Los Angeles’ Staples Center and
will play eighth-seeded Washing
ton at 1:15 p.m. Thursday on Fox
Sports Net.
In other first round pairings, No. 4
USC plays No. 5 Stanford, No. 2 Ari
zona plays No. 7 Arizona State and
No. 3 California plays No. 6 UCLA.
If the Ducks do get past the
Huskies, which is no certainty giv
en how well Washington has
played against Oregon, the Ducks
would advance and play either the
Cardinal or the Trojans at 6 p.m.
Friday. The championship game is
set for 3 p.m. Saturday and will be
nationally televised on CBS.
Tickets for the Pac-10 Tourna
ment are still available and can be
purchased through the UCLA ticket
office at (310) 825-2946 or via the
Pac-10 Web site at http://store.fan

The Final Bracketology
Oregon has played itself right
into where it wants to be.
In ESPN.com’s latest “Bracketol
ogy,” where the entire NCAA Tour
nament field is projected, the Ducks
have jumped all the way to a covet
ed No. 2 seed in the West region.
Oregon is predicted to play
McNeese State (19-8) on March
14 in Arco Arena in Sacramen
to. If the Ducks were to get past
the McNeese State Cowboys,
they’d face a likely second
round match-up with seventh
seeded Wisconsin.
Looking further in the bracket
that ESPN’s Joe Lunardi has pro
jected, if Oregon were to win two
games, it would stay in California
and play in San Jose for the Sweet
16. Probable opponents for that
match-up would be No. 3 seed
Gonzaga or No. 6 seed Texas Tech,
which is coached by none other
than Bobby Knight.
And if the Ducks win that game?
Well, then they could be facing off
with the top-seeded. Oklahoma
Sooners for a berth in the Final Four.
But this is all fantasy talk right
now. The conference tournaments
take place this weekend, and a lot
still can change.
Nobody will know for certain
until the real bracket is released
on the Selection Sunday show,
which will begin at 3 p.m. Sun
day on CBS. Fans are encour
aged to come watch the show
live with the Oregon team on
big screen televisions at
McArthur Court.
“The real celebration will be on
Selection Sunday because I think
that’s a time where we’ll celebrate
the Pac-10 championship and have
the fans experience that with us,”
Kent said.
