging 1.9 points and 1.7 rebounds but has missed six straight games.
“Lucy’s got a bad back,” Graves said. “She’s just trying to get that stronger and get back. I’m assuming that at some point we will get her back.”
Guard Morgan Yaeger was suited up for both games last weekend but didn’t play in either, eight straight she’s missed.
“Hopefully we’ll be at full strength here soon,” Graves said. “Until then, we’re going with a small lineup a little bit and it’s been pretty successful for us.”
