OK, so the two exhibition games the Ducks have played this season — they scored 100 in the first game and 114 Friday against Southern Oregon — don’t count. But that’s still impressive to the Ducks. “I think the thing that you have to look at is shooting percentage,” head coach Bev Smith said. “Our team is shooting the ball very, very well. Any time you can finish the game at 54 percent, shooting 24 3-pointers, I think that we have to very happy.” Playing a zone defense against Southern Oregon, the Oregon of fense tore into the Raiders, using its traditional up-tempo offense to ex ploit mistakes. The Ducks shot 53 percent in the first half, and 56 percent in the sec ond stanza. “We were wide open (in their zone), but you still have to hit your shots,” Smith said. “Even though it was a smaller team, our post play ers worked harder in the second half to establish position and that way we were able to take advantage of our size.” The 3-pointers and post play are two key contributing factors the Ducks hope to take advantage of when regular season and Pacific-10 Conference play begins. Bring on the Zags...er, Bulldogs No matter what you call it, Gonza ga brings Oregon its first true test of the 2002-03 season when the Bull dogs visit McArthur Court on Friday. The two squads have not met of ten, playing only six times since 1986. The Ducks have never lost to Gonzaga, with Oregon’s closest vic tory a 64-60 win in Eugene in 1989. The last time the two played, in 1996, the Ducks dominated, win ning 52-33. A year ago, the Bulldogs went 11 18 overall and 2-12 in the West Coast Conference. Gonzaga has lost seven-straight, dating back to last season. Poll me The start of the Pac-10 season is still more than a month away, but the Ducks already know they’ve got expectations. The Pac-10 preseason coaches poll placed the Ducks at third in the conference, just behind No. 1 Stan ford and No. 2 Washington. Of the Pac-lO’s 10 first-place votes, the Ducks received one while the Cardi nal scooped up the rest. The Pac-lO’s media believe the same, although Oregon did not re ceive a first-place vote there. The Ducks were again behind Stanford and Washington in expected order of finish in the media poll. Contact the sports reporter at hankhager@dailyemerald.com. Pac-10 continued from page 5 it was a good win for the Huskies,” Price told The Seattle Times. “It gives them a lot of momentum going into (the Apple Cup).” Return of the Mack Arizona head coach John Mack ovic was embattled last week, but he’s battled back. Less than a week after nearly half the Wildcat team went to the uni versity’s president to complain Crew continued from page 5 Coordinator Sarah Higginbotham said. “We have conditioning in the off season, in what are basically the win ter months. We travel and practice as a team, guys and girls together.” Peters studied under successful pro grams, trying to soak up as much as he about Mackovic’s coaching style, the coach led Arizona to a 52-41, come-from-behind victory over California on Saturday. Mackovic was hoisted on to his players’ shoulders after the win. Jason Johnson, playing with an ankle injury, overcame an early in terqeption to throw for a school record 492 yards. The Wildcats en tered the fourth quarter down 34-31, but stormed back to beat the Bears in Berkeley.

Now he has. “I feel this program has the poten tial to do much better,” Peters said. “We have a lot of talent just walking around campus, and if they would just come out and try crew, this school could have something really special.” Scott Archer is a freelance writer for the Emerald.
