Swish. Swish. Swish.
It is 6:03 p.m. on Mon
day evening, and all but
one of the Oregon men’s
basketball team members
have departed from the
floor at McArthur Court af
ter its practice session in
preparation for Thursday’s
Pacific-10 Conference
home opener at 7:05 p.m.
against California.
Swish. Around the rim
and in. Swish.
The lone player still
shooting at a rigorous pace
is sophomore guard Ben
Lindquist, who is receiving
chest pass after hard chest
pass from assistant coach
Mark Hudson. Lindquist,
clad in green athletic shorts
and a green practice jersey
that sports the number 24,
catches each ball in perfect
shooting position and
launches his smooth left
handed jumper soon there
after.
Swish. Swish. Off the
back iron and down.
Shooting extra shots
when many of his team
mates are either showering
or lifting weights is nothing
new to the sophomore
transfer guard from Utah
Valley State.
He stays after practice
until he makes 100 three

Pac-10 Notes

When the top-ranked team in the nation hosts
the No. 5 team in the opening weekend of Pacific
10 Conference play—and loses—one would ex
pect that game to get all of the attention.
Wrong.
All anybody seems to.be talking about this week
is the number 61. And we’re not talking about
Roger Maris and Mark McGwire, folks.
Eddie House, Arizona State’s sensational senior
shooting guard, lit up California for an eye-open
ing, jaw-dropping 61 points in the Sun Devils’ 111
108 victory in double overtime last Saturday.
And he did it by making 18 of 30 shots from the
field, including 7-of-10 from three-point range,
and a school record 18-of-19 free throws.
The point total equals the Pac-10 record set by
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar who recorded his 61 for
UCLA on Feb. 25,1967.
