Quote of the Game "/ emphasize that we need to stay in the race, we need to stay on our game. We’ve got to regroup; those guys who need to redeem themselves have gotta come back and take it personal. ” Ernie Kent Oregon head coach Best Bet NBA Sacramento vs. Indiana 5 p.m., TNT Sports ■ w Friday Febuary ■9:2000 Volume 101, Issue 90 Emerald Oregon gets swatted from first The Ducks have no answer for Arizona's Loren Woods and fall to second place as the Wildcats stay tied for first with Stanford By Jeff Smith Oregon Daily Emerald Before the night began, Oregon was one of four teams leading the climb to the top of the Pacific-10 Conference. But on Thursday night, in Tucson, Ariz., the Ducks got left behind in the woods — Loren Woods, that is. Woods, the 7-1 junior transfer center for Arizona (18-4 overall, 7-1 Pac-10), did about everything hu manly possible to help his team stay atop with a huge 77-71 victory over the Ducks (15-4, 6-2) in front of a sold-out McKale Court crowd of 14,523. Woods used his lengthy arms and unmatched pres ence to dominate the game with a triple-double of 16 points, 10 rebounds and 14 blocked shots. His 14 blocks tied the NCAA record held by David Robinson, Shawn Bradley and Alabama’s Roy Rogers. And Woods didn’t waste much time setting the tone. On the Ducks’ first pos session, A.D. Smith drove to the hoop on Woods. Result: Block. The ball went right to Flo Hartenstein who put up a strong shot attempt. Result: Swat. Then Anthony Norwood received the ball and slashed hard to the lane and tried to fire up a streaking jumper. Result: Rejection. “Loren Woods had an out standing game,” said Ore gon head coach Ernie Kent on KUGN after he fell to 0-5 lifetime record against Ari zona. “Fourteen blocks — Turn to UO men, page 8 Leaders Blocks: Woods 14 Oregon 0 Scoring: Oregon Scales 18 Smith 16 Norwood 11 Arizona Wright 20 Woods 16 Arenas 15 UO tries to keep streak alive at home Emerald Archives Shaq and teammates rev it up against both Arizona schools at the Pit this weekend. ■ After last Saturday’s huge win at UCLA, the Ducks are eager to extend their 19-game home winning streak tonight against Arizona By Mirjam Swanson Oregon Daily Emerald Not much question about it. The Arizona schools present the toughest “double” in the Pacific 10 women’s basketball conference. It’s because they’re both such quick, athlet ic teams. The Wildcats (16-3 overall, 5-3 Pac 10) are ranked No. 15 in the ESPN poll. Arizona State (11-6,4-3) is better than it’s heen in years — proving so by nearly up setting the Wildcats last Sunday in Tucson. “I don’t think we play two teams as good as they are back-to-back all year,” Oregon point guard Shaquala Williams said. “We can’t take a game off from this series. In most Pac-10 series, you have one team that's kind of a slouch. But they don’t have that.” Had the Oregon women’s basketball team (14-5, 5-2) lost at UCLA last Saturday, then this weekend’s games would be even more daunting.

The win extended the team’s winning streak to six straight wins and lifted its overall record to 10-3. The Ducks took the over all match 20-19, and need ed two big scoring matches from junior college transfer Eugene Harris and senior Doug Lee, ranked ninth in the nation. Second-year head coach Chuck Kearney said that wins by Lee and Harris put the Ducks over the top for the win. “With a closely-contested match like we had, bonus points are crucial,” Kearney said. “The wins by Eugene and Doug were big for us. ” Turn to Wrestling, page 12
