The girl and the game
Wilson
should
have
known
Teresa Wilson is a legend in softball
drdes.
She set records as an All-American
pitcher at Missouri.
She earned National Coach of the
Year in 1989 when she led Oregon to
the Women's College World Series.
After two years heading the softball
program at Minnesota, Wilson took an
offer she couldn't refuse in 1992 — a
move to Seattle to become Washington's
head coach and to build the softball pro
gram, literally from the ground up.
One of Barbara Hedges' first acts as
athletic director was hiring Wilson,
ffedges gave Wilson the help of full
scholarships and built a $3 million
softball park.
And Wilson, a native of Pickering,
Mo., ran with it. The first offidal game
her program played was a victory
against then-No. 11 Michigan. The
Huskies have earned a berth in the
NCAA Tournament every year since
their second season.
Now, official on Dec. 22, Wilson is

with Lincoln at the point. Senior
James Davis is set to be Lincoln's
backup.
That should mean more playing
time for Jordan Kent, and it will
force Luke Jackson to stay on the
perimeter to make up for any out
side shots that Davis will have to
pass up while running the offense.
"You've got to get used to a new
point guard," senior Andre Joseph
said when asked if any changes
could be in store on offense.
"Brandon has to get used to push
ing the ball a little faster, like
Aaron. We'll be all right."
When Luke Ridnour was
charged with two first-half fouls
against Stanford at McArthur
Court last season, Lincoln ad
mirably filled in. He scored four
points in 19 minutes against the
Cardinal and helped to get the 79
64 win.
"Brandon is a good shooter and
he's a smart player," Jackson said.
"He's had some experience at the
one, behind Rid last year and then
a little bit this year, so 1 think he's
definitely capable of stepping in
and being a real good contributor
for us."
Brooks returned home from the
hospital yesterday, head coach
Ernie Kent said, and doctors said
surgery went smoothly. He is set
to be evaluated on Jan. 14, and if
all is well, he will be fitted for a
hard cast.
The initial estimate of a six- to
eight-week time period for Brooks'
return is still accurate, Kent said.
Platt gets back to action
After missing the previous four
games because of a high ankle
sprain suffered at the Pape Jam on
Dec. 6, freshman forward Mitch
Platt saw action against USC and
UCLA last week.
He scored two points against the
Trojans and six against the Bruins
in a losing effort.
"(The ankle) feels pretty good,"
Platt said. "It takes a little while to
get warmed up, but once I'm
warmed up, I feel pretty good."
Against UCLA, Platt played 15
minutes but fouled out.
He still isn't at 100 percent, but he
said he's close, estimating his health
at 80 to 85 percent of normal.
"I definitely need to get into bet
ter shape so I can get up and down
the floor a little quicker," Platt
said. "I think that's what caused all
the foul trouble. I was just a little
slow-footed."
So far this season, the Hender
son, Nev., native is averaging 4.8
points and 3.8 rebounds per game.
The Ducks were 2-2 without
him in the lineup.
Lee induction
Former Oregon star Ron Lee is
set to be inducted into the Pac-10
Hall of Fame during the confer
ence tournament in March.
Lee, who played for the Ducks
from 1972-76, is first in the pro
gram's history in scoring with
2,085 points for his career. His 41
points against Seattle in 1976
stands as the second-most points
in a single game by a Duck.
Other Pac-10 notables to be in
ducted include former California
guard Jason Kidd and Washington
State's George Raveling. Each con
ference team will be represented
with one induction.
Bracket buster
Joe Lunardi, bracket master at
ESPN.com, came out with his first
regular-season Bracketology report
on Monday.
Lunardi has the Ducks opening
the NCAA Tournament as the No.
11 seed in the South, set to play
against No. 6 Wisconsin in the first
round in Seattle.
Adam Amato Photo Editor
Mitch Platt returned to the lineup in Oregon’s win over USC on Friday.
"Ducks haven't really done enough
to earn this spot, but I can't — even
with this earliest projection — include
only two Pac-10 teams," Lunardi wrote
in his report. "But the immediate
league schedule is kind, so Oregon
may get on the kind of roll it needs to
solidify their position."
If the projection is indeed correct,
and the Ducks were to win their first
game, it could possibly set up a North
west battle. Gonzaga, projected as the
No. 3 seed, plays No. 14 Boston and
would be a runaway pick to win against
the Terriers.
Arizona was selected as the No. 1
team in the West region, set to open
against Weber State. Stanford, the only
other team from the Pac-10 to get a nod,
is the No. 2 seed in the Midwest and
would play the Patriot League's Lafayette
