Newspaper Page TextMen continued from page 7 A Trojans and Ducks last year, and Oregon had a five-point lead with five seconds remaining in regula tion. USC needed a Reggie Miller esque miracle to leave Eugene with a win. Spanich was almost a mirror image of the Pacers’ star, hitting a three-pointer with 2.8 seconds left and then proceeding to steal the inbound pass and nail the game-winner to give the Tro jans an inconceivable 85-84 victo ry. The loss sent the Ducks’ season into a temporary downslide. They lost six of their next seven before winning some key games down the stretch, which earned them a bid to the National Invitation Tournament. “I remember it, but we’ve actu ally put it behind us,” said Ore gon head coach Ernie Kent, of Spanich’s miracles last year. “We were able to regroup and put that game behind us. The key thing is to learn from it and go from there.” The Ducks did get revenge against the Trojans last year in a 60-55 win in Los Angeles. “Remember, USC was the game we won on the road that gave us an opportu nity to come out of that tailspin last year,” Kent said. Oregon (13-3, 4-1 Pacific-10 Conference) is de termined to avoid another loss on its home floor to the No. 23 Tro jans (12-5, 5-0) tonight at McArthur Court at 7:35 — a change from the original 7:05 game time. USC is still riding high from its 80-72 upset win over No. 5 Ari zona last week. Kent said he { ( This should be a basketball game that we have a good opportunity to do well in if we're on our game. [USC is] a legit top-25 team, and it's a big battle for us to have the oppotunity to play them. Ernie Kent Oregon head coach knows there is a lot riding on tonight’s contest. “This should be a basketball game that we have a good oppor tunity to do well in if we’re on our game,” Kent said. “They’re a legit top-25 team, and it’s a big battle for us to have the opportunity to play them.” A win could propel the Ducks into the top 25. The Ducks are currently ranked 29th in the Asso ciated Press poll, and a win over the Trojans would be key at this point in the season. “If we can get a win here, a 5-1 start would be a whole lot differ ent that the start we had last year,” said Oregon forward A.D. Smith, who’s tied for ninth in the Pac-10 with 15.3 points per game. “This is going to be a big game for us. We hope it’s a battle for NCAA consideration.” Oregon forward Bryan Bracey said he is confident that the Ducks can upend the Trojans if they play to their potential. “I don’t necessarily think that USC has the talent that we’ve got, but they’ve been on their ‘A’ game lately, so we just need to play smart and come ready,” said Bracey, who is among the nation’s leaders in field goal percentage, thanks in part to his 10-of-10 shooting performance from the field against Washington. “I know we can beat them with our home crowd behind us, and if we can beat them and UCLA, we’ll be tied for first.” Recently, whenever UCLA has traveled to Eugene, it has been a national champion contending team that couldn’t find its game at the Pit. So the Ducks-Bruins matchup has been the most in triguing contest of the season the last five years. This season, however, Kent said the Ducks’ primary focus is use. “In some people’s minds, they see the UCLA game on Saturday and think of that as a big game,” Kent said. “But really the game for us is Thursday. They’re the team that is playing the best right now, and they have our total attention.” Emerald Call (541) 346-4343 or stop by Room 300, Erb Memorial Union to place your ad today. P.O.
