As if we needed another reason to despise Los Angeles: Last week, UO’s tough-as-nails women's basketball team left Eugene undefeated after 11 games. They fl ew to L.A. and came home Monday downcast after two losses, fi rst at the hands of UCLA and then to USC. The Lady Ducks lead powerhouse UCLA into the second half, when Bruins guards Nirra Fields and Kari Korver began sinking three-pointers like they’d suddenly grown bored with scoring only two points at a time. The USC game followed a similar arcing trajectory. But, the past is the past. And jocks know sport is about the present moment and the future. Looking ahead, UO’s losses in L.A. set up an intriguing matchup against rivals to the north, OSU’s Beavers. The She Beavs are fi erce, high-ranked PAC 12 players who shut down USC only a few days ago — a game in which senior Ruth Hamblin scored her 1,000th career point. Basketball fans know this could be 2015-16’s real Civil War game. And tickets are cheap! And it happens twice, Friday and Sunday, though only one is a home game. And probably nobody’ll show up because women’s b-ball gets no respect. UO women’s basketball meets OSU 7pm Friday, Jan. 8, in Corvallis’ Gill Coliseum. They compete again noon Sunday, Jan. 10, at Matthew Knight Arena, 1776 E. 13th Ave.; $6-$12. 14 JANUARY 7, 2016 • EUGENEWEEKLY.COM
