Oregon’s Ndidi Unaka and Kourtney Shreve are among those who believe that the
Ducks can make a run at an NCAA Tournament spot in their final five games.
Women’s
continued from page 7
young,” Craighead said of Shreve.
“She’s in a position that she’s never
been in before. But I know we’re go
ing to do our best this week in prac
tice to get her going because we
need her. She’ll come around.”
In 31 minutes against the
Huskies, Edwards was 4 of 7 from
the floor, all coming in the final 12
minutes of regulation or in over
time. She also grabbed five re
bounds and dished out four assists.
“I know I’m going to get about 20
minutes and share the playing
time,” Edwards said. “So when I get
in there I just have to play my best
and make my shots. ”
“It’s very difficult not to start Alis
sa Edwards right now because she’s
done such a tremendous job,”
Runge said. “Not only defensively,
which is the main reason she’s play
ing more, but now she’s shooting
the ball well.”
A halftime horror
The Ducks are 1-6 this season
when trailing at the half. They
picked their first win against Wash
ington after trailing 22-23 at the half.
The Wolves are howling
Senior forward Angelina Wolvert
had one of her best weekends in an
Oregon uniform last week. She
recorded her first double-double of
the season against Washington State
last Thursday, tallying a career-high
32 points and 10 rebounds. Then,
against the Huskies, she grabbed a
career-high 17 rebounds to go along
with 13 points.
“I think her and Bri [senior Bri
anne Meharry] have really tried to
hold this thing together, but we
haven’t been able to put a lineup to
gether with all five people doing the
team thing,” Runge said.
From way downtown
Craighead is closing in on the
school record for the most three-point
field goals in a season. Missy Croshaw
owns the school record with 70 dur
ing the 1993-94 season, and Craig
head already has 63 this year.
She is also third on the all-time
list for career threes with 91. The
school record is 189, also held by
Croshaw.
Additionally, Craighead is third
in the Pac-10 with a .447 mark from
behind the three-point arc and third
in three-pointers per game (2.7.)
Mind over matter?
Senior forward Lindsey Dion’s
courageous play against the Huskies
guided the Ducks to victory—even
though she wrasn’t supposed to play
in the game because of her sprained
left ankle.
“To watch Lindsey Dion play on
an ankle that’s obviously very, very
painful — it’s hard to look at that
and not be inspired,” Runge said.
Her status for this weekend is still
day-to-day, depending on how the
ankle feels.
“It’s just depends on how much
pain she can tolerate,” Runge said.
“She’s not at risk of re-injuring it;
she’s just in a lot of pain. Not that
Lindsey can’t handle the pain, but
when her body won’t activate it...
it’s not even mind over matter. ”

day’s matchup with UCLA, will be
shown locally on Oregon Sports
Network.
Triple-double trouble
Oregon freshman Luke Jackson
scored a rare triple-double in the
Ducks’ 85-73 victory over Washing
ton Saturday.
How rare? It was the first Ore
gon triple-double since Ron Lee
did it in 1972. It was the first ever
scored by a freshman in a Pacific
10 Conference game. It was only
the 14th triple-double in the con
ference since the Pac-10 started
keeping track in 1985, and the
second for a freshman in that time
span.
Jackson’s 14 points were not a ca
reer high, but his 11 rebounds and
10 assists were career highs. Jack
son had only 31 career assists be
fore Saturday’s game.
Hicks throwing
a block party
Oregon center Julius Hicks has
picked up where Chris Christof
fersen left off when “Big Chris” in
jured his hand before the Ducks’
matchup with Arizona State. Hicks
has 10 blocks in the past three
games, and has spearheaded a de
fense that has allowed opponents
an average of 67.5 points in the last
four games.
“We’re just allowing him to get
into defensive position more,” Kent
said about Hicks. “It’s important for
us to keep him healthy. If he’s
healthy, obviously we’re a much
better basketball team.”
Hicks has picked up his offen
sive intensity as well. “Juice” av
erages 7.8 points per game, but is
shooting 64 percent from the field
to lead the Pac-10 in that category.
For what it's worth
Oregon’s Pit Crew will be happy
to know that Arizona forward
Michael Wright finally got caught.
In a game last weekend, Wright
was called for spending more than
10 seconds at the free-throw line.
When Arizona played in Eugene,
Duck fans counted the number of
seconds Wright took to release his
free throws out loud, often reaching
17 and 18 seconds.
Oregon will take on. Arizona in
Tucson March 3.
