Men’s
continued from page 9A
here that was capable of winning,
but we still came up short,” said
Jones, whose 10 rebounds gave him
his fourth career double-double.
Jones seemed to make big play af
ter big play, but he wasn’t around
for the game’s conclusion as he
fouled out with 24 seconds left in
overtime with the Ducks trailing,
87-85. He committed his fifth foul
when he got caught up with Stan
ford’s Casey Jacobsen in mid-air
with the shot clock winding down.
“I’m upset with myself that I’m
in that situation (of having fouled
out),” Jones said of his reaction to
walking off the court amid the
taunts of the Cardinal student sec
tion. “I wanted to be out there fight
ing with my teammates.”
Jacobsen, who had missed four
previous free throws, proceeded to
calmly connect on the last two of
his game-high 41 points, but this
game was far from over.
Ridnour was fouled on the other
end of the court and made both of
his free throws to cut the lead to
two. Giovacchini then was fouled
and made his two free throws.
Instead of attempting a three
with 17 seconds left, Ridnour
dashed coast-to-coast for a layin to
bring the deficit back to two. And
again, Giovacchini was fouled.
This time, though, the Stanford
senior missed one of two, setting up
the game’s final play with Oregon
trailing by three and 12 seconds
showing on the clock.
Ridnour drove, lost control of the
ball at the top of key around a wall
of defenders, dove to the floor and
scooted the ball behind him. Ore
gon’s Johnson scooped it up and
heaved a desperation three that
clanged off the rim to end the in
tense affair.
“It was a tough shot, but hey, it
was a great game,” Johnson said.
“We played Stanford tough. We just
can’t even begin to describe how
heartbreaking this is.”
The feeling was more of elation
on the Ducks’ bench in the closing
minute of regulation after they
forced Jacobsen to miss a tough
jumper with 15 seconds left and
Jones skied for the rebound.
Jones was fouled, connected on
both free throws to give the Ducks
a three-point lead, and Oregon’s
first win at Maples in 16 tries ap
peared to be a reality with 14 sec
onds left to defend the Cardinal
(14-6, 7-4).
Oregon did what it wanted as it
forced Jacobsen to give the ball up,
but that’s when Giovacchini threw
up his NBA-range three-pointer
that accounted for his only field
goal on the night.
“I don’t think I’ve ever taken a
shot like that,” he said.
Oregon head coach Ernie Kent
isn’t sure his team has ever played
a game quite like that. Kent
stressed afterwards how proud he
was of his team.
And he expressed the utmost
confidence in his team and doesn’t
believe there will be a lack of ener
gy on Saturday in Berkeley when
they play the Golden Bears at 5
p.m. on ABC.
“These are young guys and if
you put a rap concert on Saturday
at 5 o’clock, they’d have a lot of
energy so they’ll be ready,” Kent
said. “We’re playing for the Pac
10 championship. You can rest in
April.
“This team will bounce back.”
That the Ducks could have the
perspective of the big picture just
moments after such a devastating
defeat is as big a sign as any that
they will do just that.

coming — and so did the Cardinal.
‘Up six with that much time
left you might as well be tied with
S'iiford,” Williams said. “You
ud’t take comfort in that.”
Fowell nailed a three just after
Lhe halfway point of the second
half to knot the game at 56, which
is v/here the game stood for near
ly live minutes. Freshman center
Andrea Bills scored a bucket in
side to give the Ducks a 58-56
lead, which would prove to be
their last.
“I knew we were going to win
this game,” said Powell, who fin
ished the game with 20 points, six
rebounds and six assists. “(Oregon)
took it to us, but we kept our poise
and didn’t panic.”
All of Stanford’s points in the fi
nal four minutes came at the chari
ty stripe as the Cardinal converted
17-of-20 free throws.
“One of the things we talked
about in practice was trying to give
our maximum effort,” Oregon head
coach Bev Smith said. “I think
everyone left the floor tonight with
nothing left to give.”
Williams paced the Ducks with
22 points, but no one else scored
in double figures. Kraayeveld had
eight points and nine rebounds.
E-mail sports editor Adam Jude
at adamjude@dailyemerald.com.
Women’s side
continued from page 9A
in the conference, albeit by a
thread. Arizona is tied with the
Ducks, but has one less overall win.
Now the Ducks await California
(6-16, 1-12), but are on shaky
ground. Oregon has lost its last
three games, and desperately need
a win against the Golden Bears.
“Coming out and playing the
way we did, we proved we can
play with a team like (Stanford),”
sophomore Cathrine Kraayeveld
said. “Now we just have to bring
that same confidence on Satur
day.”
Said Smith: “There’s four games
left and the tournament still, and
we’ve got a statement to make.”
They’ll have to make that state
ment fast as the season is quickly
coming to a close.

Horoscope by Linda C. Black
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 8). Start by review
ing your notes on research you've already done.
That will be the foundation for you to build upon,
"antasies are great, but this year it's practical,
commonsense reality that you're after.
To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10
is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) - Today is a 7 - It's
time for your big report. You get to explain what
you've done, and why. It could be to reporters,
because of your heroic deeds. It could be to a
potential new employer, as you apply for a better
job. Be confident, accurate and thorough, but
not arrogant, and you'll do fine.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - Today is a 6 - You
can find the right words to express your con
cerns, but should you utter them? Maybe not. If
you suspect that an influential person isn't inter
ested, you're right. No point in talking to a brick
wall. Wait for a better time.
GEMINI (May 21 -June 21) - Today is a 7 - You'd
like to run and play, but that's not a good idea.
Do the calculations instead. Run the numbers.
What will you need? What do you have? It's
good for you to know.
CANCER (June 22-July 22) - Today is a 6 - You
may have thought you were all alone. You know
now that you were wrong. A person who isn't
afraid of hard work is willing to lend a hand. To
gether, even the toughest job will be almost fun.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - Today is an 8 - You con
tinue to work best with a strong partner. You're
more effective than you would be on your own.
Don't be jealous if this person's getting all the
attention. Be his or her biggest fan.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Today is a 7 - Make
3 extra time to relax with a special person. Share a
meal and talk about what you've been through.
You'll get some practical advice and, perhaps
even more important, a well-earned hug or two.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct 22) - Today is an 8 - Take a
tew moments to get your house in order. You
may soon want to entertain a very special per
son. Get as much paperwork done as you can,
too. Don't leave any loose ends.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) - Today is a 6 -
Draw upon your own experience, or somebody
else's, to get through a difficult situation. It's all
about being stubborn, never giving up, and not
taking ■no" for an answer.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) - Today is a 6 -
No getting around it, you have to crunch the
numbers. How much will it cost, and how much
will you get? Look hard for hidden expenses.
They're in there.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Today is a 7 -
Money is still on your mind, as well it should be.
You could make, or lose, a lot in the next few
days. Don't gamble. Base your decisions on ex
perience, and achieve a dream.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) - Today is a 7 - In
formation you've been trying to find suddenly
becomes available. Somebody has stopped giv
ing you the runaround. Gather up as much as
you can before this window of opportunity
slams shut.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) - Today is a 7 - You
still have a lot on your mind, so it's hard to be
objective. That's where your practical friend
comes in. Together, set priorities. Some of the
things you're concerned about can wait. Get
help deciding which ones.
