very aggressive team. We're going to
have to be aggressive offensively to
combat that."
Oregon was aggressive during its fi
nal week of conference play. The
Ducks lit a fire under themselves and
fought for a win against then-No. 10
Stanford before taking control of the
Golden Bears for a confidence- and
momentum-building victory.
Now, Oregon turns around and
plays California again.
"1 think it is a positive that we get to
turn around and play them right away,"
Oregon forward Kedzie Gunderson
said. "We already prepared for them last
week, so this week has just been focus

up, but when it comes
down to it, this weekend
is very important for us,
so injuries are the last
thing on our mind."

ing on things we, as a team, can im
prove on to fix some of our mistakes.
"We are all kind of beat up, but
when it comes down to it, this week
end is very important for us, so in
juries are the last thing on our mind.
After the season (is over) is when we
get to focus on getting those better."
The Ducks' season will likely end
this weekend. If Oregon wins today,
it will finish with at least a .500
record, which makes the Ducks eligi
ble for an NIT berth. They can choose
not to accept it if they feel that their
injuries — an ankle on Bills, torn lat
eral meniscus' on Corrie Mizusawa
and Chelsea Wagner, and an assort
ment of bumps and bruises on the
rest of the team — need to be tended.
If the Ducks win the tournament this
weekend, they will earn an automatic
berth into the NCAA Tournament.

Tournament in San Jose, Calif., as the conference's No. 9-seeded team.

and California on Saturday.
2. Arizona (22-7,14-4)
The Wildcats dosed out the regular
season with four consecutive wins,
earning a share of the program's first
ever Pac-10 title.
Arizona is led by a pair of all-con
ference honorees in sophomore
center Shawntinice Polk and junior
guard Dee-Dee Wheeler. The duo's
amazing blend of size and speed is
often too much for opponents to
handle and makes the Wildcats one
of the most dangerous teams in the
tournament.
The Wildcats will face the winner of
Oregon State and Washington State
on Saturday.
3. Southern California
(15-12,11-7)
The Women of Troy are led by three
time All-Pac-10 forward Ebony
Hoffman, who averaged 15 points and
8.2 rebounds per game during the regu
lar season. USC will face Washington
on Saturday.
4. UCLA (16-11,11-7)
Ihe Bruins feature one of the Pac-10's
top backcourts with Nikki Blue and
Freshman of the Year Noelle Quinn.
UCLA will face Arizona State in one of
Saturday's best match-ups.
5. Arizona State (17-10,11-7)
The Sun Devils look to the trio of Ky
lan Loney, Kristen Kovesdy and Betsy
Boardman for most of the team's offen
sive production.
6. Washington (16-11,9-9)
The key to the Huskies' success lies
squarely on the shoulders of Giuliana
Mendiola. The Pac-10's leading scorer
will have to dominate if Washington is
to have a chance All-Conference center
Andrea Lalum adds scoring punch.
7. Oregon State (14-13,8-10)
The Beavers will need a huge tour
nament from junior-transfer Shan
non Howell to be successful. Howell
was the only Pac-10 player to record a
40-point game this season.
8. Oregon (14-14,6-12)
The Ducks enter the tournament
with momentum on their side after de
feating then-No. '10 Stanford and Cali
fornia last week.
9. California (11-16,4-14)
The Golden Bears won two of their
last three games and will be led by
Pac-10 Coach of the Year Caren
Horstmeyer. Guard Nihan Anaz is the
team's top offensive threat.
10. Washington State
(6-21,2-16)
The Cougars will rely on forward
Bianca McCall to keep them close.
Washington State has won 10 confer
ence games in the past five years.
