I've been looking forward to this game for quite awhile. Before Reggie stepped up and showed everyone he may already be the best true point in WSU history, Jamil Wilson was a favorite for Pac-10 Freshman of the year, and still might have a shot if Oregon gets their act together.

I worry about all games, but this one especially makes me nervous. Oregon is a school that we just don't match up with very well. Oregon's finally getting back to full-strength. Pretty much all of their losses this year were either without Dunigan or Porter, and supposedly they're going to have Catron back for this afternoon. While I look forward to Klay shredding the Beavers' 2-3 for 40 points on Saturday, this one is going t make me nervous.

Key to the game? Casto staying out of foul trouble. This hasn't been much of an issue thus far, but this is the only team we play with a definitive size advantage over us until….well we play them again in March. How badly does Oregon want to see Charlie Enquist match up with Dunigan? Odds are this is the initial attack the Ducks will lob at us, and hopefully we have a counter for it.

I still think we win this game by 8 or 9, but with 3-4,000 people in the arena giving us a weak homecourt, I wouldn't be shocked if we started 0-1
