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.

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.
