[INDENT]FAIRBANKS, Alaska — It’s not unusual for big-time college basketball coaches to plan an early-season road trip somewhere exotic in hopes of bringing their team closer together.

[INDENT]Kelly Graves, coach of the Oregon women’s basketball team, had other plans for the third-ranked team in the nation: a season opener just south of the Arctic Circle against a Division II squad that finished 4-22 last season.[/INDENT]

[INDENT]But Graves’s decision wasn’t about X’s and O’s. He wanted to give star forward Ruthy Hebard, a Fairbanks native, one final game in front of her family, friends and former teammates.[/INDENT]
