Oregon loses to Washington in overtime
The Ducks were doing well
until fatique set in, causing
mental lapses by the players,
according to coach Ernie Kent
By Rob Moseley
Oregon Daily Emerald
SEATTLE — Score tied 65-65 in the wan
ing moments of regulation. Oregon with
the ball and a chance to win. The Ducks
get a shot off, to no avail. And in the first
overtime, things don’t necessarily go the
way the Ducks
76 would like.
pc What is this,
°° dejavu?
The only difference for Oregon was
that Thursday against Washington State,
the Ducks were able to stay tied on their
way to winning 87-83 in three overtimes.
Oregon was not so lucky Saturday,
when Washington closed the game with
a 14-3 run despite the absence of leading
scorer Todd MacCulloch on its way to an
86-76 overtime win in front of 7,385 fans
at Hec Edmundson Pavilion.
“I thought we did a good job until that
two-minute mark or so,” Oregon head
coach Ernie Kent said. “I could see the fa
tigue setting in with [the Ducks]. We
were having some mental lapses out
there because of what this team has been
through.”
Terik Brown’s third basket of the over
time, with one minute, 36 seconds re
maining, gave Oregon its first lead since
late in the first half at 73-72. Brown got
another chance after Senque Clark hit
two free throws, but his finger-roll shot
missed off the back rim, and the Ducks
would score just one more time, on Dar
ius Wright’s three-pointer with 20 sec
onds left.

well at home
Terik Brown fared well against
the Huskies despite the pressure
of playing at his home town
By Tim Pyle
Oregon Daily Emerald
SEATTLE— Once again, Terik Brown
and the Oregon men’s basketball team
had victory well within reach at Hec Ed
mundson Pavilion.
But for the fourth time in Brown’s four
year career, Washington spoiled his
homecoming by outplaying the Ducks in
the game’s decisive moments.
Brown, who graduated from Seattle’s
Mercer Island High School after leading
the state in scoring with nearly 26 points
per game as a senior, kept Oregon close
in overtime by scoring seven of his team
high 15 points. But the Huskies pulled
away with a 14-3 run to secure an 86-76
win and deny Brown’s last shot at haunt
ing the Washington faithful.
Playing in front of family — including
his parents and younger brother Bryan, a
reserve guard for the Huskies — and
friends, Brown produced his highest
point total of the Pacific-10 Conference
season and his best all-around game since
being replaced by freshman Freddie
Jones in the starting lineup in the Ducks'
second league game.
‘ Td say that it was probably my first decent,
OK game coming off the bendi," said Brown,
a 6-foot-l, 179-pound guard. "It’s something
that I need to get used to. It’s something that I
need to learn, how to play well at all times,

Ducks prevail overWSU
With a 21-0 run, the Cougars
shaved the Ducks’ 25-point lead
down to 4 points in the last six
minutes of the game
By Joel Hood
Oregon Daily Emerald
Prior to Sunday’s tip-off, head coach Jody
Runge warned her team of the shooting
prowess of the Washington State Cougars.
It was a warning the Oregon women’s bas
ketball team seemed not to take seriously un
til it was almost too late.
After trailing 44-27 at the half, the Pacific
10 Conference’s third highest scoring team
went on a 21-0 run midway through the sec
ond half to cut the Ducks’ seemingly insur
mountable 25-point lead to just four points
with six minutes, 10 seconds to play.
Five minutes later, Oregon’s lead was cut
to just two points after Cougar guard Tricia
Lamb, nailed a three-point shot to close to
64-62.
But the Ducks (14-3 overall, 5-1 in Pac-10)
hit five of seven free throws, and senior
Natasha O’Brien sank a critical three-pointer
down the stretch to hang on for a wild 72-64
victory over the streaking Cougars.
“We had an emotional letdown out of the
second half,” said center Jenny Mowe, who
scored a team-high lb points
and a career-high seven
blocked shots Sunday. "The
last eight minutes were pretty
frantic. You can’t help but
watch the scoreboard a little,
lVMtlK 1' ,;'t but it comes down to a point
MSKRMll when you just have to say
‘this game is ours.’”
Oregon led by as many as 25 points in the
second half and held a 60-3 7 advantage before
Washington State went on its remarkable run.
The Ducks committed 10 turnovers during the
11-minute stretch, which contributed to 21
unanswered points by the Cougars.
"We just didn’t close them out,” guard
Shaquala Williams said. “The way we started
