Although Oregon, which fell to 0-2 in counting
games and deserves credit for playing tough on
the road against the 23rd-ranked team in the
country, still can't get over the hump to win close
games.
"Winning is the name of the game and we pist
didn't get the job done." Oregon Coach Don
Vlonson said.
The Ducks' four games this year (two counting
games and two exhibitions) have been decided In
a total of 13 points, with the Ducks losing three ol
the four games. Tough losses and < lose games
make for a frustrated Monson
"We gave a good effort." Monson said, "but
people don't really c are whether you had a good
effort or played hard, they just want to know the
final score.”
On offense, it was the Terrell Brandon show tor
the Ducks
Oregon’s junior all-conference guard was 12 ot
20 from the floor, finishing with 27 points, five
assists, four rebounds and six steals However, it
was another story for backcourt mate Kevin Mix
on.
Mixon, the team's premier long range bomber,
struggled irnin me nriu ait uav. connecting on
just two of nine three-point attempts and fin

"Kevin's .i shooter." Munson said, "and when
they don't fall there's nothing vou i.in do about
it It he had hit .1 couple of the three-pointers fie
attempted, it would have lieen .1 different hall
