Ducks shoot for NCAA tourney
Brandon, Lucas lead
experienced team

An Oregon men's basketball
team hasn't been to the NCAA
Tournament since 1961.
That could i hange this sea
son.
With four returning starters
and a talented incoming fresh
man class, Oregon Coach I km
Monson could very well lead
the Ducks into the 64-team
NCAA show in March.
During the off-season, an
NCAA bid was something all of
the players thought about after
going 15-14 and receiving a Na
tional Invitation Tournament
bid a year ago.
"Coach told us right after the
NIT game when we were in the
hotel lobby in New Mexico.
'NIT this year, NCAA next
year,” senior center and team
captain Richard Lucas said.
"It's not only on our minds,
it's something we think about
constantly.”
lunior point guard Terrell
Itrandori agreed that an NCAA
bid is one of Oregon’s top goals
this season.
"With Coach Monson. after
the NIT game last year, the first
thing we talked about was that
we feel four or five Pac-10
teams will go the NCAAs and
we can be one of those teams."
Monson certainly has a team
that can contend for an NCAA
bid but it won’t be easy as the
Pacific-10 Conference has re
emerged in the last three years
as one ol me premiere comer
enr.es in the country.
"There's no question that it s
the toughest its been since I've
been here." Munson said
"There's a good chance that
five teams will go to the
NCAAs and we fit in there pret
ty well."
Arizona should again be the
class of the Pac-10, but UCLA
should give the Wildcats a run
for their money. Both teams are
top 10 teams and both could go
a long way in the NCAA Tour
nament
California should also tie
strong as well as Stanford with
five returning starters. Oregon
went :t-t> against those schools
last year and upset both Arizo
na and UCLA in McArthur
Court
The talk of an NCAA Tourna
ment bid seems incredible after
the Ducks went 8-21 two sea
son ago.
"The beginning of my junior
year everyone and their moth
ers had us picked for No. 10 in
the conference." Lucas said,
"and some people picked us
11th out of 10 teams."

around last season with the in
