answered with a three-pointer,
and after a Darius Wright jumper,
Georgia Tech scored six straight
to take the lead 64-63.
"They came out with a lot of
fight, and I don’t think we had
our best game tonight,” said
Smith, who led the Ducks with
17 points and eight rebounds.
“We made it close, but I think
that makes it feel better in the
end.”
Smith spent most of the night
guarding Collier, the more her
alded of the Yellow Jackets’ two
big men. Foul trouble kept Col
lier off the floor late in the game
and he would eventually foul
out, but that didn’t affect Jones’
ability to exploit Oregon in the
middle.
“A lot of the reason I think
Jones went off is because Mike
and Flo [Hartenstein] were help
ing me,” said Smith.
Oregon went to a double team
on Jones late in the game, ac
counting for his decreased pro
duction.
Alex Scales had 12 of his 16
points, as well as six rebounds,
as Oregon took a 33-28 lead into
halftime. Scales scored seven
straight early to spot the Ducks a
10-4 lead, but the Yellow Jackets
recovered to take a 16-14 lead on
a Jones jumper.
The Ducks then went on a 12-3
run to open up the lead they
would take into halftime.
Twin towers Jones and Collier
accounted for 20 of Georgia
Tech’s 28 first-half points, 13 of
those from Jones.
“They came out playing me
one-on-one, so that opened me
up to take shots and make some
moves,” said Jones, who added
11 rebounds. “Their keying on Ja
son helped me out a lot.”
Jones also appeared to be re
sponsible for an elbow that
caused a bloody cut under Car
son’s right eye with about two
minutes left in the first half.
Carson took six or seven stitch
es from the Oregon training
staff and returned in the second
half to finish with six points

and six rebounds.
The Ducks shot just 36 percent
in the first half but nailed four of
seven from three-point range.
Georgia Tech didn’t do much bet
ter, shooting 38 percent from the
floor. The Yellow Jackets were
just one for eight from behind the
arc.
Georgia Tech recovered to shot
42 for the game.
Earlier in the day, Wyoming
beat Southern California 81-77 at
home to set up Monday’s game.
The Cowboys drew 6,613 fans,
53 fewer than the Ducks, to help
secure the game at McArthur
Court.
“We definitely got a taste of
March Madness tonight," Brown
said of the small yet vocal crowd.
“The fans were great.”
Tickets for Monday’s game go
on sale today for season ticket
holders and Friday at 9 a.m. for
general admission. The Casanova
