It’s tourney time for the Ducks
Hot Missouri, 23-8,
is opening opponent
By Mike Riplinger
Ol the Emerald
The Oregon women's basketball team
could find a better team to begin the
NCAA tournament with then the Univer
sity of Missouri, but Oregon assistant
coach Bev Bland won't complain.
“We re very positive about playing
them. They're good but not significantly
better than any other teams we’ve
played." Bland said "We think they will
be a good team to start off with, because
they are balanced and have no real in
dividual player that we have to stop '
“But we re not looking at this as a
warm up game by any means They have
a good team and we'll have to play well to
beat them."
Missouri, 23-8 this year, is seeded sixth
in the Western Regional, and the Ducks
will have to be on their toes if they hope
to advance to Stanford for the next round
of the tournament The Tigers finished
the season strongly by winning 14 out of
their last 15 games
“We have really been playing well,'*

said Missouri coach, Joann Rutherford
"We have been pointing for this for a
long time It really highlights our season
to make it into the tournament, so we
don't want to let down "
Missouri is led by 6-1 center Lorraine
Ferret who averages 15 9 points a game
and Debbie Walker who averages 12 7 a
game They have a balanced attack with
four other players who all average
around eight points
"We don't have any real stars, agreed
Rutherford But we are tenacious We
keep coming at you
"We are real excited about this It's a
good opportunity to show our stuff We
feel we can beat just about anybody if we
play well, and we know we ll have to do
that to beat the Ducks "
"By their ranking (9th) we know they
