victory against Texas-Pan
American. Since then, it’s been
12 straight losses.
If Washington State is going
to make any kind of run at
eighth place, it’s going to have
to start on Thursday night
when the Cougars host the
Huskies.
Should the Cougars lose,
they’d be three games back of
their in-state rival and most
likely watching the Pac-10 tour
ney from Pullman.
Ducks out of polls,
still in bracket
After two weeks of being
attached to a ranking, Oregon
dropped out of both the writ
ers’ and the coaches’ polls
due to their weekend split
in Washington.
But the Ducks only fell one
seed in ESPN.corn’s weekly
“Bracketology,” where the en
tire NCAA Tournament field
is forecasted.
This week, the Ducks are
a sixth seed and are pro
jected to face llth-seeded
Iowa on March 15 in Pitts
burgh, Pa.
For those keeping track, there
are still 35 more days until Se
lection Sunday.

And a few predictions...
St. Louis’ spread in the Super Bowl is
more than 15 points. Apparently the guys
in Vegas haven’t been watching the Pats
lately. Underdog Drew Bledsoe will re
place starter Tom Brady in the second
quarter and lead New England to a 34-28
victory. I can’t wait for the commercials...
The SUPER-Sonics will dismantle the
always-TRAILING-Blazers tonight in Seat
tle. The Blazers will not reach the playoffs.
For that matter, neither will the Sonics...
In two years, Luke Ridnour—
who reportedly considered leaving Oregon
after last year’s 14-14 embarrassment—will
be a first-round pick in the NBA Draft.
