Arizona comes in at No. 10 and Oregon moved up two spots to No. 11, giving the Pac- 12 four teams in the top 11. No other conference team received votes this week. Arizona State is 4-4 to stay in the top half of the standings. Colorado and USC are 4-6 fol- lowed by Utah (3-9), Oregon State (1-5), Washington (1-6) and California (0-8). Poll watch UCLA moved up one spot to No. 5 in The Associated Press poll after its road win over then-No. 5 Stanford on Fri- day night. The Cardinal, who have lost back-to-back games, dropped one spot to No. 6. Standings With Stanford losing two in a row, the race for the regu- lar-season conference title has become a jumbled mess with five weeks left in the season. Stanford and Arizona are the leaders at 9-2 with the Cardinal holding a win over the Wildcats. Oregon is a half game back at 9-3 and UCLA is 7-2. The Bruins still have home games against Arizona and Or- egon. Washington State holds steady in fifth at 5-4 after end- ing a three-game slide with a 77-75 double-overtime win at Oregon State on Sunday. Players of the week UCLA sophomore Cha- risma Osborne scored 24 points to help lead the Bruins to a win over Stanford on Fri- day and was named the confer- ence’s player of the week for the second time this season and third time in her career. She also had a season-best nine re- bounds. Washington State’s Charlisse Leger-Walker earned her fifth freshman of the week honor after averaging 23 points, 6.5 rebounds and three steals a game in a split with the Oregon schools. She has scored in dou- ble figures in 12 straight games. and failed to win. Among the more crushing losses was the Waste Management Phoenix Open last year, when Webb Simpson birdied the last two holes to force a playoff and then made another birdie to win. It’s always someone else, and it only raises the same question. One victory in 168 chances with all that talent. Why? The next one — there will be a next one, right? — won’t change that. Charles Howell III has been dealing with it his entire career. Even when he won the RSM Classic at Sea Island at the end of 2018, the chatter inevitably got around to why he hadn’t won more than three times. It wasn’t a lack of effort by Howell, and it’s not by Finau. He has had six runner-up fin- ishes and 35 top 10s since his lone playoff victory in Puerto Rico. “We would have thought he would have won his sec- ond title by now,” Boyd Sum- merhays, his swing coach, told Golf Channel on Sunday. “You would have thought that. The fans would have thought that, which is why, behind the scenes, I’ve never seen him work as hard as he has the last year.” Finau left the desert encour- aged, the opposite of what it would seem. He said he usually has a pretty good sense when he walks off the final hole, and someone else is headed for the trophy presentation, how much a loss is going to sting. This wasn’t one of them. He felt he was headed in the right direc- tion. It’s not that the losses are mounting, because in no other sport does greatness have such a high rate of losing. The rate of winning is what stands out for Finau. And as Summerhays said, “Every tournament that goes by makes it more difficult. There’s no other way to look at it.” Finau conceded it gets tir- ing answering questions about when he will win again. For him, it only adds to the chal- lenge, which already has proven to be stout. “I’m going to have a lot of opportunities to win tourna- ments. That’s to me what the exciting thing is,” he said. “Ev- ery time I don’t close a tour- nament, I’m never thinking, ‘Wow, I let another slip. I’m never going to have this oppor- tunity again.’ For me it’s like, ‘What did I learn? How can I take what I learned into the next opportunity?’ “And I’ve got another oppor- tunity tomorrow.” He said this on Saturday af- ternoon, before the final round at PGA West. He gets another opportunity this week. That’s all he can ask for.

Ducks SPORTS BRIEFING Continued from A5 BASKETBALL Ducks men pause activities due to COVID-19 —The University of Oregon men’s basketball program announced Tuesday that it has paused all team-related activities because of COVID-19 protocols. As a result, the three scheduled games on the Ducks’ upcoming trip to Los Angeles, including two games at UCLA (Thursday, Jan. 28 and Monday, Feb. 1) and one at USC on Saturday, Jan. 30, have been postponed. Rescheduled dates for those games will be announced when finalized. FOOTBALL Super Bowl fan cutouts will fill seats — There will be 24,700 fans in attendance at Raymond James Stadium for Super Bowl 55, with an untold number of fan cutouts filling in the rest of the stadium. Each cutout costs $100 and comes with entry into a drawing for two tickets to Super Bowl 56 in Los Angeles. SKIING Schwarz gets 2nd win in Austrian night race — Right after finishing his second run and taking the lead in the race, Marco Schwarz held up one finger. There were still five more racers to come down at the World Cup night slalom on Tues- day, but the Austrian held on to his No. 1 position, topping Clément Noël by 0.68 seconds and Alexis Pinturault by 0.82. MIXED MARTIAL ARTS Conor McGregor sidelined up to 6 months following beatdown — Unless a doctor says otherwise, mixed martial arts star Conor McGregor cannot fight for 180 days following a beating he took in the ring Saturday night at the hands and feet of Dustin Poirier. SOFTBALL Ducks softball in top 11 of preseason polls — Oregon softball will open 2021 in the top 11 of the major polls. The Ducks are No. 10 in the preseason coaches poll and No. 11 in the USA Softball poll. Oregon went 22-2 in last year’s short- ened season. — Bulletin wire reports MEGA MILLIONS The numbers drawn Tuesday night are: 29 49 56 66 67 24 x 3 Oregon Lottery results The estimated jackpot is now $20 million. As listed at www.oregonlottery.org and individual lottery websites Despite losing to Arizona (57-41) the previous week, Graves said he was pleased with the defensive effort against the Wildcats and it was the one bright spot. “That’s four really good de- fensive efforts in a row and that’s going to go a long way,” Graves said after the WSU win on Friday. “We’re going to find our moxie, we’re going to get it together offensively. Right now it’s not clicking like it should, but it will, as long as we’re do- ing it on the defensive end.” The three-point shooting has hurt the No. 11 Ducks (11-3) in the last three games as they are a combined 14 for 56 in games against Arizona, Washington State and Washington. “I think we’re good shooters, Golf Continued from A5 Rickie Fowler is approaching the two-year anniversary of his last win and is out of the top 50 for the first time in seven years. Francesco Molinari tied for eighth last week. That was his first top 10 since he lost a two- shot lead on the back nine of the 2019 Masters, when he was No. 7 in the world. The British Open champion from 2018 is now at No. 110. Slumps are for those who have a history of winning. Finau should want to trade places. Instead, he heads from PGA West after another close call to Torrey Pines for what he sees as another opportunity. He is not easily discouraged, and that requires a different kind of strength. The American Express was the fourth time he has had at least a share of the 54-hole lead we’ll keep shooting the ball,” Graves said. “Taylor Mikesell got good looks (Sunday). If you watched her and most of the time she’s making those shots. We need to make more, pretty simple. … “Offensively it’s still kind of a struggle for whatever rea- son. We’re just not in any kind of a flow. But we’re going to make a lot of those shots that we missed, I think, I hope. I think defensively we’ve been doing a good job, that’s been a real plus. I think we can build on that.”
