Hut try something How many teluvised college hnaketlxill games con you remember from recent years7 Not many How many reg ular seoson games? Precious few There are memories, of course. The game where an adolescent giant in knee pads named O'Neal practiced his dance moves on the court against Arizona while play ing with what looked like Nerf hoops And the game where a Mrlmsr P/m r extra named Laettner t Scott Simonson missed a froe throw and got hit in tin' chest hv a pass from some cor ky freshman from Michigan who was so anxious for l-aettner to miss again that ho didn't both er to hand the fwll bat k to tint ref und' And the game whew a skin ny kid named Hardaway player! BYU in an undersized gym in Hawaii that could barely contain his vast talents. But few memories are made on television I've watched Chris Webber play countless times When I think of Webber, I think of last spring at the NCAA region al in Tucson. Ariz . against UC1.A It was the only time I've seen him play in person I saw an unrelenting stare in warmups I sow emotion and intensity each trip down the i ourt in tiie second half I saw a lug man with imagination and touch I saw a player who, when he caught the boll on the low block and moved toward the has ket. unlaid v from UCl.A or in the stale of Arizona or in the rest of < basket ha 11 c ould stop him (rotri dunking ! didn’t see nil of that on tele vision It's the difference between wall lung it and being there.

There are the games Oregon plaved The upset ogainst Ari zona in 1991. with both the crowd and the players sensing from the opening basket that his tory could repeat itself The blowout win over Oregon State the same year, with a diminu tive walk-on named Brett John son scoring in the waning sec onds of the game, then being hoisted onto the shoulders of teammates and carried back into obscurity. Or Cal last year, with Oregon losing but playing like a team of the future, coming with in a basket of beating a team that would beat Duke less than a month later There are the players of recent years Tracy Murray humiliating Oregon's zone defense by mak ing three pointers look like lay It’s difficult to predict what you might see if you bother to go to Mac Court this year. You’ll probably want to forget most of what you ead ups Harold Miner, his game bofh preternatural ly smooth and disarmingly idiosyncratic, bring ing his array of photogenic dri ves. dunks and jumpers. Ore gon's own Terrell Brandon dueling with Roliert Pack. (Hon orable mentions go to Khalid Reeves. I-orenzo Orr. Vin Baker. Harold Miner in warmups and during timeouts, and Harold Miner boarding the team bus ) It's difficult to predict what you might see if you bother to go to Mai Court this year You'll probably want to forget most of what you see But there will be something, someone worth remembering That may be more than can be said for sitting at home.

Ore gon was 3-15 in the Pac-10 last season, but beat UCLA and nearly upset No. 9 USC Inst weekend. On the other hand. Oregon State, 0-2 in the Pac-10 and 8 3 overall, was supposed to fin ish in the top half of the con ference and was ranked as high as 26th in the country before being swept at home by the Bruins and Trojans. Oregon head coach Jody Runge expects the Beavers to be hungry for their first con ference win when they take the court Thursday. As a result, she said, the Beavers may try anything to get on the right track. "They need a win. They’re going to do whatever crazy thing. They may have a Turn to WOMEN. Page 1?
