Veterans lead UO to win in season opener ■ Oregon’s Bryan Braceyand Freddie Jones lead the charge, in helping Oregon secure a season-opening win By Peter Hockaday Oregon Daily Emerald With all the hype surrounding a highly recruited, highly talented freshman class, the veterans on the Oregon men’s basketball team al most got overlooked before the 2000-01 season. Almost. In Friday’s season opener against Mississippi Valley State, veterans Bryan Bracey, Freddie Jones and Julius Hicks combined for 52 points to lead the Ducks to an 85-70 victory in front of 7,664 fans at McArthur Court. “They all stepped up and played like veteran guys, like it was their opportunity and their time,” head coach Ernie Kent said. Bracey had his first career dou ble-double, finishing with 22 points and 12 rebounds on the game. Bracey was an “automatic score” in the post, according to Kent. “He’s done a great job of making himself a better basketball player, and now he needs to focus on mak ing us a better basketball team,” Kent said. “That’s where the re bounds come in.” Bracey had only two rebounds in each of the Ducks’ two exhibition games before Friday’s season opener. “That’s my job, to crash the boards, and just play hard to help my team win,” Bracey said. “I’m an offensive-minded player and I love to score, and if that’s what my team needs me to do than that’s what I’m going to do.” Bracey’s 22 points left him one short of his career-high. Jones also had an almost-best performance Friday night, scoring 21 points in the third-highest show ing of his career. But Jones con tributed to the team in another way: He brought back the flashy plays that the Mac Court faithful used to see from Alex Scales last season. “People don’t realize it wasn’t just Alex doing that last year,” Jones said. The veterans made up for the poor play of the freshmen. The trio of older players scored 61 percent of Oregon’s points, while the three freshmen — Ridnour, Luke Jackson and James Davis — scored a com bined 14 points. Wisdom over youth? Kent hopes the two will combine at some point. “We’re going to get there,” Kent said when asked if the freshmen will learn from Friday’s game and gel with the upperclassmen. “It’s just going to take us some time.” Heartbreak continued from page 1 Both teams would score once more in the second half for the fi nal margin. Obviously, an Oregon win would have sent the Ducks (9-2 overall, 7-1 Pacific-10 Conference) to their first Rose Bowl berth since the 1994 season. Instead, the loss has put them in bowl limbo. The Ducks’ most likely possibili ty is a trip to Hawaii for either the Aloha or the O’ahu Bowls, but they still could end up in San Diego, Calif., for the Holiday Bowl or back in El Paso, Texas for the Sun Bowl. Oregon State could have earned its first Rose Bowl berth since 1964 with the win — but only if Wash ington would have lost. Instead, the Huskies learned of the Civil War score, and then ran all over Washington State, 51-3, in the Ap ple Cup to reach the Rose Bowl. The three Northwest schools are all Pac-10 co-champions, but Wash ington gets the nod because it con trols the tie-breakers in the three way tie. The first comparison is the non-conference record, with Ore gon’s 2-1 mark being cause for elim ination. Then, Oregon State and Wash ington — who both finished 3-0 in the preseason — get matched up head-to-head, with the Huskies coming out on top due to its 33-30 victory against the Beavers Oct. 7. The Ducks will not learn its bowl fate until Dec. 3, when the fi nal Bowl Championship Series rankings are released and the BCS bowls selects its teams. The Beavers are still in the running for a BCS bid such as the Fiesta Bowl, which would send the Ducks to the Holiday Bowl. A USC victory over Notre Dame next weekend would help the Beavers’ cause. “Man, I tell you what, I have nothing against El Paso or any other bowl games, but I’m not trying to go back to El Paso,” senior wide receiv er Marshaun Tucker said. “Hey, Hawaii or Sun Bowl, whatever.” Tucker admitted that even when things looked bleak for Oregon, he never stopped believing. “We’ve been fighting from be hind all year long. They could have put up 30 points and it wouldn’t have mattered to me, be cause I know what kind of team we got,” Tucker said. “Unfortu nately, we couldn’t do the type of things that we have in the past. “But without a doubt you can say it’s a great season.” The Ducks will have the week off to clear their heads and enjoy the Thanksgiving break before getting back together to prepare for a bowl game and a chance for the first 10 win season in Oregon football histo ry Call (541)3464343 or stop by Room 300 Erb Memorial Union to place your ad today.
