Being home should make mat
ters easier. Oregon has arguably
the conference’s premier home
court advantage, having won 52
of its last 61 games at Mac Court.
The Ducks have a 17-game win
ning streak there. And they lead
the Pac-10 in attendance.
Because Oregon’s 1999 Pac-10
championship banner will be un
veiled before the game, and be
cause absence does make the
heart grow fonder, it won’t be sur
prising if more fans than usual
show up for Thursday’s Pac-10
home opener.
“We’re excited,” head coach
Jody Runge said. “It’s been a long,
long haul.”
Indeed, when Oregon initially
departed on Dec. 9, it was unde
feated and ranked in the top 10 in
both the ESPN and AP polls.
It returns with four lasses —
against Southwest Missouri State,
Santa Barbara, San Francisco and
Stanford.
The Ducks’ coaches have
vowed never to schedule a road
trip this trying again. The physi
cal and emotional fatigue, and
probably the incessant questions
about the subject, have ensured
that.
Craighead for three
In her first start on Saturday,
sophomore guard Jamie Craig
head played a career-high 38 min
utes and lodged a career-best 15
points, all on three-pointers.
Thanks to that second breakout
performance of the season — she
had 14 points against Western
Kentucky on Nov. 21 — the Wash
ington product is currently fifth in
the Pac-10 for three-point field
goal percentage, shooting 39 per
cent from behind the arc.
“Jamie was awesome,” said
junior guard Lindsey Dion. “I was

very proud of her to come off the
bench and knock down those four
three-pointers in a row. Good for
her and for her confidence too.”
For the team
Similarly, what’s come to be ex
pected from Dion besides leader
ship and intelligent play is the
type of all-out hustle that some
times ends in collision — with
other players and/or the floor.
During her freshman season,
Dion suffered a concussion after
she and a Southern California
player crashed into each other.
Then, in the Ducks second-round
NCAA Tournament loss, Dion
tore cartilage in her knee.
This season, Dion again sus
tained a tear of the lateral menis
cus in her right knee against
Southwest Missouri State.
Last Thursday against Califor
nia, Dion suffered another concus
sion, hitting the floor —which kept
her out of the Stanford game and
allowed for Craighead’s first start.
