be remembered by the two
dozen or so Duck fans who
were at court-side in Madi
son Square Garden.
For everyone, from head
coach Dick Harter to Ron
Lee to Stu Jackson’s fan
club, the first half of the
game was a near disaster.
“We weren’t anywhere in
the first half,” said a some

ing the game. “They got
anything they wanted.”
But in the first six minutes of the
second half, Lee and company
showed the 10,000 Garden
zealots what Oregon basketball is
all about.
Fourteen seconds into the sec
ond stanza, Lee hit a 18-foot
jumper from the right side to close
the gap to seven, 43-36. After
some good defense on the Ducks’
part, the Peacocks missed a
jumper and Jackson followed his
own missed shot, laying it back in.
The small, but vocal group of
Oregon fans — which included
Lee’s dad, mom and grand
mother, Jackson’s parents and
sisters plus assorted friends, and
a group of Eugene supporters
who flew here with the team —
waved their yellow and green
pompoms wildly.
With 18:43 left, Bruce Coldron
hit a bomb from the top of Rock
efeller Center to bring Oregon to
within three, 43-40.
The local favorites from just ac
ross the Hudson River in Jersey
City, began to lose their compos
ure.
A St. Peters’ turnover gave Lee
a chance to hit a running left
handed hook from the key and cut
the deficit to one, 43-42.
After a Peacock timeout,
OreGone, (as a public address
announcer insisted on calling
them) Greg Ballard in particular,
hit a turnaround 12-foot jumper
from the right side. This was the
Ducks’ first lead of the evening,
44-43.
“The basic problem on of
fense,’’ said Ballard, who fouled
out of the game with but two
points, “was we weren’t moving
the ball and getting it into the big
men.”
Once again the hometowners
turned the ball over, this time via
an offensive foul. Ron Lee,
Oregon's leading scorer with 21,
hit a spinning fallaway jumper and
the lead was three.
The Ducks’ advantage was
shortlived as Adam Solomon hit a
couple of buckets from in close to
knot the game at 52. Solomon
finished the game with 24 points.
Jackson then stole a St. Peters
pass and hit a lay in, and followed
30 seconds later with a tapin for a
58-56 advantage.
