matter who they are.”
When relayed Woods’ words,
Arizona State head coach Rob
Evans blew off the notion that his
team played dirty.
‘‘I will not even honor that kind
of statement,” Evans said. “It’s
ridiculous. We’re the skinniest
team in the country.”
The Sun Devils also happen to
be one of the thinnest teams in the
league in terms of their lineup.
They are without the services of
sophomores Tanner Shell and
Justin Allen for the remainder of
the season. Arizona State was also
minus Prewitt for four games in
January with a sprained ankle.
Shell is out with a broken left
hand, while Allen is redshirting
this season after being diagnosed
with Hodgkin’s Disease.
Both are expected to return to ac
tion next season.
“We don’t have much margin for
error with those guys being out,”
Evans said. “It’s been tough, but
that’s life. We have to continue to
battle and we’ll be better for it.”
Pac-10 in the polls
Stanford remained in the No. 1
spot in both the Associated Press
and USA Today/ESPN Coaches
poll for the fourth straight week.
Arizona climbed to No. 7 in the
AP and No. 9 in the coaches poll.
The only other team in the top-25
is Southern California, which is
No. 21 in the AP and No. 19 in the
coaches poll after disposing of
both Oregon schools last weekend.

Devils overcome Oregon State
Thursday, then Saturday’s Ducks
Devils matchup will be even
sweeter.
Because the winner would sit
alone as first in the Pac-10.
Hoffman keeps rollin’
Trojan forward Ebony Hoffman,
a freshman, was named Pacific-10
Conference Player of the Week on
Monday, and rightfully so.
Hoffman terrorized the Ducks
last Thursday by scoring 19 points
and grabbing 17 rebounds in her
first career double-double.
But it wasn’t her last.
r
Against Oregon State last Satur
day, Hoffman scored on a layup
with 26 seconds left in overtime as
USC went on to win in dramatic
fashion, 69-67. The freshman phe
nom recorded her second straight
double-double with 12 points and
14 rebounds.
Note: Hoffman also scored the
layup and free throw to beat Ore
gon.
Can you say, “red hot?”
Ducks afloat in the rankings
Oregon remained in the
ESPN/USA Today coaches poll at
No. 21, dropping just one spot de

Senior All-American’s Doug
Lee, Chael Sonnen and freshman
Luke Larwin all earned victories to
take the lead at 14-9.
Fresno State responded by win
ning the final three matches, be
ginning with the forfeit at 125
pounds, to win 21-14.
On Sunday, Oregon traveled to
nearby San Luis Obispo for a
match with Pacific-10 Conference
foe Cal Poly. With a 2-6 record, the
Mustangs didn’t seem to be much
of a threat.
In the opening match, Sonnen
led Cal Poly’s David Schenk 11-0
and was only four points away
from a technical fall. Schenk then
scored a reversal and earned a
fluke pin with 2 minutes, 31 sec
onds remaining to win.
Oregon never regained the lead.
After the forfeit at 125 pounds, the
Ducks and Mustangs exchanged
wins until the 174 pound match,
where No. 17 Steve Strange
scored an 11-2 major decision
over Oregon’s Leif Williams to
clinch the match for Cal Poly.
Lee earned a six-point win by
disqualification in the final
match, but it was too little, too
late. Final score: Cal Poly 23, Ore
gon 20.
Sophomore Casey Hunt earned
a 5-3 decision over Aaron Gharst
at 141 pounds while Harris
earned a 16-7 major decision over
Josh Blagg.
Cal Poly won its first confer
ence match and its first over a
ranked opponent.
“We’ve got to keep our eye on
the prize,” Kearney said. “We’ve
go to have short memories and
keep preparing for the Pac-10
Championships and the NCAA
tournament.”
Oregon fell to 7-6 overall, 4-2 in
the Pac-10. It was the Ducks’ third
straight loss and second in the
conference. The Ducks host Pac
10 leader Arizona State this Fri
