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.
