it and knocked the ball away. It
went directly to his teammate Dar
ius Wright, who dribbled out the
remaining seconds, and soon
thereafter, was amid a sea of cele
brating Oregon students who en
thusiastically stormed the court:
Final score: 68-67, Oregon. Con
sider the ghost of Adam Spanich
officially exorcised.
“We played as well as we could
have on that last play,” said senior
forward A.D. Smith, whose 15
points marked the 16th time in 17
games that he has scored in dou
ble digits. “We worked on that
type of defense since the first day
of practice. We ran it perfect.”
With the win — in front of 8,593
fans — the Ducks improve to 14-3
overall, and 5-1 in the Pacific-10
Conference. More importantly, the
loss drops USC (12-6, 5-1) into a
four-way tie for first, with Arizona
and Stanford.
“It feels great being first,” Jones
said. “But with a four-way tie, you
can go from first to fourth place in
a blink of an eye. To win a game
this close is a real boost of confidence. ’ ’
And this was game was close.
Both team’s leading scorers —
Alex Scales and Brian Scalabrine
— recorded 18 points each. Both
teams turned the ball over just 12
times. Oregon shot 48 percent
from the field; USC 45 percent.
The Trojans out-rebounded the
Ducks 33-32.
Oregon’s largest lead of the
game was 66-61 with three min
utes and 53 seconds left. But after
two free throws by David Bluthen
thal with 2:21 to go, the score was
trimmed to 66-65.
In this type of game, every
point is precious. And the Trojans
were the recipients of an extra
point thanks to one of the most
unusual calls in basketball.
With 1:02 remaining, Granville
was at the free-throw line trying
to cut an Oregon three-point lead.
His first shot missed as the crowd
went crazy — a little too crazy.
All the fans’ jumping up and
down caused the basket to shake,
and officials ruled that Granville
would get two more attempts.
But before he could, Oregon
head coach Ernie Kent reluctant
ly used a microphone to instruct
the crowd not to jump anymore.
Granville made both of his*free
throws, but they wound up being
the last points scored in the game.
“I told the team that the bottom
line was to just get the win,” Kent
said. “We did, and now we have
our program in position for some
good things to happen..”
Williams
continued from page 7
18 points.
“He played well against Scal
abrine,” Kent said. “He forced him
out and had good shot pressure.
And he was battling from aback in
jury and mono.”
USC was batteredafter last
weeks win against Arizona State
when it lost its leading scorer,
top reserve to injury.
So Scalabrine shouldered more
of the scoring load.
“With Sam out, that’s about 15
16 shots we need to make up with
different people,” Scalabrine said.
“I just take five extra shots.”
Scalabrine said the Ducks’ inte
rior defense wore him down.
“It’s a lot easier when we have a
guy like Sam here, because I rely
on him to get a lot of blocks,” Scal
abrine said. “But what we have
out there is what we have to go
with. Oregon is pretty crafty.”
Kent said was content with the
work his interior defense did on
both Scalabrine and forward
David Bluthenthal, who was the
Pac-10 player of the week last week.
“For the way Scalabrine and
Bluthenthal played last week
against Arizona and Arizona
State, we did a pretty good job,”
Kent said. “They’re such good
players. Every time we broke
down, they made us pay. But our
defense has won these last three
games for us down the stretch. ”
Scalabrine said he was encour
aged that the Trojans stayed in the
game, but hurt that they couldn’t
come away with a victory.
Women

stead of blocking out. That cost us
the ballgame, and it’s a hard les
son to learn.”
In terms of the Pac-10 title race,
Oregon’s loss is particulary tough
to swallow because Stanford,
which remains tied for second
with the Ducks, was upset at
Washington, 85-83. And Oregon
stays in Los Angeles to take on No.
10 UCLA on Saturday.
“We’re just going to have to re
group and go play our best game,”
Runge said.
Down 59-47 with about 10 min
utes to play, Brianne Meharry —
playing at the small forward posi
tion for the first time in her career
— hit a midrange jumper off the
dish from Williams. Meharry
scored again from the paint on the
Ducks’ next possesion. Then fol
lowing a USC three-second viola
tion, Jenny. Mowe sank two free
throws to make the score 59-53.
The Trojans began pulling away
once more when Mashia and
Camille Norwood hit a pair of
three pointers. Still, Williams kept
her team within 10 with a lay in.
Then Oregon started its final
comeback. Meharry scored the
next four points, and the Ducks
soon took a 66-65 lead on a jumper
by Nicole Strange.
Down by three points with un
der two minutes to play, Williams
drove to the hoop for the layin and
the foul. She iced her free throw,
and two posessions later, she sank
the final two free throws that al
most won the game for Oregon.
Almost.
“We did a great job in that
spurt,” Runge said. “But on the
very last possesion we just didn’t
get the job done.”
Along with leading Oregon in
scoring, Williams had five assists
and four rebounds. Angelina
Wolvert, Mowe, Strange and
Meharry all had 11 points. Mowe
completed an all-around performance
with five rebounds and six blocks.
Tashara Carter led the Trojans
with 20 points, two assists and
three rebounds. Elmore had 13
points and three rebounds, not to
mention the game-winning shot.
“They were hot in the first half.
Everything they threw up was go
ing in the basket,” Runge said.
“We were flat emotionally. In the
second half [we] came out and
played with a lot more intensity.
“I don’t have a good answer for
the kind of inconsistency we’re
seeing right now in different
halves of the ballgame. I don’t
think there’s something broken,
but there are times when we just
don’t play with a lot of emotion.
