Around the Pac-10

The Spokesman-Review

Oregon has suspended big man Ian Crosswhite indefinitely for a violation of team rules. That means the junior 7-footer will miss today’s game against Washington, but it remains uncertain if he will still be out of the lineup when the Ducks meet Washington State on Saturday. … Only Washington (three) and Arizona (two) are working on winning streaks longer than one game. Oregon has the longest losing streak (five) since beating WSU on Jan. 15. … The logjam at the middle of the conference – five teams are 6-5 or 5-6 – makes it highly unlikely that the conference will finish with more than two ranked teams. … Ike Diogu collected another Player of the Week award after averaging 37 points a game against Stanford and California last week. … Salim Stoudamire continues to light it up from 3-point range. In Pac-10 games, the Arizona guard is hitting 54 percent of his 3s. … Stanford got good news for the future when 6-11 twins Brook and Robin Lopez of Fresno, Calif., verbally committed to play for the Cardinal.
