in an NBA arena against a high
profile opponent.
“Yeah, we’re really excited
about that," said senior forward
Bryan Bracey, who was one of the
many frustrated Ducks Tuesday af
ter he scored only nine points. “I
think we’re going to rise to the oc
casion. I think we’re going to play
a lot better against better competi
tion.”
The good thing about
the UMass game is that,
win or lose, it’s going to
make us a better
basketball team.

Oregon head coach
Certainly the Minutemen quali
fy as being a bigger name than
Portland, Denver and Mississippi
Valley State, but they haven’t ex
actly been tearing it up lately.
Hopes were high for UMass head
ing into the season, but so far, it is
just 1-2 with its only win being a
67-65 season-opening squeaker
against Iona.
After that, the Minutemen stum
bled in a loss to Marquette, 68-64,
and then fell on their faces against
the Patriot League’s Holy Cross,
78-65. In that game, Holy Cross
outrebounded UMass 52-30.
“We’re not making any moves
under the basket — we’re just
standing behind guys and pushing
them in the back,” UMass head
coach Bruiser Flint told
CNNSI.com.
A key for the Ducks will be con
taining senior guard Monty Mack.
Mack averaged 19.8 points per
game last season and is the Min
utemen’s go-to guy down the
stretch. However, he has struggled
since missing time with an ankle
injury and has missed 22 of his
first 30 shots of the season.
On the Oregon side, Kent will be
expecting his go-to guys, junior
guard Freddie Jones and Bracey, to
be at the top of their games. Ac
cording to Bracey, after Tuesday’s
game, Kent told both him and
Jones that “they were nowhere to
be found.”
“Freddie and Bracey need to
make sure, night in and night out,
that they have their A game,” Kent
said. "And if the freshmen can
bring their C-plus and B game,
then we’re going to be OK. But
those two guys have got to be
locked in every night.”
If the game is close, the Ducks
should have the edge, as they are
17-5 in the last 22 games that were
decided by seven points or fewer.
Saturday’s game will provide
Oregon with the perfect chance for
personal redemption and also to
make an early season statement.
“We know we can do it,” fresh
man point guard Luke Ridnour
said. “We have confidence in our
selves. We just have to come out
and get it done on the floor.”
“The good thing about the
UMass game is that, win or lose,
it’s going to make us a better bas
ketball team,” Kent said.
The third annual Pape Jam will
begin at 6 p.m. with the Oregon
women’s game, which will be fol
lowed by the Oregon men’s game
at 8:30 p.m. It will be televised by
the Oregon Sports Network.
