continued from page 7
aside from a few details, it would've
been tough to point out the differences.
So when Oregon came away the
winner in the first round Thursday, it
was no surprise. Had California come
away with the win, that wouldn't have
been a surprise; either.
Behold the beauty of the Pac-10, circa
2004. Aside from Stanford, and anytime
Arizona played Oregon, there's really
been no dominance from any one team.
Ihat dominance will be Oregon's big
test today. The Cardinal was in control
every step of the way in a 68-47 win
over Washington State prior to Ore
gon's victory over California.
While the Ducks could focus prima
rily on Leon Powe and Amit Tamir,
Stanford is almost faceless. Chris Her
nandez and Matt Lottich present the
same style of troubles for Oregon. They
can both knock down the long distance
shot and can handle the ball without
taking away any of the team's offensive
opportunities.
Joe Kirchofer, Rob Little and Matt
Haryasz could step in at any given time
and harass Oregon's big men. Each re
bounds, clogs the lane and has an abili
ty to play solid defense.
So you can see where the dominance
comes into play.
The only real player who stands out
as an individual star for Stanford is Pac
10 Player of the Year Josh Childress.
For Oregon to dull that Stanford
dominance, the Ducks will have to play
as a team. They'll have to see Stanford
as a balanced machine that can march
down the floor and ride itself to victory
with ease, or so it seems.
The Ducks cleared the line between
themselves and California by stopping
the Golden Bear's big men, Tamir and
Powe, to the point where outside play
really mattered.
But the Stanford big men aren't
Tamir or Powe. What does that mean?
"I think we're going to play them the
same," Oregon forward Jay Anderson
said. "We're probably not going to trap
as much. We'll try to keep them out of
the lane and try to make them make
shots over the top of us."
A major theme in Oregon's win over
California was offense, and plenty of it.
But that may have been the most visi
ble aspect of Oregon's victory.
The Ducks, though, showed a re
newed sense of energy and all-around
balance They were making plays on the
baseline, keeping the momentum in
Oregon's control. As much as the three
point play pushed the Ducks along,
their ability to stop California's outside
shot paid off. And that was made possi
ble by energy, and plenty of it.
"Coming down the stretch of the sea
son, our energy has come back to us,"
Oregon head coach Ernie Kent said. "We
feel like our energy and legs are back.
"We're going to need that energy to
monow, every ounce of it"
Otherwise, that line between the
Ducks and the Cardinal is going to be
crystal clear.

points in the first half.
Efficient may not be the best way to
describe Oregon's defensive effort, but
it was enough to keep one of the Pac
10's worst shooting teams from taking
control. Tamir scored just five points in
the second half, while the Golden Bears
(13-15) shot 52 percent from the field.
That, in itself, is impressive. But con
sider the fact that California took just
25 shots in the second half and that
impressiveness dims a bit.
"In the second half it was more of
just an effort to know where (Tamir)
is at all times, " Oregon forward Jay
Anderson said. "Just concentrate on
staying on him and not letting him
get an open look."
More than a minute after Brooks sank
the game's final three-pointer, he
knocked down two free throws, which
proved to be his final points of the game
A.J. Diggs scored the final two points
of his career five seconds later, pulling
California to within four. At that point,
though, the Golden Bears were forced
to foul often.
Oregon made five of six free throws
in the final 27 seconds of the game to
seal the victory.
"Give Oregon credit," California
head coach Ben Braun said. "They
made some big shots today."
The win earns Oregon another
crack against Stanford, a team the
Ducks haven't fared well against this
season. Stanford defeated Washing
ton State, 68-47, prior to Oregon's
game against California.
What will it take to defeat the
Cardinal?
"We're going to have to execute of
fensively, take good shots and defen
sively, we're just going to have to be ac
countable for every possession,"
Jackson said. "They have guys that give
up themselves just to play hard so we're
going to have to match that intensity.
"If we do that, I think we'll be right
there in the game."
