Andrea Bills surpasses 1,000 points as a Duck
BY STEPHEN MILLER
SPORTS REPORTER
CORVALLIS — One Oregon
women’s basketball player came into
Saturday’s Civil War more focused
than anyone else on the floor.
Senior Andrea Bills was so locked in
that she didn’t notice Oregon State
guard Mandy Close shaking hands
with each Duck starter before tip-off.
Close caught Bills’ attention by reach
ing out and grabbing her hand.
After a glance and a quick smile,
Bills went back into her zone and
swatted the jump ball to a teammate.
Bills shot 7 of 10 and finished with
17 points to tie a season-high and
reach the 1,000-point career mark
She missed her first three shot at
tempts of the game, but each of hei
next seven fell in. The 6-foot-4 centei
hauled in all seven of her rebound:
in the first half and recorded three o
her four blocks before halftime.
That fiery play seemed to motivate
Oregon’s bench in the second half
which was Bills’ goal.
Basketball fans have seen some
less-familiar faces come off Oregon’:
bench and make a significant impac
with substantial playing time.
This time it was sophomore guarc
Cicely Oaks, scoring nine points in a:
many minutes and shining on the
defensive end with three steals.
“It’s exciting when other players
can go in and have a big game,” Bills
said. “It starts with us at the beginning
of the game, going out and playing
hard and aggressive and then letting
others come out and do their jobs.”
Oaks had scored five points in five
games over a total of 16 minutes this
season and was filling in for senior
Brandi Davis, who was ill. Oaks got
in and sustained Oregon’s offensive
and defensive intensity.
“We have a really deep bench, and
it really showed with our players —
particularly Cicely and Yadili (Ok
wumabua),” Oregon head coach Bev
Smith said. “They’ve been playing
well and going very hard in practice.
That’s why we’re as competitive as
we are, because (Cathrine
Kraayeveld) goes against Yadili every
day. Cicely pushes Kaela (Chapde
laine), Brandi and Chelsea (Wagner).
“Their opportunity came tonight,
and they took advantage of it.”
Bills went to the bench eight min
utes into the second half. Oregon’s
other starters were also rested.
Kraayeveld was the only player who
played more than 30 minutes (31).
“The confidence level for them
now is so high,” Wagner said about
Oregon’s bench players. “We can take
a breather and then do a better job
when we go in with some rest.”
At times in the second half, the
Ducks played with one or no
starters on the floor, while Oregon
State could not afford to pull senior
Shannon Howell — its leading scor
er — for more than four minutes.
Howell didn’t notice any difference
in Oregon’s pressure once its re
serves came in.
“Their subs and everything were
the same,” Howell said. “All their
players played the same — I don’t
think it was different.”
