er had few answers to Oregon’s fe
rocious second-half play. Even a
39-point, career-high perform
ance by Martin, possibly the Pac
10’s best offensive player, could
n’t stop the Ducks from rolling.
And the implications resulting
from Thursday’s game are tremen
dous.
To Oregon, the victory is a step
ping stone. Winning out the sea
son is nearly a must for the Ducks
to repeat as Pac-10 champions,
but after beating the Bruins, they
are a little bit closer to their goal.
For UCLA, the loss is likely a
knockout punch. The Bruins have
been successful in back-to-back
NCAA tournament appearances,
capped with last season’s fifth-place
finish in the Elite Eight.
However, in terms of repeating as
Pac-10 champions — which the
coaches and media polls said they
would do at the start of the season
—the Bruins no longer control their
own destiny.
Oregon beat UCLA last season,
and the two teams shared the title.
This time around, the Ducks have

won since Feb. 9,1984. And de
spite their half-hearted effort, they
still had a chance to end that
streak after guard David Jackson
swished home a three with 40 sec
onds left, cutting the Bruin lead to
70-66.
But Oregon couldn’t hit a big shot
in the closing seconds. Five free
throws were all the Bruins needed
to snap a three-game losing streak
and keep their NCAA hopes alive.
UCLA made a strong case in front
of a national television audience
that it still has some fight in it. Ju
nior point guard Earl Watson
scored 18 of his team-high 22 points
in the first half. Freshman sensation
Jason Kapono picked up the slack
in the second half, scoring all of his
15 points in the final 20 minutes.
“UCLA is going to come out and
play,” Kent said. “They did a good
job at attacking us with their athletes.
Those are still excellent basketball
players, and we did not do enough to
neutralize their athleticism.”
Both teams came out of the gate
flat, and after Anthony Norwood’s
lay-in with 13:09 in the first half,
probably eliminated the Bruins’
chances altogether.
So sad. Because regardless of how
this season ends, die critics will
probably say the power has shifted
back north—to the Bay-Area.
Wrongfully unranked Oregon
has won its last six games. Before
Thursday, it was No. 42 in the Rat
ings Percentage Index. And when
UCLA and Arizona squared off
last Saturday on national televi
sion, commentators talked about
the two schools battling with
Stanford — and only Stanford —
for first place in the conference.
Without question, Oregon lacks
respect.
But as they walked off the court
after yet another win against the
Bruins, the Ducks proved they
have earned it.
“They’ve got to take notice
now,” point guard Shaquala
Williams said. “We’ve beat [UCLA]
twice, and I think we’ve beat every
team in the conference with the ex
ception of Arizona, so now people
know that we’re real, and we can
beat anybody at anytime. ”

the Ducks had the 11-7 advantage.
But then UCLA sophomore cen
ter Dan Gadzuric unloaded four
straight powerful dunks to give
the Bruins the 15-11 lead it would
not relinquish.
The closest the Ducks would get
would be 17-16 with 9:15 to play.
Then came the drought.
More than seven minutes passed
before Oregon scored again. And
when Smith, who led the Ducks
with 23 points, did convert the lay
in, it ended a 14-4 UCLA run.
Perhaps the biggest key to the
game was in the rebounding de
partment, where the Bruins held a
45-29 advantage, including 16 of
fensive boards.
“We gave them an opportunity
to get second and third shots at
point blank range,” Kent said.
“We’ve gone away from being the
number one defensive rebound
ing team in the conference to
about sixth or seventh place.”
Luckily for Oregon, it had the op
portunity to block the past two
games against USC at 5 p.m. on Sat
urday.
“We’re not in the tournament
yet,” Kent said. “Maybe this is a
wake-up call.”
