Men want second win on the road
The Ducks need to beat
Minnesota in order to
bring their record to 3-0
By Rob Moseley
Oregon Daily Emerald
Two days after defeating a
team that was 14-16 last season,
the Oregon men’s basketball
team continues its two-game
road trip tonight against the 1998
National Invitation Tournament
champion.
Oregon (2-0) faces defending
NIT champion Minnesota in
Minneapolis at 5 p.m. today, af
ter beating Southern Illinois in
Carbondale, 111., on Saturday.
The Golden Gophers (3-0) de
feated Winthrop 68-59 on Satur
day despite the absence of lead
ing scorers Quincy Lewis and
Kevin Clark, who were suspend
ed one game for their roles in a
Nov. 16 brawl in an exhibition
win over the Philippine National
team.
Lewis averaged 27.5 points in
Minnesota’s season-opening
wins over Appalachian State and
Seton Hall and together with
Clark provided more than half of
the Gophers’ points in those two
games.
"They play much like us,”
Oregon head coach Ernie Kent
said. “Very fast, and their offen
sive sets are similar to the ones
we run.”
Lewis is the top returning scor
er from last season’s National In
vitation Tournament champions.
The 6-foot-7, 215-pound forward
contributing 14.5 points and 5.6
points last season to help the Go
phers to an eventual 79-72 win
over Fenn
State in the fi
nals of the NIT.
Clark, a 6-2
guard, was
named MVP of
the tourna
ment after
scoring 29
points and
pulling down seven rebounds
against the Nittany Lions.
Sam Jacobsen was a first-round
draft choice of the Los Angeles
Lakers earlier this year after lead
ing Minnesota with 18.2 points
and grabbing 5.2 rebounds per
game as a senior last season.
The Ducks and Gophers have
met just five times, with Min
nesota winning the most recent
battle, 89-64, in the Far West
Classic on Dec. 27, 1991. The
Ducks’ lone victory over Min
nesota came almost 25 years be
fore that, as Oregon won 67-60 in
Eugene on Dec. 28,1966.
Juniors A.D. Smith and Alex
Scales each scored 14 points, and
Scales added 10 rebounds and
five blocked shots as the Ducks
cruised to a 70-64 win over the
Salukis (1-2) on Saturday.
“It was a great road win for
us,” Kent said. “With the parity
in college basketball, any time
you can go on the road and win,
it’s a good thing.”
Center Mike Carson had 10
points and five rebounds in 18
minutes before fouling out. The
senior made five of his seven
shots and helped Oregon to a
49.1 shooting percentage.
The Ducks took a 36-27 lead
into halftime, then survived a 12
3 Saluki run that pulled South
ern Illinois to within three at 67
64 with 25 seconds left.
Terik Brown and Freddie Jones
each scored 10 points and dished
out a team-high four assists for
Oregon. Darius Wright had eight
points and five turnovers in his
first regular-season start at point
guard.
Guard Monte Jenkins had a
game-high 20 points on 5-of-8
tliree-point shooting for Southern
Illinois, which shot just 36.4 per
cent from the floor and 42.1 per
cent from the free-throw line.
The Ducks return home to face
Brigham Young on Saturday fol
lowed by Portland State at
McArthur Court on Dec. 12.
