Intrastate rivals state cases
■ Arizona and Arizona
State fight for state
supremacy; Beavers make
statement on road trip
Pac-10 Notes

Duel in the desert
Talk about home court advan
tage.
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.”
