Ducks survive scare from Cougars An injury to Carlos Daniel allows Oregon to escape with a win By Rob Moseley Sports Reporter Oregon took advantage of an in jury to Washington State’s leading scorer midway through the sec ond half to steal a 64-63 victory at Friel Court on Thursday. Carlos Daniel, who led the Cougars with almost 17 points and 10 rebounds per game, went down with a severely sprained right an kle with 10 minutes, 54 seconds left in the game, allowing the Ducks to take their first lead of the game at 58-57 on a Terik Brown three-pointer with 2:26 remaining. Washington State (8-15 overall, 1-11 Pacific-10 Conference) retook the lead on a Chris Crosby jumper and a free throw by Steve Slotemaker, who finished with a game-high 15 points, but Brown hit another three-pointer for Ore gon on its next possession, and the Ducks held on for the win. Oregon (11-10, 6-6) ended a six game road losing streak dating back to a Dec. 2 loss at San Diego State and has now won four in a row. "We’re on one of those runs right now,” Oregon head coach Ernie Kent said. “Sometimes, when you're on one of those runs, you don’t play well but the ball bounces your way. We didn’t play well at times tonight and we made some bad mis takes, but in the last three or four minutes our defense stepped up and did a really nice job of shut ting them down.” The Cougars scored just 11 points in the game’s final nine minutes, including a three-pointer by Kab Kazadi as time expired. The Ducks got off to a slow start, with Donte Quinine sinking an ac robatic reverse layup for Oregon’s first field goal 8:15 into the game.

A layin by Jonathon Nelson and a Henry Madden three-pointer brought the Ducks within three, 24-21, but the Cougars took another nine-point lead on three-pointers by Slotemaker and Blake Pengelly. Yasir Rosemond closed the half with heroics reminiscent of his performance against UCLA last week by sandwiching three-point ers around a Daniel dunk to close Washington State’s halftime lead to two, 36-34. The Ducks remain on the road Saturday in Seattle for a rematch with Washington. The Huskies won at McArthur Court on Jan. 15, 81-71, and broke a three-game los ing streak with a win over Oregon State on Thursday.
