SAN DIEGO – The San Diego women's basketball program (19-13, 11-7 WCC) travels to Eugene, Ore., to face Oregon (19-14, 7-11 PAC-12) and compete in the Women's National Invitation Tournament (WNIT) Super 16, for the first time since 2016 on Thursday night.
 
LAST TIME OUT

• San Diego played stifling defense and dominated on the glass and advanced to the WNIT Super 16 with a 58-48 win over UC Irvine on Monday at the Jenny Craig Pavilion.
• Kasey Neubert recorded 17 rebounds and nine points, while Kylie Horstmeyer scored 15 points in the win.
• The Toreros out-rebounded UC Irvine 54-34 and held them under 30 percent shooting, doing so to an opponent for just the second time this season.

 
OPPONENT HISTORY

• The Toreros have only faced Oregon once in program history, dropping the one game back in 1999.

 
WHAT TO WATCH FOR

• The Toreros continue to find success on the glass, ranking 30th nationally in offensive rebounds per game (14.1).
• Neubert has been dominant on the glass in the second half of the season, averaging 10.5 rebounds per game over her last 14 contests, 18 rebounds per game in the WNIT and 8.1 rebounds per game this season, which ranks fourth in the conference.
• Should her pace continue, it would be the highest per game average by a Torero since Maya Hood (8.1 RPG) in the 2016-17 season.
