WOMEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL
Beavers hope to play their way into postseason
at USC (Friday), at UCLA (Sunday), at
Oregon (Feb. 28). A win over any of those
teams should improve the Beavers’ cur-
rent NCAA NET ranking of No. 52. At the
moment, all are Quad 1 wins, which the
NCAA tournament committee covets.
In addition, Rueck mentioned the possi-
bility of playing a makeup game next week.
He didn’t disclose the opponent, but said it
is a team that “will help us.” There’s also a
possibility of playing one or more makeup
games following the Pac-12 tournament.
And there’s the conference tournament,
where Oregon State could play as many
as four games. The Beavers could signifi-
cantly enhance their resume playing any
of the Pac-12’s top eight teams, as all rank
among the top 75 in NET ranking.
“We need to win games, bottom line,
then take (the decision) out of people’s
hands. That’s been my philosophy forever,”
Rueck said. “I don’t want to be a bubble
team. I want this team to compete and
earn a spot like we’ve done for so many
years now. … We’re in a position where we
could play our way in.”
by both Joe Lunardi of ESPN (playing No.
7 Arkansas) and Jerry Palm of CBSsports.
com (playing No. 7 Purdue). Andy Katz of
NCAA.com had the Ducks as a No. 9 seed
playing No. 8 Louisville.
Of course, those projections could swing
dramatically in either direction before Se-
lection Sunday on March 14 as the Ducks
work their way through the final five
games of the regular season and then the
Pac-12 Tournament in Las Vegas.
“I think (the players) understand that we
have to have a good stretch here,” Altman
said. “Our job as coaches is just to get them
ready for Colorado. We don’t talk about the
whole thing, we just talk about continuing
to get better and the next one on the sched-
ule is Colorado.”
One potential wildcard over the remain-
ing 17 days of the regular season is if the
Ducks will get a chance to make up any of
their five postponed games — two against
UCLA and one each against USC, Arizona
State and Arizona. Chances are Oregon
could fit at least one game in during the
week between the Feb. 27 game at Califor-
nia and the March 6 season-finale at Ore-
gon State, though nothing has been sched-
uled.
“I still want to play a couple of those
games,” Altman said. “But that’s the
league’s decision and not mine. Hopefully
we can get a couple games added yet and
just swing away down the stretch and get
better, win our share of them and improve
as a team.”

Mickelson and Bubba Watson, each with
five.
“I feel like it’s a tough golf course,” John-
son said. “You’ve got to drive it well, you’ve
got to be really spot on with your irons
and distance control, shot shapes into the
green. I think it kind of makes you think
on every shot you’re hitting off the tee,
coming into the greens and then even
when you’re on the greens.”
Only two players from the top 10 in the
world — Tyrrell Hatton of England and
Webb Simpson — are not at Riviera. Nei-
ther is the tournament host, Tiger Woods,
who is still recovering from his most re-
cent back surgery.
It speaks to the love of Riviera, and the
prestige that comes with winning can feel
equal to the World Golf Championship
that is being played next week in Florida.
“To win on quality golf courses is just a
little something extra,” Adam Scott said.
His victory last year was his second at
Riviera, at least in his books, though not
in the PGA Tour tally. Scott won in 2005
when there was so much rain the tourna-
ment was cut to 36 holes (he won in a play-
off) and not deemed official.
But there’s no doubt he’d like to win
again, because of the course, because of
the field.
“I think everyone, or certainly top play-
ers, have such a big focus on major cham-
pionships, then a few other champion-
ships,” Scott said. “Generally, the quality
of golf course they’re played on is at a very
high standard and Riviera fits that cate-
gory. I feel like if you’ve had a good week
here, it’s a good measure certainly gener-
ally of where your game is at.”
BY NICK DASCHEL
The Oregonian
The view is unfamiliar to Oregon State.
The view of being on the outside, looking
in at the potential NCAA women’s basket-
ball tournament field.
As of today, the Beavers are not in the
64-team tourney. The pandemic has tak-
ing a wrecking ball to OSU’s season and
the schedule. OSU is 6-6 overall, and sit in
ninth place in the Pac-12 standings at 4-6.
The Beavers have played as many as eight
fewer conference games than team above
them in the standings because of numer-
ous postponements.
Is there a path to the NCAAs, where the
Beavers have made six consecutive appear-
ances? Oregon State coach Scott Rueck
believes so, and not necessarily one that re-
quires the Beavers to win the Pac-12 tour-
nament, either.
OSU has three resume-building games
to finish its schedule. All are on the road:

BASKETBALL
Lillard to participate in 3-point contest — Portland
Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard is participating in the
3-point contest in Atlanta on March 7, according to NBA In-
sider Chris Haynes of Yahoo! Sports. This will be Lillard’s
third time participating in the contest. Lillard is currently at-
tempting 10.6 3s per game, shooting 38% from that area this
season. The NBA plans to hold the 3-point contest and skills
challenge before the All-Star game on the same day. The slam
dunk contest will reportedly take place during halftime.

Tatis Jr. agrees to 14-year deal with Padres — Fernando
Tatis Jr. has agreed to a 14-year deal that will keep the electrify-
ing shortstop with the San Diego Padres until he’s 35 years old,
according to two people familiar with the situation. Reports
from The Athletic and others indicate the contract is worth
$340 million. The two people spoke on condition of anonymity
Wednesday night because the deal hadn’t been announced.

Continued from A5
“He has not practiced the last two days,”
Altman said Wednesday morning. “I’m
hoping he’ll be able to practice a little today
and go, but it’ll be a game-time (decision).
He wanted to go against Arizona and he
just couldn’t, and I know he’ll want to go to-
morrow. We’ll see what he can do today.”
The Ducks’ road sweep of the Wildcats
and Arizona State last weekend certainly
helped their NCAA Tournament prospects,
and they’ll get even better if they can beat
the Buffaloes.

ings, while Colorado is No. 20.

Johnson won in Saudi Arabia two weeks
ago. Not only was it his third victory in his
last nine events — one of those at Augusta
National in the Masters — only twice in
that span has he finished worse than sec-
ond.
He is on one of his favorite courses. A
lot of players feel that way, but not to the
point of naming their son after Riviera
(Johnson’s youngest is River).
Johnson won the Genesis Invitational in
2017 by five shots when he first rose to No.
1 in the world. He has been runner-up on
two other occasions, along with two other
finishes in the top five. Dating to 2008, his
rookie year, Johnson has 12 rounds of 66
or lower at Riviera. Next on that list is Phil
