TONIGHT’S GAMES

WOMEN

* Oregon (9-3, 2-1) at No. 22 UCLA (8-3, 2-0), 7, Pauley Pavilion -- If Oregon was looking ahead to this meeting with the Bruins, it paid a big price by losing at USC on Sunday. But the Ducks remain a challenge because of their strong frontcourt of Catherine Kraayeveld, Kristen Forristall and Andrea Bills. The threesome had 29 of Oregon’s 44 rebounds on Sunday as Kraayeveld accounted for 18. Still, the Bruins have a comfort level at home, where they haven’t lost this season.

* Oregon State (4-8, 0-3) at USC (7-4, 1-1), 1, Lyon Center -- One sign of progress for the Trojans during their 77-72 victory over Oregon on Sunday was their season-high 50% field-goal shooting. The Trojans’ shooting has been hovering under 40% much of the season. Struggling Oregon State is on its second three-game losing streak after losing to UCLA on Sunday. Turnovers have become an increasingly troublesome issue for the Beavers; they have averaged 22 in their three conference games.
