Oregon scores
at record pace
Oregon has impressed in its first
two victories, posting 100
points in both exhibition games
Women’s basketball
Hank Hager
Sports Reporter
You’d have to travel all the way
back to the 1990-91 season to find
the last time the Oregon women’s
basketball team posted two 100
point games in a single season.
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.

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).”

Arizona head coach John Mack

he’s battled back.

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.

could so he could one day take over a
program of his own. 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.”
