Men
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.”
