Men look for win against No. 8 By Dave Charbonneau fcmoraid Sports Editor The Oregon men's Iwsketbali team has lost six straight games, is winless in the Pacific to Conference, and is playing ns Imd ns it has played nil sea son — not the most opportune circumstances to lx* confronted by the eighth-ranked team in the nation. But that is what the Ducks will !»• faced with tonight when they try to do the seemingly impossible: knot k off 11-2 Ari zona at Mi Arthur Court. The Wildcats ore in first place in the I’m -10 with .1 5-ti rei ord. Oregon is ()-<> nod in l.ist plate in the up, and morale is plummeting for Jerry Green's team that stir passer) last season's vic tory to tal 12 games mlo the season By the way Oregon has played its first six Pan-10 games, it may not tie able to el lipse a seven-win season But the Duck players are hoping tradition and o little home-court luck will work in their favor. Oregon has defeated nation ally-ranked Wildcat teams at home two of the last three sea sons A win at home against Ar izona would obviously do a lot in boosting the confidence on the Ducks "We haven't tieen real confi dent lately." Oregon forward Antoine Stoudnraire said We re looking at tins game as n i hnnee to restore that confi dence we had after the Great Alaskan Shootout and the f at West Classii As was the case last season, it seems as though the Ducks go as St ou da m ire goes Stoudnmire shot around 45 per (mil from the field and aver aged 1H points through Ore gon's first IS games, hut the se nior has struggled the past three game*, averaging only 11 point* while shooting under to percent. He and guard Orlando Wil liams have both been hard pressed to provide the outside scoring threat on which Oregon depends Williams and Stoudamire have combined to hit only 40 percent from the field in Pat -to play. Stoudamire said he realizes that needs to improve for Ore gon to have a chance the rest of the season "It's In-ei) Iwd lu< k that Or lando and I have Iwth started to slump at the same time." Stoudamire said. "I can't re member anytime in my career that I've had three straight had games We just have to keep taking our shots as they come and have confidence that they will start falling." Oregon will need hot shoot ing and lough defense if it es pects to give Arizona a fight l.ast season, the Wildcats Turn to WILDCATS, Page 6 Women take Pac-10 jinx into game at UA By Steve Mims Emerald Sports Reporter* The Oregon women's bas ketball team had high hopes for the 1992-93 basketball season after going 6-3 in the pre-season, but they travel to Arizona this weekend 0-6 and searching for answers. The quick start and subse quent fall once conference play begins isn't new for the Ducks, as they have never won less than 667 percent of their pre-season games in the Inst seven years, but have gone on to winning records in the Pacific-10 Conference only two of those seven years. In 1990-91, Oregon went 7-3 in the pre-season and bet tered that with an H-2 record the following year, but fin ished 6-12 In conference play both years. This disturbing trend began in 1987-88 when Oregon went 7-3 in the pre season but finished 9-9 in the Pac-10. Two years later. Ore gon went 8-3 in pre-season but once again finished 9-9 in the conference. ''I think injuries are the big reason we have fallen off when the Pac-10 season be gins.” Oregon head coach Kl win Heiny said. "Injuries have been especially tough the past two years.” Tlie injury bug has hit Ore gon's inside players the hard est the past two years, with Debbie Sporcich suffering the most. Sporcich missed 10 games during the middle of last season and has played in only nine of Oregon's 15 games this season. The fi Turn to WOMEN.
