Some folks host a party. Kelly Graves celebrated his birthday with practice.
The Oregon women's basketball coach marked another birthday Tuesday, and did so with his team. The sixth-ranked Ducks host Stanford in Matthew Knight Arena on Thursday, looking to build momentum after a bounce-back win at Arizona on Sunday, and there was much to work on Tuesday before facing the No. 3 Cardinal.
"Best birthday present I got," Graves said Wednesday. "It was a great practice."
The Ducks bring a 13-2 record into Thursday's marquee showdown, which ESPN will televise at 6 p.
