“I would very much like that to
be the case,” Hoyles said of playing
the tournament at a neutral site.
Next year’s tournament will likely be
held at die Compaq Center in San Jose,
Calif., which the Pac-10 is expected to
officially announce later this week.
“Our administrators initially
wanted to kick off the tournament
for women in an environment
where there would be guaranteed a
good crowd,” Hoyles said of play
ing at Mac Court. “It’s much more
exciting for our student-athletes to
play in front of a good crowd than a
nice, lavish, empty building.”
Organizing the tournament in
a campus arena has its chal
lenges, though.
“No one’s regular facility was
built with a 10-team tournament in
mind,” Hoyles said. “There are so
many things going on besides just
basketball games, that in order to
compensate all of those needs, we
really need to look off-campus.”
Most of the Pac-10 coaches agree.
“From a coaching standpoint,
neutral site all the way,” Arizona
State coach Charli Turner Thorne
said. “But I’m not sure how neu
tral the Bay Area is, so in that
sense I’d like to see the neutral site
moved around.”
“I like neutral site ... if you have
a community that is going to rally
around women’s basketball. And r
San Jose has done that,” USC coach
Chris Gobrecht said.
Ragland named
Player of Week
For the third time in her career,
Oregon State senior guard Felicia
Ragland has been named the Pac
10 Player of the Week.
Ragland had a game-high 25
points in the Beavers’ 73-71 over
time win at Washington last Thurs
day. She also had a game-high 17
points in a win over Washington
State on Saturday.
Oregon State is the fifth seed
in the Pac-10 Tournament and
will play fourth-seed USC at 8:15
p.m. Saturday.
Ragland, the 2001 Pac-10 Player of
the Year, led the conference in scoring
this season with 20 points per game.
The conference Player of the
Year and all-team selections will
be announced at a banquet on
Thursday evening.

How to spell W-O-O-D-E-N
USC forward Sam Clancy could
be rejected early for the Wooden
Award — given to the nation’s best
player—as he cannot meet the min
imum GPA requirements, according
to the Los Angeles Daily News. Clan
cy reportedly has a GPA of 1.9,
which meets the minimum for the
NCAA but not the Wooden Award
selection committee, which re
quires a minimum GPA of 2.0.
The news of Clancy’s academic
struggles proved to be perfect ma
terial for the rowdy fans at Califor
nia, who waved signs that said “1.9
G.P.A.” at Clancy during the Tro
jan-Golden Bear game on Saturday.
The affect was dramatic. Clancy
had his string of 11-straight dou
ble-doubles snapped, and scored
only 11 points in USC’s 83-64 loss.
But afterwards, Clancy told the
Daily Californian that the taunting
crowd didn’t affect him.
“You can’t let the crowd get in your
head,” Clancy said “It’snotthefirsttime
the crowd was talking stuff about me.
Oregon’s better anyway.”
