need to take care of business and
get the win [today] to move our
selves up in the eyes of the com
mittee.”
But in the midst of all the title
excitement, the Ducks don’t want
to get too excited — not yet.
“I can guarantee that there is no
body who would want to spoil it
more for us than Oregon State,”
point guard Shaquala Williams
said. “They want to beat us more
than anybody, and they would
love to spoil it for us. ”
Tonight is senior night, also
known this season as “Nicole
Night.” Guard Nicole Strange will
step onto Mac Court’s hardwood
for the last time as a Duck.
The Ducks may not have made it
this far without Strange’s contribu
tions. She is arguably the Pac-lO’s
best midrange shooter, hitting 50.5
percent from the field this season.
“We want to give her the best
opportunity to go out as a winner
and to go out as a Pac-10 champ in
her last game at Mac Court,”
Williams said. “I think it’s really
important to her, and I think it’s re
ally important to us as a team for
her to get that opportunity. ”
Although Oregon is vying for
the all-out title, this season has
been anything but a smooth ride.
The wear-and-tear of a long road
trip eventually dumped the Ducks
from the nation’s top-25 early on.
Recurring injuries to junior for
ward Lindsey Dion left Oregon
with one of its most dependable
players playing at less than full-go.
Two homecourt losses, includ
ing the Ducks’ loss to Southern
California two weeks ago, tossed
Oregon from first place in the con
ference and tainted the Ducks’
usually dominant ways at home.
Most recently, Oregon was down
in Tucson, 55-33, with the second
half flying by and the Pac-10 title
hopes seemingly slipping away —
but the Ducks’ mounted a heroic
comeback to eke out the victory.
Now, after a storied season of Pac
10 parity, Oregon sits atop the pack,
the all-out title within its grasp.
Just one team stands in the way.
Before the season, any Pac-10
contender would have welcomed
Oregon State with title hopes on
the line.
Led by seniors Sissel Pierce and
Reda Petraitis, however, the
Beavers have beaten all their crit
ics. Oregon State is fifth in the
conference — not eighth, as pre
season polls projected it would
finish — and it is among the top
four teams in each of the confer
ence’s statistical categories.
Oregon head coach Jody Runge
said this could be the greatest
game at McArthur Court all year.
Obviously the fans agree — as of
Thursday, every general admis
sion ticket was sold, and there
were 400 reserve tickets left.
The Ducks want to win for senior Nicole Strange, who possibly plays her last game at McArthur Court.
Assistant coach Fred Litzenberg
er agreed that this game is special.
“We always talk about having
to take one game at a time,”
Litzenberger said. “It’s funny be
cause here it is; it comes down to
one game.
“We want to stay focused on it
being just one game, but obvious
ly there’s a lot riding on this
game.”
The season’s first Civil War in
Corvallis was won by Oregon, but
the Ducks didn’t pull away from
the Beavers until late in the sec
ond half. The game’s high intensi
ty set an up-tempo pace riddled
with lots of contact and few calls.
And, of course, there’s for
ward/center Ericka Cook, who
started the war in Corvallis early
by flipping off Oregon’s Dion in a
back hallway.
In the words of Dion, the re
match should be “electrifying.”
“It’s going to be an awesome at
mosphere at Mac Court and we
want to send Nicole out with a
bang,” Dion said. And [Oregon
State is] not playing half bad
right now. They’re young, they’re
excited and they’re going to bring
it.”

Horoscope by Linda C. Black
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (March 10). You
might have to make some tough choices this
year, but that's good. A difficult situation could
force you to give up a bad habit. Don't argue
too much in March, especially in a fight you
don't really want to win. Don't spend the money
before you get it in April. In May. you're lucky
— and decisive, too. Make an important choice
then. Creative work brings in the bucks around
August. A new opportunity requires new skills
in December. New information threatens old
beliefs in February, but faith prevails.
To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10
is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 7
— Remember to stick to a budget. Even if you
feel like there's plenty, don't be extravagant.
You'll be wiser to save than to spend. Pay back
what you owe, too. Be generous with your time
and ideas, instead.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 7
— The framework you've set in place should
work well for you. Your experience pays off,
too. You're a practical, common sense kind of a
person. Don't go for a fanciful scheme. It won't
work. A night on the town with your friends?
That's a go!
GEMINI (May 21-June 21)—Today is a 7—
To achieve a goal, stick to the old-fashioned
rules. A person you promised will remember
what you said you'd do. If you know that ahead
of time and if you remember not to push against
the limits, your life will be much easier.
CANCER (June 22-July 22) — Today is an 8
— The people in your inner circle are impor
tant to you. They provide comfort, security and
all sorts of things you might not have realized
you get from them. So, pass those feelings
along to somebody else. Be the strong one for a
friend who's feeling a little wobbly.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 6 — A
boss is a stickler for rales and regulations today.
He or she is not going to be flexible. Well, the
truth is your latest idea might not work anyway.
If somebody tells you there isn't enough mon
ey, it might be true. Take care.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-SepL 22) — Today is an 8
— Have you thought about going back to
school? If you can't afford the time or the mon
ey, how about a self-growth program? It's time
for you to take on a challenge. Offer to do
something a little scary. That’s a start.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Today is a 6 —
You have both abundance and restriction re
garding money today. This could mean you'll
make a lot, so don't spend it! You and your
sweetheart would love to splurge. Why not do
something that's less-expensive, instead? You
have the love, save the money!
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) — Today is an
8 — You could benefit through a partnership
now. This could be a romantic or business
agreement, possibly both. Money appears to be
involved, with quite a bit coming your way. Do
your part, and you might gain more security.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today
is a 6 — You may have to postpone getting
something you want so another can have what’s
needed. The kindness you bestow will be re
turned to you, so don't complain. It may take a
while, but that’s OK. It'll be accruing interest in
your karmic savings account
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is
an 8 — You are lucky in love today, especially
with an old friend. This could be the romantic
kind of love, but not necessarily. It might be a
precious moment you share with your family,
old friends, children or even neighbors. You
won't need much money. Enjoy.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 7
— Do you have strict rules at your house? You
may have to speak to a friend. It might be
slightly embarrassing for a moment, but every
thing should work out fine. Be pleasant, but
firm, and the visitor will probably go along
with your program.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)—Today is an 8
— You follow a pattern most days. Your
neighbors have routines, too. So, if anything’s
wrong, you all know, right? How long has it
been since you talked with them to find out
what they're all doing? Tonight would be fab
ulous fora block party.
