The snub breaks a long chain of NCAA berths in which Oregon teams qualified for 29 of the last 32 NCAA meets. Head coach Martin Smith will send two individuals to the nation al meet — sophomore Jason Hart mann and senior Michael Kasahun, who placed second and fourth at the regional meet, respec tively. Qualifying standards for the na tional meet take into account a team’s national ranking, its record against other top-25 teams and its placing at the conference and re gional meets. Although Oregon was ranked 10th in the nation, it trailed Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo at the region al meet by eight points. Cal Poly beat only one NCAA qualifying team in the regular season and also failed to qualify for the NCAAs. Instead, the rest of the Oregon team will stay at home wihile 12 other teams that Oregon Soundly defeated in the regular season will run at nationals. In the polls As startling as the men’s team snub by the national committee was, the women’s acceptance in the national meet was just as surpris ing. The Oregon women’s team was among the fourth group of teams accepted into the NCAAs. After mediocre performances all season, the Ducks broke out of their slump at the regional meet, placing fourth overall and beating otit two other ranked teams. “At nationals, we know we can be a top-20 team, but it won’t be easy,” head coach Tom Heinonen said. “If we race like we’re capable of, we can beat a lot of teams/’ The Ducks climbed back into the top-25 polls this week at No. 22, the final poll of the season. Basketball continued from page 7 throughout the second half, and were able to stay always one step ahead of Oregon. AIA made 11 of 14 free throws down the stretch, including seven of their last eight, to stave off the Ducks, 84-80. The Ducks’ reactions to the loss were mixed. “We should have beat those guys,” Ridnour said. “Mentally, we didn’t get it done.” Kent compared Tuesday’s exhi bition to Oregon’s first match with the Basketball Travelers last Mon day. “The Basketball Travelers didn’t force you to think defensively, you could play them straight up,” Kent said. “Tonight we faced a smart team.” Bracey was actually “glad” the Ducks lost. This was a test for us, as far as our chemistry, to see if we can bounce back,” Bracey said. Oregon will try to do just that against Mississippi Valley State Friday in their regular-season opener at Mac Court. Call (541) 3464343 or stop by Room 300 Erb Memorial Union to place your ad today.
