After the Wildcats’ Gilbert Are
nas hit a jump shot, Jones respond
ed with another field goal. On Ore
gon's next possession, Jones hit a
shot from behind the arc to cut
Arizona’s lead to 80-76.
Then, following an Oregon time
out, Jones was fouled by Walton on
a drive to the hoop. He made both
free throws, and the Wildcat’s lead
was cut to just two points.
On the next Oregon possession,
Jones’ unselfish play yielded one of
the biggest field goals of the game.
Streaking down court, Jones re
ceived the ball from Darius Wright
and elevated. While in mid-air,
Jones saw Alex Scales in the corner
of his eye and made a nice assist that
knotted the game at 80-80.
“Alex was open at the last sec
ond,” said Jones, who scored a ca
reer-high 27 points against Ari
zona. “I was going to take the shot,
but I saw him open, and I’m real
comfortable with the ball in his
hands. He made a great play. ”
After four Wright free throws
put Oregon up 84-81, Jones had a
chance to erase last season’s
demons from the free-throw line.
He calmly approached the charity
stripe and sank both.
The rest is Mac Court history.
“I was thinking about last year
when we had them beat at home,”
Jones said. “I kind of slipped up at
the end, and I knew that wasn’t go
ing to happen again.
“The coaches have been on me,
and I wanted to come out and
show them the real Frederick
Jones. I haven’t showed it all year,
and I think tonight was a stepping
stone towards that. ”
Scales said he wasn’t surprised
with Jones’ spectacular play.

Freddie Jones shines brighter than ever Saturday, including the deciding free throws.
“He stepped up big,” said
Scales, who finished with 20
points on 8-18 shooting. “I knew
he would because last year he
missed those free throws and he
was disappointed. I had a feeling
he would play great.”
Wright agreed.
“The coaches have been on him,
so he was due for a big game,”
Wright said. “He played great, and
he was aggressive on offense and
defense, as well as rebounding.”
Oregon forward A.D. Smith said
Jones’ composure is a good indica
tion of his development thus far in
his young career at Oregon.
“I guess it was one of those
grooves you get in,” Jones said. “I
guess the bucket felt real big to
me.”
