Jones baffles Arizona with

Oregon’s 86-81 victory
By Brett Williams
Oregon Daily Emerald
Talk about sweet redemp
tion.
Oregon’s Freddie Jones was
out to prove a point Saturday
against Arizona. Last season,
with the Ducks trailing by one
in the waning seconds, Jones
had a chance to do what college
basketball players dream of.
He was at the line with a chance
for underdog Oregon to upset one
ofthe country’s elite teams.
But both of Jones’ shots hit
iron, and Arizona escaped with
a two-point victory.
Tins year, as a more mature
and experienced sophomore,
Jones single-handedly took over
the game and prompted an im
probable comeback as Oregon
knocked off No. 3 Arizona, 86-81,
on Saturday at McArthur Court.
The Ducks needed a lift, trail
ing by 17 with just twelve min
utes left, and Jones repeatedly
came through. He scored 14 of
Oregon’s last 20 points, burning
Arizona’s Luke Walton consis
tently on drives to the basket.
With the Ducks behind 77
68, Jones went to work. His
layup and three-pointer cut
Oregon’s deficit to 77-71.

Cougars hand Ducks devastating loss
The women’s
tennis team is
unable to
stave off a
Washington
State rally in
its final home
contest
I
By Robbie McCalium

Doubles play has been the
Achilles heel for the Oregon
women’s tennis team all sea
son. No. 34 Washington State
took advantage of that weak
ness on Sunday, pulling out an
amazing comeback victory by
winning all three of its doubles
competition in the Ducks’ final
home match.
“This was a difficult loss for
us,” head coach Jack Griffin
said. “This definitely shows
that our singles are where they
need to be and that doubles
need some improvement. We
just had a few sloppy periods
and gave up a few loose points.
It was a very exciting match,
unfortunately we came out on
the losing end.”
Ahead 4-2 after singles play,
the Ducks looked as if they
were going to knock off their
second ranked opponent of the
season. Oregon needed only
one doubles win to clinch
what would have been their
sixth win of the season. But the
Cougars (6-4 overall, 0-3 Pacif
ic-10 Conference) came roaring
back to prevail, 5-4.
Coupled with a 7-2 loss to
No. 21 Washington on Satur
day, the Ducks fell to 5-7 over
all and 1-5 in the Pac-10. De
spite playing conference foes,
the two losses counted as non
conference and will not go
against their Pac-10 record.
Oregon has a chance for re
venge against the Washington
schools at the end of March.

Weather proved to be the
toughest opponent of all in
southern California.
Three of the No. 25 Oregon
softball team’s games were
rained out and another inter
rupted by the bad weather at
the Easton Showcase Tourna
ment in Fullerton, Calif.
The Ducks (11-8) won two
games and dropped one during
the weekend. The team started
the tournament on the right
foot when it handed Colorado
State a 6-2 defeat.
Oregon jumped ahead of the
Reims in the bottom of the first
and never looked back. Jill
Robinson’s two-out single was
turned into a double on an er
ror by Colorado State’s right
fielder Katie Koch. TViawn
