Green. Ducks look for medicine
By Dave Chartoonneau
Ernetfatd Sports £<3>kx
Oregon assistant coach Bobby
Braswell will have a little more
responsibility this weekend
when the Ducks face Washing
ton Thursday and Washington
State Saturday at McArthur
Court
Last weekend. Oregon men's
basketball coach Jerry -Green
mysteriously injured his knee in
his sleep and was unable to
leave the bench during the
Ducks' loss to UCLA. On Tues
day. Green was released from
the hospital after undergoing
arthroscopic knee surgery.
Green will Ins at the game
Thursday night, but will lie on
crutches and probably won't
pace the sidelines like usual.
This makes Braswell's job
tougher.
"As a coaching staff," Bras
well said, "we all have to pick
up the slack as far as communi
cating with the players on the
court and relaying information
to them."
Braswell, along with assis
tants King Rice and Mark Tur
geon, all have a heavier burden
plated on (heir shoulders
because of Green's injury, but
nothing comparable to the
weight their team has been car
rying.
The Ducks are 0-11 in the Pa
cific-K) Conference and are in
jeopardy of becoming the first
team since the Paciflc-8 ex
panded to to teams to go win
less in conference play.
Oregon will Ire at home for the
first time in three weeks. The
Ducks played well on the three
game road trip, but lost to Ore
gon State, UC.I-A and USC.
"The encouraging thing is that
we had opportunities to win all
three of those games," Hraswell
said “The players are really
confident right now and we re
hoping some home-cooking will
get us over the hump."
Washington and Washington
State have been surprises this
season. Both were picked to Ik'it
tle with Oregon for last place,
but the Huskies are 5-f> in the
conference, and the Cougars are
tied for second place at 7-4.
Hraswell said he's not sur
prised at all.
"Any time you have a solid
big man and a quality point
guard, you're going to be com

I'd fit in there,"
The University of South far
olinu is looking to replace Steve
Newton, who has announced ho
will retire after this season.
“I don't have a comment on

nothing you ran do about it. But
it's not something I'm thinking
about My goal right now is to
win those two games this
