This week, Oti Gildon has had a particular song by the Eugene native and national recording artist Mat Kearney stuck in her head.

"It's like," Gildon said, before breaking into song: "I'm coming home to the place that I remember …"

Oregon fans of course recognize the lyrics to Kearney's hit, "Coming Home (Oregon)," which is a staple of UO home football and basketball games. For Gildon this week, the song holds a different meaning: the Ducks' junior forward will be reunited with friends and family in Spokane, Wash., when the UO women's basketball team plays there in the NCAA Tournament's Sweet Sixteen on Saturday.
