Dawgs do it to Ducks, 73-67
By Robert Coll,as
Of lb* Kmor.ld
The Oregon basketball team must feel a bit
like the indestructible object going up against the
immovable force as they lost two tough road
games in Washington this weekend to fall to 8-ir,
for the season and 3-10 In the Pac-10 Conference.
The Ducks lost to the Washington Stato
University Cougars 75-71 on Friday night and
then came back Sunday to play the league
leading Washington Huskies tough all the way
before finally falling 73-67. Oregon is playing
perhaps the best basketball it has all season in the
last four games.
Besides the two close losses in Washington,
the Ducks had put together tWOtCOUfereiiee wins
•' In a rtiw, over Californiaand Oregon State, for the
first time this season .. .' ‘
That thought is of little solacev to Oregon
1 coach Don Monsoh, however. -
■ : ° "We played well,, but that is not. to say that
losing it OK." Monson said after the loss to
• /Washington He was pleased with the effort
"• displayed by his team, however.. . • '• •
: We played them tord thfe whole way.’.'’
. • Ntonson said of the Washington loss, - h an'i say
enough about the way the kids played. it was’just'.
. a coupje of little things that cost us in the end/'
Those little things were not the same 'one's •
.. that cost Oregon so many gabies in the early part
of the- season. Oregon - made their free throws
‘ . (23-30 for the game)., they made the key shot, and
they didn't lows compdsure when'the going’iook-'

as Musi ateI came In to score, lb points on eight of

Behind- Muscatelthe Huskios oame right
back at the Ducks, as the gritty 6-foot-3 guard
from Mercer Island< Wash.; threw in four straight
long-range lumpers to bring the Dawgs to within
23*20 with eight minutes left in the first half.
• Most aid's springers'Started Washington on a
20;S run that eventually brought them the lead at
32*25 with four minutes left,before halftime
.,. Then' it was t he. Ducks't urn to ploy catch-up
and they did:H.very well as Oregon caught the
Huskies at '30-30* on David tJirley's running
lumper In the lane et the buzzer Indore halftime.
In the second half there was more well
played basketball on the part of both teams, and
fc. the game was relatively close the rest of the way.
The Duck's biggest lead In the second half was
five points a! 57-52 with 0:17 left in the game.
... ..Oregon used the inside play of center )erry
Adams toTiuild the lead Adams scored a career
high,21 points'll) go along with 11 rebounds for
. the game. rAdams' offensive statistics may not
, have-.lieen the most important aspect of his game

asked-'after"the; gathe. : ”llo, gives us so much on
the -defensive - and; relMiundtiig end that people
tend U) j)jyir.l/«ik.hi.s_i:i).iUtiluiM(ins on the often
sive end."
Adams may lend to be overlooked on the of
fensive end of the floor, but that will not be the
lasting rememberances that the Huskies will take
home from this one as they barely escaped with
their league-leading lives.
Muscatel started a 6-0 run that regained the
lead for Washington at 58-57 with 7:30 left in the
game.
The game see-sawed from there until
Washington’s Paul Fortier was fouled by
Oregon’s Thomas Deuster with 4:21 left irr the
contest. .
Fortier drained both free throws to give the
Dawgs a 65-63 lead .Oregon then missed the front
end.of a oire:and-one.' and Fortier drilled a free
