While the Sun Devils have had their recent troubles with the ex plosive Wildcats in Tucson, Ari zona State takes the in-state rival ry very seriously on its home floor. The average score in the last eight meetings at Wells Fargo Arena in Tempe has been Arizona 78, Arizona State 77.38. The Wildcats and Sun Devils meet at Wells Fargo Arena this Thursday in a big game for both teams. The desert schools were handled decently in their trip to California last week. Arizona State was swept and Arizona beat UCLA before being upset by now No. 23 Southern California. After the Wildcats beat Stan ford two weeks ago, it appeared that Arizona would remain a fix ture at the top of the Pacific-10 standings. The Wildcats’ loss to the Trojans, however, left USC 5-0 and sitting pretty entering the fourth week of conference play. Arizona freshman Jason Gard ner, who scored a career-high 25 points in the loss to USC, said the key to the Trojans’ upset win was their ability to score in the clutch. “The Trojans came out and played hard,” Gardner said. T-m mm*—-— — . “They came up with some big shots. They hit big free throws, and we couldn’t get over the hump.” Arizona must clamp down on the Sun Devils’ scorers to avoid a second straight Pac-10 loss. Ari zona State’s Eddie House has been scorching opponents for an average of 23.4 points per game, including a 61-point performance against California that matched the Pac-10 single-game scoring record set by Lew Alcindor. The Sun Devils also have an up-and-coming scoring threat in freshman guard Tanner Shell, who scored 24 points in Arizona State’s loss to USC. However, the Sun Devils have been off-setting their impressive offensive perfor mances with mediocre defensive exhibitions. Arizona State’s lack of defense hurt them last Saturday at UCLA, much to the dismay of Sun Dev ils’ coach Rob Evans. “We never defended,” Evans said. “We haven’t defended in the past five or six games. Our de fense isn’t solid enough to win on the road right now.” “If we had played as hard as we’re capable of defensively, we’d have won this game,” said House, whose team was unable to end the Sun Devils’ 22-game drought against the Bruins. “It wouldn’t even have come down to the last few minutes. We gave up too many transition bas kets and offensive boards.” Creepin’ in Corvallis Oregon State looked as if they had doormat potential after the Beavers’ first three Pac-10 games. After being nearly flawless last season at Gill Coliseum, Oregon State was run out of its own gym in losses to Oregon, California and Stanford. Last week’s games could have been devastating for Oregon State’s season. The Beavers, how ever, responded well to adversity, with a 77-73 victory at Washing ton State and then a blow-out against a lethargic Washington team, 74-57. Especially impressive was the Beavers’ win against the Huskies. Oregon State (10-6, 2-3 Pac-10) If we had played as hard as we're capable of defensively, wed have won this game. Eddie House guard, Arizona dominated them early and fin ished them off in convincing fash ion. The Beavers blew open a 43 16 lead at one point in the first half, which evaporated to a 59-49 lead late in the game. Oregon State refused to let Washington get any closer, reeling off a 12-0 run to end the Huskies comeback bid. The Beavers’ head coach Eddie Payne is looking for more of the same when Oregon State takes on USC Thursday at Gill Coliseum, where the Beavers have a two game winning streak against the Trojans. “We had good ball pressure, and the Huskies didn’t get a lot of open looks,” Payne said. “We took some initiative and created some indecision. We just played a real solid game.” Make it Happen/ imtoersiiy Wcaltli Center WIlfTBR %000 »£ALT» BPUCATIOH WORKSHOPS The following workshops are available, free of charge, to currently enrolled U of O students.
