EUGENE, Ore. -- Oregon junior Jordan Bell did a solid impersonation of Chris Boucher.Bell had a career-high 16 points and a season-high 12 rebounds as Oregon defeated UNLV 83-63 on Saturday night without Boucher, the senior center who leads the Ducks with 14.1 points and 3.2 blocks per game to go with 7.8 rebounds.I thought Jordan really picked it up, Oregon coach Dana Altman said. I am not sure if he has had that many rebounds in a while. He had a double-double, that is a really nice game. He helped pick us up.The 20th-ranked Ducks (10-2) may need a repeat performance from Bell on Tuesday when they host Fresno State (8-3) at Matthew Knight Arena. The 6-foot-10 Boucher, who suffered a sprained ankle on Thursday, is not expected back until the start of conference play next week.I think I am getting into a groove now, Bell said. Things are coming easier and I am keeping it simpler. Last year, I was figuring out what to do when I came into games, but this year my role is set and I focus on that. I am rebounding, defending and blocking shots.Bell is also averaging a career-high 9.3 points per game.Every year I find a role on this team and what I need to do, Bell said. This year, we dont have an inside post player so I am focusing on that.The Ducks have won eight straight games after early-season losses to Baylor and Georgetown.Everyone has problems at first with new people coming to a team that is already set, Bell said. Last year, we struggled and lost a couple games because it takes time to have everybody feel each other out and identify roles.Oregon found its groove last season when it won the Pac-12 Conference title and reached the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament.I think we can go further this year than last year, Bell said. We are way deeper this year, we can play anyone on the bench and be fine.Altman would like to see the Ducks improve on defense.You are not going to shoot well every night, so you have to guard somebody, he said. If you can guard, you can stay in most games. We have some talented offensive teams with Fresno State, UCLA, and USC on the horizon so our defense has to keep coming,Fresno State has won three games in a row -- against Cal Poly, Holy Names and Pacific -- but will face a much tougher test against the Ducks. The Bulldogs are 1-0 against the Pac-12 after beating Oregon State 63-58.Senior guard Paul Watson leads Fresno State with 13.5 points per game while junior guards Jaron Hopkins and Jahmel Taylor average 13.1 and 13.0 points, respectively.

RENTON, Wash. -- One of the staples of the NFL during the offseason is coming up with lists.So when the NFL Network revealed its list of top 100 players in the league earlier this year, and Seattle Seahawks Bobby Wagner wasnt listed, it was a surprising omission.And for Wagner, it felt like another time of being slighted.There was a lot of things I was tired of hearing, whether it was that, whether it was people even media people in this area that were saying stuff, I was just tired of having my name getting followed by some disrespect, Wagner said on Wednesday.So just trying to prove everybody wrong again just like I normally do in life.Through 11 weeks of the regular season, its been difficult not to notice Wagner.Seattles standout middle linebacker leads the NFL with 108 tackles, including 15 last week in the Seahawks win over Philadelphia.Hes on pace to shatter the franchises single-season mark for tackles and has already become the first player in Seattle history with five straight seasons with at least 100 tackles.On a defense filled with stars such as Richard Sherman, Cliff Avril and Michael Bennett, Wagner is finding a way to stand out above others.He just keeps balling. He just keeps playing really good football, Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. His game plan preparation is there, hes taking advantage of all of that. Hes really on the mark on his fits and stuff in the running game.Hes a fantastic athlete. I think this is a result of scheme awareness, growth, good guys playing around him and probably the heightened level of his preparation just because he is just more experienced now.Wagner didnt feel slighted two years ago when he was selected as a first-team All-Pro despite missing five games with a painful toe injury. But last season his game appeared to slip.He had 114 tackles in 15 games -- a number hes almost surpassed already this season -- and had just one half-sack. Wagner wasnt making the impact on the field he expected.So this offseason was all about revamping his process.I just felt like I had a different approach I was tired of being disrespected and changed my eating, started boxing, and theen I think I found a lot of peace in life, Wagner said.ddddddddddddJust different things, family situations and things like that. Just a lot of things that came into it. I cant really pinpoint one thing.Along with changing his eating, Wagner increased the amount of boxing, yoga and swimming in his exercise routine, activities hes trying to continue during the regular season.I feel like I finally got a routine with massages, and yoga and swimming, and all these different things that I do. I think it has helped me not get hurt, Wagner said.Wagner is quick to acknowledge the play of Seattles defensive tackles as a big reason why hes been able to record so many stops.Tony McDaniel, Jarran Reed and Ahtyba Rubin have all done their part in occupying offensive linemen and keeping them from getting to the second level and blocking the linebackers.Of the 657 total combined tackles recorded by Seattles defense this season, Wagner and fellow linebacker K.J. Wright have been in on 195 of them -- nearly 30 percent.Hes an athlete, Seattle defensive coordinator Kris Richard said. Whenever you get an athlete in space you just allow them be who they are.Game notes Seattle will likely be down two starters in its secondary with FS Earl Thomas and CB DeShawn Shead both unlikely to play because of hamstring injuries. Carroll was pessimistic about their availability on Wednesday. Steven Terrell would start in place of Thomas, with the combo of Jeremy Lane and Neiko Thorpe filling in for Shead. ... Seattle signed RB George Farmer off the practice squad on Wednesday for additional depth in the backfield. Farmer takes the spot on the 53-man roster vacated by the release of OL JMarcus Webb on Tuesday. ... DE Michael Bennett continues to recover from knee surgery earlier this month and wont be able to make it back this week against his former team, Carroll said. Bennett should be available next week when Seattle hosts Carolina.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL .
