End of an era

This Sunday will be the final Civil War basketball game played at historic Mcarthur Court in Eugene. For those of you who don't know, Oregon will move into the $200 million Mathew Knight Arena, named for Phil Knight's son.

As for the game itself, Oregon comes in on a six game win streak, including a road sweep of the Washington schools. Overall, the Ducks sit at 10-4 (2-0 conference). Those two conference victories equal the total number of Pac 10 wins for the Ducks a year ago, and the 10 wins overall are two more than Oregon had last year.

Oregon State on the other hand comes off it's worse defeat in school history, a 51 point loss to Seattle University--in Corvallis. The Beavers look for their first win at Mac Court since 1993.

If you're in town, tickets are still available for Sunday night's game for $40. Student tickets are sold out. Otherwise, FSN will televise the game, and Jerry Allen will have the radio call for the Oregon Sports Network.

Since this is a Civil War game, I will leave you with my Oregon-State-Joke-Of-The-Day.

Did you know that an OSU fan lost $100 betting on the Oregon-Arizona game? He bet $50 on the Wildcats in the first game and another $50 on them in ESPN’s “Instant Classic” replay.
