Nowlin-Tres: Intensity is herkey ■ Continued from Page 7 game in 20 minutes of action, but not before scoring 14 points on 7 of-12 shooting. “We could have done better. I was too aggressive,” she said re calling last year’s game in McArthur Court. This season she has fouled out just twice in 27 games, while av eraging 31 minutes a contest. Despite a slight dropoff to 31.1 percent in her three-point shoot ing this year, from her 36.8 per cent a year ago, Nowlin-Tres is averaging a team high 16 points and 7 rebounds a game. She is second on the team in field-goal shooting at 50.8 percent. During the Aztecs WAC sea son, Nowlin-Tres led the team in scoring in 12 of the teams last 19 games. And in San Diego State’s early-season romp over UNLV, she recorded a career-high 32 points to go along with her 10 re bounds. “Jodi obviously is an excep tional shooter,” Burns said. “She’s a critical part of our team.” A rough preseason ended with three straight losses and the team’s goal of winning the WAC Championship was looking like it would be difficult. But since then, the team hasn’t looked back. “We didn’t have a really good preseason,” she said. “The pre season just wasn’t what I had ex pected it to be, people didn’t know their roles.” The senior’s intensity on the defensive end, as well as offen sively, helped the team to an im pressive finish, as she averaged 17.6 points in WAC games. “I’m intense,” she said, “a little more than I need to be some times.” Perhaps if she shares some of that extra intensity with her team mates, the No. 11 seed Aztecs will avenge last season’s loss to the Ducks. NIT: Ducks struggled from beyond three-point arc ■ Continued from Page 7 For the game, Oregon was 3-of 25 from behind the 3-point line. The Ducks controlled the boards, 47-33, including 26 on the offensive end. Oregon raced to a 40-30 lead at the half, with Kyle Milling doing most of the work. Milling, who averaged 11.6 points during the regular season, matched that halfway through the half and finished the first 20 min utes with 16 points and eight re bounds.
