Oregon lost ImjIIi battles Sat
urday here at Cill Coliseum and
lost the second battle of the
Civil War to Oregon State.
84- 70.
The Reavers improved to 3-0

ference standings while the
Ducks. 2-1 in Pac-10 play and
7-ti overall, fell into a third
place lie with l J(!I.A
Terrell Brandon carried Ore
gon as far as he could, scoring
a career-high 38 points, the
sixth-best scoring game in Ore
gon history But Oregon State
had four players in double fig
ures and dominated the Ducks
on the boards. 35-27.
"The big factor that did us in
was rebounding." Oregon
Coach Don Munson said.
"They hustled and got a lot of
loose balls and consequently
we didn’t get many transition
baskets.
"In my estimation." he said,
"that was the difference in the
Imll game."
The difference for the Bea
vers was the inside play of
Chad Scott and the all-around
play of Too Alibegovic that al
lowed Oregon State to avenge a
78-71 loss to the Ducks two

Si oil had I I points and eight
rebounds in the first Civil War
game while Alibegovic was
held to five points and two re
bounds.
But on Saturday, Scott
burned the Ducks inside with
20 points and 15 rebounds,
both career highs, while
Alibegovic netted a career-high
20 points
One of Monson's biggest con
cerns coining into Saturday's
game was trying to control
Alibegovic. who had scored -4‘t
points in wins over Stanford
and (California last weekend
"I had (Richard) l.ucas on
him (Scott) last time, hut Teo
was posting up so well I put
Lucas on him this time because
Lucas is a better post-up de
fender." Munson said.
That meant 6-foot-11 Bob
Fife had to guard the (juicker.
more aggressive Scott, and that
worked to Oregon State's ad
vantage with Scott grabbing
eight offensive rebounds and
scoring 11 of his 20 points off
offensive rebounds
■'Child Scott played one of
his lies! games,'' Oregon State
Coach Jimmy Anderson said.
"His force and quickness on
the offensive tioards i ould have
been the difference in the
game "
It could also have been a dif
ferent outcome if Oregon
wouldn't have had to rely on
iirandon for half its offense.
In the first half, Brandon was
all the Ducks had going for
them as he scored 22 points
and brought the Ducks back
from a 37-23 deficit to within
<43-39 at halftime.
While Brandon kept carrying
the load in the second half. Or
egon also got some help from
Lucas, who had 12 of his 21
points in the second half Hut
Fife and guard Kevin Mixon
never got going offensively
Fife took just one shot from
the field and didn't score lie
fore fouling out while Mixon
took just four shots, and had all
five of his points in the first
half
“I thought we scored enough
points." Monson said, “we just
didn't contain them and we
needed better balanced scoring
Terrell showed you what a
good player he is.
"I guess we relied on him too
much," he said. "I thought Lu
cas played hard, but they took
Mixon out of it pretty well."
Surprisingly, the Beavers
played pretty good defense on
