Senior guard Shantay Legans, formerly of Cal, led the Golden Bears to a 107-103 double-overtime victory last time he met the Ducks on
Feb. 9,2002. He now plays for Fresno State and will face off against Oregon tonight.

from South Plains College, started
20 or more games for Fresno State
last season.
The Bulldogs lost three others —
Damon Jackson, Noel Felix and Travis
DeManby — from a team that aver
aged 37.8 rebounds per game and
held opponents to less than 67 points
per contest.
"Fresno State will be a very athlet
ic basketball team," Kent said. "This
is a good test for us because of some
of the similarities. They play a lot of
one-on-one basketball, they have a
pretty good system and are pretty
well coached. They really pound the
glass.
"Blocking out becomes a huge fac
tor. One-on-one defense becomes a
huge factor."
In the past...
Oregon and Fresno State have
played eight times, with the Ducks
winning six games.
The teams last played in 1996 with
Oregon getting the win, 87-75. The
Bulldogs last defeated the Ducks, 83
82, a year before.
Fresno State has never won at
McArthur Court, and the Ducks have
never won in Fresno.
Not the toughest schedule
Fresno State plays just two other
teams this season other than Oregon
that received votes in either the pre
season Associated Press Poll or
ESPN/LISA Today Coaches Poll.
Nevada, a WAC school, received
three votes in the latter poll, while
Creighton, which plays in the Mis
souri Valley Conference, received four
points in the AP Poll.
The Ducks received 33 points in the
AP Poll and 70 in the ESPN/USA To
day Coaches Poll.

Kirkland, Wash., has also been a force
on the boards and defensively, averag
ing 10 rebounds a game and challeng
ing almost every shot near the basket.
Junior Andrea Bills may not have
the outside game of Kraayeveld, but
the 6-foot-3-inch center doesn't
need it. Bills averaged 16.5 points
per game during Oregon's two exhi
bition games, but saved her best per
formance of the young season for
Sunday's battle with LSU. Bills, who
hails from Moreno Valley, Calif.,
found ways to get open under the
basket and punished Lady Tiger post
players to the tune of 21 points on
nine of 11 shooting.
More importantly, Bills' scoring to
tal was the timeliness of her baskets.
Every time the Lady Tigers started cut
ting into the Oregon lead, Bills would
find a way to score down low. Her
biggest basket of the night came with
3:45 remaining, after LSU had
trimmed Oregon's lead — which was

once 21 — to nine. Bills made herself
available under the basket, and, after
receiving a pass from point guard
Corrie Mizusawa, finished the play
with a layup and was fouled. Bills
converted the three-point play, giving
the Ducks a 66-54 lead which would
n't be threatened the rest of the way.
Forward Carolyn Ganes didn't pro
duce big offensive numbers over the
weekend, but she did grab seven re
bounds. The 6-foot-3-inch sopho
more showed her offensive capabili
ties in the Ducks' exhibition finale
against Western Oregon, finishing
with 22 points on 11 of 14 shooting.
The Saskatoon, Saskatchewan native
has the size and strength to bully de
fenders down low, but can take her
game outside as well, possessing the
soft touch of a jump shooter. She also
finished eighth in the Pacific-10 Con
ference in free throw accuracy at 79
percent last season. Ganes tied for the
team lead in scoring during her fresh
man campaign at 10.9 points per
game, while being voted the team's
Most Valuable Newcomer.

should be getting her first chance to
contribute soon. The 6-foot-6-inch
Portland native has missed every
game with what head coach Bev
Smith described as a stress reaction
above Shetters' ankle. Shetters showed
the capability to contribute in all as
pects at Oregon's intra-squad scrim
mage on Oct. 29. Offensively, Shetters
routinely knocked down jumpers in
the 18-foot range and was able to
score inside as well. Defensively, she
swatted away several inside shots
against players who weren't used to
her long wingspan.
As the season continues, Oregon's
post players will only get better. Once
Shetters returns to the floor, the Ducks
will have four players standing at least
6 feet 3 inches tall who can each score,
rebound and play defense.
This should be a promising season
for Oregon basketball.
