Payton, Beavers fire first salvo
By Cary Henley
Emerald Sports Reporter
The men's basketball version
of the Civil War hasn't been
much of a battle. The Beavers,
with Thursday night's 59-47
Pacific-10 Conference win over
the Ducks at sold-out Gill Col
iseum. have now won 19 out of
the last 20 wars.
Oregon State (12-5 in the
Pac-10, IB-8 overall) improved
its chance for an NCAA tourna
ment bid, while the Ducks' NIT
chances hopes continue to fade.
The loss dropped Oregon to 9-8
in the conference, 14-12 overall.
As was the case when the two
teams met at the Far West
Classic earlier in the season (a
62-51 OSLJ win), the Ducks
played well in the first half, but
untimely turnovers and poor
passing down the stretch cost
them the game.
"Again, in the second half we
just didn't handle the
pressure," said Oregon coach
Don Monson. "We just didn't
get it done. We need to have a
better performance for the
whole game.
Oregon State was led by
Payton, who scored at will
down the stretch, hitting all six
second half shots to finish with
a career-high 30 paints.
Bill Sherwood, the Beavers’
starting center and one of three
OSU seniors honored before the
game, was contained for the
most part in his final home ap
pearance, scoring only six
points with one rebound.
But it was Payton and
backcourt teammate Eric Knox
who combined for 57 points on
18 of 25 shooting to gun down
the Ducks. Only seven Beaver
turnovers on the night didn't
help Oregon’s cause.
Both teams took ten paces
back and started firing three
pointers at each other to open
the game.
The Ducks hit five treys in the
first half, and finished the game
8 of 15 from three-point
country.
Oregon's Anthony Taylor hit
his first five three-pointers, his
third giving the Ducks a 29-26
halftime lead.
After five lead changes to
begin the second half, the
Beavers took off on a 10-0 run,
culminated when Earl Martin’s

Richard Lucas started at center Thursday night. This slam
dunk helped the Ducks to a 10-point first half lead before OSU
came roaring back to win and clinch second in the Pac-10.
18-foot jumper with 4:50 re
maining gave OSU a 50-39 lead.
Taylor scored 16 points
without hitting a two-point goal
to lead the Ducks, while point
guard Frank Johnson added
nine points.
An intense first half was
highlighted when Oregon's
Randy Grant was fouled by
Payton midway through the
half.
To add insult to injury.
Payton picked up a technical
foul after arguing the call and
was taunted by Grant and
Johnson.
Taylor hit the technical free
throw, then came back seconds
later and canned a three-pointer
to complete a five-point posses
sion as the Ducks sprinted out
to a 10-point lead.
A tough zone defense and
continued backcourt pressure
applied by Oregon State led to
17 Oregon turnovers, many ear
ly the second half when OSU
tightened the screws on its full
court press. "We knew it was
the one thing we couldn’t let
happen and it happened. 1
threw the ball away a couple of
times.” Taylor said. "I try not
to let it bug me. But they keep
pressuring you and pressuring
you, especially when they're
down and when they're suc
cessful at it."
After hitting 58 percent of
their first half shots, the Ducks
cooled to 7-of-25 in the second
stanza.
