Basketball
continued from page 7 A
the first time since 1943 and are
off to their best overall start since
1974-75, when the Kamikaze Kids
began 15-2.
And, more importantly, Oregon
stayed within pace of the Pac-10
leaders on a day when Arizona (5
1) was upset by USC (5-0).
“We’re on one of those magical
runs,” said Oregon head coach
Ernie Kent on KUGN, referring to
Thursday’s overtime win over
Washington. “We just find a way
to pull it out and get it done.”
On a team with as much depth
as Oregon, there seems to be a new
hero every game. Bracey led the
charge against the Huskies on
Thursday and on Saturday night it
was senior forward Alex Scales.
Scales poured in a career-high
27 points, including two crucial
threes in the final minute of regu
lation. The latter came with 34
seconds left and knotted the score
at 72 heading into overtime.
He was also the one who made
the crucial defensive stop on
Washington State’s Thomas when
he missed the potential game-win
ner with four seconds left in over
time, which led to the aforemen
tioned melee for the ball.
“Big time players step up at big
times,” said Kent, who celebrated
his 45th birthday with the win.
“The two threes he hit were just
huge momentum swings for us. I
turned 45, but I feel like I’m 55 af
ter that, because that was just a
gut-check win for our team.”
For the second time in a row,
Oregon came out flat and watched
as the Cougars controlled the pace
and tempo of the game. Thomas
jump-started his team by scoring
12 of the Cougars first 16 points
en route to a 20 point night.
Washington State, led by Chris
Crosby with 26 points, had every
chance to win the game thanks in
large part to the 3-point shot. The
Cougars hit 10 of 17 threes, opposed
to Oregon’s dismal three-of-17 per
formance from beyond the arc.
Despite the troubles, however,
the Ducks shot 50 percent from
the field and made the crucial
plays when they had to.
None more crucial than senior
forward A.D. Smith’s swooping
finger-roll in the key with 36 sec
onds left. It gave the Ducks their
final lead in a game featuring 22
lead-changes.
“Last year we struggled a lot in
these close games,” Kent said.
“This year we’re winning them
and that’s what a year of growth
and maturity will do for you.”
Two stories for UO tennis
■ The men play well in
Corvallis, while the
women open the Pac-10
with two losses .
By Matt O’Neill
Oregon Daily Emerald
For the Oregon tennis pro
grams, last weekend’s action de
livered completely different re
sults.
The men enjoyed success at
the Corvallis Open, while the
women took two losses in con
ference play, but put up a
valiant effort in the Bay Area.
The women opened Pacific
Conference play with two loss
es against top-five teams. The
Ducks opened the two-day road
trip with a 8-1 loss at the hands
of the top-ranked Stanford Car
dinal. Head coach Jack Griffin
said his team came out tight and
he was disappointed with the
way they played.
“The pressure should have
been on them,” Griffin said.
“ They were the top-ranked pro
gram, but we tried to play over our
heads and weren’t successful.”
The Ducks did record one vic
tory against Stanford, when the
duo of Sarah Colistro and Monika
Gieczys beat a Cardinal pair, 8-6.
Gieczys then used the win in
doubles to propel her to a 7-5,6-3
win over No. 8-ranked Amy
Jensen of California. Gieczys’
win was one of the bright spots
for the Ducks, who bounced back
to compete
well with the
No. 3 Bears be
fore felling, 7-2.
“The win by
Monika was
huge,” Griffin
said. “That
should put her
in the national rankings. She
has been on the verge all season,
and now she has finally broken
through.
The Ducks’ other win came
when Adeline Arnaud beat
Morisa Yang. Griffin was also
happy with the way his team
bounced back to win some
games against the Bears.
“We actually won some
matches, it wasn’t just moral
victories for us,” Griffin said.
The way we bounced back
gainst Cal is a good step for our
rogram.”
The men played in Corvallis,
lead coach Chris Russell was
leased with his team’s effort, as
e saw six of his players record
irst-round victories.
“I was very pleased with the
vay they played,” Russell said.
Those wins give us the confi
lence and experience to play in
natch play.”
Oregon saw its early success
pill over into the second round
is five of the Ducks advanced.
rreshmen Oded Teig, Leslie
Jisinga, and Jason Menke and
enior Guillermo Carter won.
Carter, who had a first-round
>ye, went on to play in the fi
lals, where he fell to Washing
on’s former No. 1 player, Nick
Williams, 6-4, 0-6, 6-4. Russell
/vas pleased with Carter’s play
n his first tournament back af
er taking the fall off to compete
nn his own.
“Memo stepped right in there
md played great for us,” Russell
said. “I was pleased with the
way he played.”
