Men Continued from Page 11 to Tanner at shooting guard. Steinthal scored 38 points in last week’s Oregon State home wins, 20 of them coming against tire Trojans. Payne, who has seen many of his most talented players leave his program for a multitude of reasons, could not be happier with his team’s work rate. “I don’t think I’ve ever had a group of guys on a team quite like this group, in terms of their ap proach, their attitude, their focus, their character, all those types of things,” Payne said. “They’re go ing to make some mistakes and those types of things. But day-in and day-out, this is the best group of guys I’ve had in terms of work ing to get better and responding to coaching.” Conference of craziness With lOofthePac-lO’s 18 games decided by three points or fewer thus far, head coaches around the conference are talking about the wealth of talent and re sulting amount of parody present this season. Bruins head coach Steve Lavin seemed to sum up the general consensus when he called it “the wildest and craziest” Pac-10 he has seen. Payne, Arizona head coach Lute Olsen and Arizona State head coach Rob Evans all agreed with Lavin during Tuesday’s con ference call, but proclaimed No. 4 Stanford (13-2 overall, 3-0 Pac 10) as prominently above the rest of the pack.

Women Continued from Page 11 points, but Jackson’s performance would be overshadowed by Ore gon State’s Sissel Pierce in the last five seconds of the game. Pierce ran through the Bears defense straight to the basket and made a layin that gave the Beavers a 54-52 win. The bottom line is that nothing is certain when conference play begins. If teams don’t play solid basketball for 40 minutes, any thing can happen. Depth key tor teams with injuries Another lesson that teams are learning is the value of depth. Arizona State suffered a setback when freshman forward Leah Combs was sidelined indefinitely with stress fractures in both legs. Combs was averaging 10 points and 9 rebounds per game. Combs had recorded four double-dou bles before her injuries struck ear lier this season, and the Sun Dev ils do not appear to have a player that can match Comb’s ability to both score and rebound. Arizona State has just one conference win and will sorely miss its second leading scorer. Southern California su ffered a blow on Jan. 4 when its leading scorer, Kristin Clark, went down with an anterior cruciate ligament injury. Clark is ranked ninth in Pac-10 with 14 points per game. There is little doubt that the Trojans will miss Clark, but fresh man guard Tiffany Elmore has stepped up in the backcourt and is averaging 12 points per game. De spite the loss of Clark, the Trojans went on to win two straight games and improve their record to 2-2. Oregon guard Lisa Bowyer has yet to play a conference game for the Ducks because of a broken fin ger sustained on Dec. 29. Bowyer had the stitches removed from her finger on Monday and is expected to see action for the first time on Jan. 21 when Oregon heads to the desert to face the Arizona schools.
