It could have, and maybe
should have been a tot worse
But the Oregon men's basket
ball team at least made a game of
it Thursday, eventually losing to
sixth-ranked UCLA 89-7:1 at
Pauley Pavilion in the Pacific-10
Conference opener for both
teams
The Ducks came into the
game as 28-point underdog, but
managed to stay within 10
points for much of the game
against a much bigger, stronger
and more talented Bruin team
The tradition-rich Pauley
Pavilion may have got the best
of the young Oregon team as the
Bruins pulled ahead 28-10 10
minutes into the game.
“We spotted them a 18 point
lead early, and it was even the
rest of the game,” Oregon head
coach Jerry Green said. "We
played a smart game once the
first 10 minutes were over. I
wish we could go bac k and
throw those first 10 minutes out.
but obviously we can't
Kenya Wilkins, Oregon s
freshman point guard continued

Oregon Wilkins, playing in his
town of Los Angeles, arguably
outdueled the Bruins' star point
guard Tyus Kdney
Wilkins scored 17 points to
lead all scorers in the game and
drove past Kdney on numerous
occasions creating shots for his
teammates and himself.
Kenya represented our team
we!! tonight/' Green said ''It's
too bad he got his fourth foul
early in the second, hut I
thought he played Tyus very
smart
Wilkins, however, struggled
with the rest of the Ducks at the
tieginniug as Kdney stole the ball
from him the first time he
touched the ball and knocked
the ball away again the next
time down the court
Hut after that. Wilkins settled
in and played on a par with
Kdney the rest of the way.
The Ducks were able to stay
dose with the Bruins in the first
half thanks to their free throw
shooting, hitting 14 of 16 Still.
Oregon watched UCLA turn a
16-10 lead into 26-10 within two
minutes and it looked as if the
slaughter was officially under
way. Hut point guard Kenya
