No. 1 ranked Oregon women's basketball head coach Kelly Graves

Matt Prehm and Erik Skopil are joined by Oregon women's basketball head coach Kelly Graves to discuss his team's No. 1 ranking in the preseason, an upcoming game against Team USA, and his thoughts heading into the 2019-20 basketball season.

The Oregon Ducks return four starters from last year's Final Four squad, including the nation's top player in senior guard Sabrina Ionescu. Senior Ruthy Hebard is arguably the nation's best power forward, and junior Satou Sabally is one of the 10 best players in all of college basketball this season per ESPN.com's women's rankings.

Graves joins the show and talks with Matt and Erik about playing Team USA on Saturday afternoon at Matthew Knight Arena, how that came about, the build-up of this women's program into what it is today, his approach to recruiting the nation's best players in the United States, how he handles recruiting at an international level, and a good look ahead to this year's basketball season.
