Women: WSU has worst attendance ■ Continued from Page 9A But the close win at UCLA could be a bit disturbing for Cardi nal fans and good news for the oth er nine conference schools. When Stanford wins, it usually wins big. During the streak, only six of the Cardinal’s 48 wins were by five points or less. The game against the Bruins went down to the wire and could have gone either way if it wasn’t for the Cardinal connecting on its last 14 free-throw attempts. In fact, UCLA actually led 59-57 with six minutes, 16 seconds remaining. In all likelihood, Stanford will take care of business at home, where it hasn’t lost a Pac-10 game since 1991. But Arizona has proven the Car dinal can be beaten on the road, and the close game at UCLA should provide further proof that the Cardinal is not invincible. Look for games at Washington on Feb. 19 and at Oregon on March 5 to be the best chances for the Cardinal to get knocked off. Is WSU really that bad? What is wrong with fans in Pull man, anyway? First, fans failed to fill Marten Stadium for the majori ty of the football games in the Cougars’ run to the Rose Bowl. Now, Washington State is easily dead last in the Pac-10 in attendance for its women’s basketball team. No, the Cougars aren’t challeng ing for a national title or anything, but they really aren’t that bad at 8 6 overall and 2-3 in the Pac-10. At least not bad enough that they should attract just 468 fans per home game, a whopping 3.9 percent of capacity. Surely there isn’t so much to do in Pullman that fans can’t find time to watch some women’s bas ketball, especially one of the pre mier women’s basketball confer ences in the nation. Game of the week A couple of weeks ago, this dis tinction could have gone to Wash ington at Stanford on Saturday. But the Huskies’ little slump of late, losing three of their past four games, has taken care of that. Arizona (11-3,5-1) at Oregon (8 6, 4-2) is this week’s most impor tant Pac-10 matchup. It is a chance for the Ducks to make a big statement to the rest of the Pac-10, with the chance to make it two wins over a ranked team in one week (the Ducks beat then-No. 13 Washington last Thursday). Just 2-2 in McArthur Court this season, the Ducks don’t want to fall below .500 in a building that Oregon head coach Jody Runge said is the conference’s biggest home court advantage. Men: Stanford at Washington game of week ■ Continued from Page 9A against Oregon on 14-of-15 shooting and adding 18 points and eight boards against Oregon State. OSU’s Grady out indefinitely Oregon State’s Ron Grady left Saturday’s loss to Washington with nine minutes left with an abdomi nal injury that reportedly caused him trouble breath ing. After the game, Grady reported blood in his urine and was diagnosed with bruised ribs and a lacerated kidney. Grady joins the Beavers’ lyan Walker on the "out indefinitely” list, a label that could apply to the entire roster, judging by Oregon State’s 0-6 Pac-10 record. Sizzling in the desert Arizona scored 127 points against Arizona State, a Pac-10 record for scoring in a conference game. The Wildcats are now averaging 96.6 points per game, two points better than the Pac-10 record set in 1972 by UCLA. The Wildcats boast three of the top seven scor ers in the conference, with Michael Dickerson third at 18.3 points per game, Miles Simon fourth with 17.9 per game and Mike Bibby seventh with 17.4. The Wildcats beat No. 15 New Mexico at home on Sunday and should be a serious force come tournament time. The Sun Devils also have three representatives among the top 10 in scoring, with No. 1 Jeremy Veal (20.1), No. 8 Bobby Lazor (17.4) and No. 10 Mike Batiste (16.6), but for a different reason than the Wildcats. Ari zona State has used the same starting lineup in each of its 22 games and features just nine scholarship players. Transferring production Transfers Geno Carlisle and Thomas Kilgore are starting to pay dividends for California, which is shooting 10 percentage points better since the two be came eligible three weeks ago. Carlisle spent two pro ductive seasons at Northwestern and needs just 24 points to reach 1,000 in his career, and Kilgore began his career at Central Michigan. Replacing Pac-10 play er of the year Ed Gary is no easy task, but Carlisle and Kilgore certainly appear up to the challenge. Game of the week Stanford at Washington, Jan. 24. This game deserves mention again, and the key matchup is between 7-foot centers MacCulloch and Stanford’s Tim Young. MacCulloch has already amassed six double-doubles this season, and Young’s absence from the Pac-10's scoring leaders is more a testament to the Cardinal's depth in the frontcourt than a lack of production from Young. If the two neutralize each other as expected, the dif ference in this game will be in the backcourt, where each team features a veteran presence and not much depth. The Huskies’ Deon Luton and Donald Watts should be on the floor most of the game, as should Stan ford’s Arthur Lee and Kris Weems. The Cardinal’s David Moseley is the only other guard who should see significant action, and his three-point shooting should be the difference. Alex’s Women’s Power Rankings ATIUTu 1.
