VOTE FOR A.J.!

Oregon fans have a chance to give Amanda Johnson the national recognition she deserves as a finalist for the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award.

The 6-foot-2 forward has missed Oregon’s last 11 games with a left thumb fracture but entered her final year in a UO uniform as one of the most exceptional seniors on and off the court in the 2012 national class. 

To read more about the award from GoDucks click here but the important thing is that FAN BALLOTING COUNTS FOR 1/3 OF THE TOTAL SCORE with the remaining 2/3 determined by NCAA Division I coaches and national media members.

You may vote once per day on the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award website and once per day on the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award Facebook fan page everyday through March 18.

That's right....
YOUR VOTE COUNTS!   AGAIN AND AGAIN!!!
VOTE EARLY ~ VOTE OFTEN

To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Division I senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence – community, classroom, character and competition.  

We know Amanda deserves this and she is one of only two student-athletes from the Pac-12 Conference, the other being Stanford’s Nnemkadi Ogwumike, so...

Coming up for Members of the UO Fast Break Club....

Chalk Talk on Thursday 1/12 & Social on Saturday 1/14!
 
The next PRE-GAME chalk talk for Fast Break Club members with UO Coaching Staff will be held before Thursday night’s basketball game with Arizona.

The club’s second social of the season is coming up on Saturday after the 2 p.m. Arizona State game.  The speaker will be Lisa Peterson, the new senior associate athletic director.

UO Fast Break Club members should have each received your emailed notice with details about the next two Fast Break Club events.


Last month's Chalk Talk with Assistant Coach Shandrika Lee before the CSUN game was eye-opening and informative and the Fast Break Club members had to stay on their toes for Coach Shan's quick quiz on the meaning of the coaching code to the players during the game.  The next Chalk Talk should be just as interesting! 

GREAT PROMOTIONS....

The Ducks will be giving away Pit Crew shoes, 100 pizzas and 200 T-shirts, and team members will be signing autographs after the game.

And DUCK SPIRIT was evident all over Matt Arena...

Can you top this?

One of the new UO Fast Break members came up with the winning sign at yesterday's 11/25 game with UC Irvine.  (We hope it will inspire you to make your own sign for tomorrow's 2pm game against Nicholls State.)

"THANKSGIVING IS GOOD, BUT JASMIN IS MY FAVORITE HOLLIDAY!"

Great job Janet!  Now how cleaver can you be?  The UO folks make it easy for you to make your own sign by having markers and poster paper available by the West entrance.  All you have to supply is the wit!  The best sign of the game wins a free team shirt!

Also speaking of 'Can you top this?' how about the spunk that Ariel Thomas brought to the game against Weber State!  She continued her hustle in just her second game of the season on Friday when she tied up the game against UC Irvine at 31-31.

Also welcome back to Deanna Weaver on Friday who scored 11 points against UC Irvine in her first game off the bench.  We're looking forward to seeing a lot more of both sophomores the rest of the season.

View all the photos from the Weber State game on our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/UOregonFastBreakClub
