Men swept again
Worst year since 72 ends
An absolutely miserable season finally came to an end
over the weekend
The Oregon men's basketball team came out on the
losing end of games with Arizona State and Arizona, losing
twice by 18-point margins, 80-62 to ASU Friday and to the
Wildcats Saturday 96-78
The loss closed out a frustrating season in which the
Ducks lost 14 of their last 16 games and went 9-18 (4-14 in the
Pacific 10 Conference) for the season It's the worst season in
a decade for the Ducks, since the 1971-72 record of 6-20 It's
also the worst season in Jim Haney's tenure at the Duck helm
It was a season that saw
Oregon show early signs of
improvement over last year —
finishing second to Idaho in
the Portland’s Far West Bas
ketball Classic in December —
only to fall flat on its face after
winning its first two confer
ence games against the two
Arizona schools in McArthur
Court
The two Southwestern
schools had little compassion
for the hapless Ducks, who
had beaten them to start off
the Pac-10 season
Actually, Oregon could
have won either game if they
had played like they wanted
to Duck coach Jim Haney
benched junior forward Je
rome Williams for much of the
two-day road trip for disciplin
ary reasons and guard Paul
Bain lost playing time to
freshman Bryan Trendell as
Haney experimented with dif
ferent player combinations
Nothing helped the Ducks, however, who played as
inconsistently as they had all season
Oregon kept the score close despite poor first halves in
each of the two games, but could not hold on in the end,
giving their opponents the opportunity to build insurmounta
ble leads late in the second half of each ball game
Graduating senior John Greig ended his career with the
Ducks by scoring 36 points tor the weekend Greig amassed
429 points for the season and 909 tor his three-year career,
making him 18th on the all-time Oregon scoring list
Greig closed out his career with the best career field goal
efficiency in the history of the school
It was also a good weekend for guard Fred Cofield The
sophomore had an especially productive game against
Arizona, going to the hoop for 27 points (11 -for-19 from the
field and 5-for-6 from the line)
But for the most part, the Ducks were left to search for
answers to a season that has been disheartening to the
players and fans alike
Mental mistakes, uninspired play and an overall attitude
of being afraid to lose" began to surface at the beginning of
the Ducks' losing streak But at the end of the season, those
problems seemed to be especially prominent
Now, Oregon faces the task of reversing its losing trend,
and next year returning a sense of pride to the program

MSU surprises Ducks;
west regionals up next
The Oregon women’s gymnastics team had one of their worst
outings of the season as they suffered a disappointing
131.90-128.50 loss at the hands of Montana State last Friday.
The Ducks, who had been averaging 136-138 points a meet,
could not manage any firsts against the Bobcats. MSU’s Barbie
Baker took firsts on the balance beam (8 45) and the floor (8 90) on
her way to first place in the all-around (33 80).
Leading the way for Oregon was Maureen Nolan, who took
seconds on the uneven bars (8.30) and the beam (8.05). Pacing the
Ducks in the all-around was Sara Gustafson, who finished second
with a 33.40 mark.
The loss gave Oregon a 2-3 dual meet record for the season as
they head into the western regionals March 12-13 in Corvallis.
Oregon’s region is one of the toughest in the country, with
top-ranked Utah, 2nd-ranked Oregon State and a solid Washington
squad standing in their way. The Ducks’ goal is to top 140 points,
which would be a school record
A key factor for Oregon if they hope to do well is freshman Julie
Tennenhouse, who coach Gary Vanderhoef says, “has really come
on in the last month.”
