Point guard Darius Wright scored 20 points in a win over Gonzaga on Dec 29.
UO men
continued from page 7 A
career-high 26 points to defeat
their first-ranked opponent.
Next, Oregon encountered
Gonzaga, which had laid an
impressive claim to Pacific
Northwest supremacy with an
Elite Eight appearance in last
season’s NCAA T oumament.
Again, the Ducks were up to
the task.
With Scales having an off
night, senior forward A.D.
Smith and senior point guard
Darius Wright picked up the
scoring slack. Smith shot eight
of 12 from the field in recording
a game-high 22 points and also
grabbed eight rebounds. Wright
made four-of-seven three-point
ers on his way to 20 points.
The duo’s heroics allowed
Oregon to pick up its second
straight significant victory, 70
64.
The next night, the Ducks
were unable to muster enough
offensive firepower to com
plete their stirring tourney run
against host Hawaii, losing the
championship game 66-63.
Smith scored a career-high 29
points on ll-of-17 shooting,
but Oregon shot a season-low
39 percent overall.
Despite the last loss, the
Ducks could only be pleased
with how they fared at the
Rainbow Classic, especially
considering the circumstances.
Junior guard David Jackson
did not play at all because of a
knee injury that required arthro
scopic knee surgery. Jackson
hasn’t been in action since the
Dec. 3 win at Portland State and
is expected to miss another two
to three weeks.
“David’s injury sets us back
because we were really count
ing on him to be one of your
leaders on the floor, another
go-to guy that can shoot the ball
from the perimeter, another
tough guy that can defend for
you, and we don’t have that
now,” Kent said.
' Junior center Julius Hicks
was largely ineffective in
Hawaii because of mononucle
osis.
With two key members of its
rotation ailing, Oregon still
managed to keep itself in line
for its first NCAA Tournament
berth since 1994-95.
“I feel like we’ve gotten so
much better in the preseason as
a basketball team,” Kent said.
Now comes the tough part:
the always-challenging Pac-10
season.
Sports brief
Ram's Warner named
unlikely NFL MVP
NEW YORK— Kurt Warner’s
sensational rise from obscure
quarterback to passing wizard was
capped Wednesday when he was
voted the NFL’s Most Valuable
Player by The Associated Press.
Warner, the only player other
than Dan Marino to throw for 40
touchdowns in a season, was the
guiding force as the St. Louis
Rams moved from also-ran to the
NFC’s best record. The former
Arena League and NFL Europe
player was an overwhelming
choice in balloting by a national
panel of 50 media members.
“I thought we could be success
ful,” Warner said, “but to think in
training camp that it w’ould hap
pen for me this way was far
fetched. They were not sure what
they would do going in. They had
some questions if I was an NFL
backup.”
When Trent Green, signed to a
huge free agent contract during
the offseason, wrecked a knee dur
ing the first preseason game,
Warner no longer was a question
able backup. He was the full-time
quarterback, a decision Rams
coach Dick Vermeil made imme
diately after Green’s injury.
“Dick was very instrumental in
this,” said Warner, who complet
ed 325 of499 passes (65.1 percent)
for 4,353 yards, 41 touchdowns
with only 13 interceptions.
“He had that much confidence
in me and he showed it when he
said I’d be the guy and he was go
ing with me,” Warner said. “That
was a big confidence-booster.”
