Homegrown talent leads Ducks to victory
■ Luke Jackson led Oregon
with 13 points Saturday,
proving that local talents
are not all named Smith
By Peter Hockaday
Oregon Daily Emerald
There is a new kid from town.
Luke Jackson, a freshman guard
from Creswell, is slowly stepping
into the role vacated by departed
senior A.D. Smith as the local hero of
the Oregon men’s basketball team.
Jackson had his first big game Sat
urday night against Portland State,
and his three-pointers and jumpers
garnered just as much McArthur
Court crowd reaction as a Freddie
Jones alley-oop dunk.
“I feel like I’m fitting in more and
more as I get more minutes on the
court,” Jackson said.
Jackson had the best night of his
young Oregon career Saturday, scor
ing 13 points to lead the Ducks in
their 84-66 win over the Vikings at
McArthur Court. He added six re
bounds, three assists and two steals
in 16 minutes of floor time.
‘‘He is a very skilled basketball
player,” Oregon head coach Ernie
Kent said. “He can shoot the outside
ball as well play inside.
“He’s getting into a little bit of a
groove, that’s why I wanted to leave
him out on the floor as much as I
could tonight.”
Jackson’s most electrifying mo
ment came with five minutes left in
the game, when the freshman
drained two three-pointers from well
behind the three-point stripe to give
the Ducks their biggest lead at 71-38.
After the second three-pointer,
the crowd was on their feet, and
making close to as much noise as
7,471 people can make.
“I know a lot
of people here,
growing up in
this small com
munity,” Jackson
said. “It’s good to
have support.”
Jackson re
ceived an ova
tion when he sat down for the last
time, with four minutes left in the
game. It may not have equaled the
ovation Smith received the last time
he took the court against Oregon
State last season, but the hometown
affection was evident.
“It felt really good to get a few
points tonight,” Jackson said. “I just
got into a rhythm, and the shots
started dropping.”
Jackson wasn’t the only freshman
to step up Saturday night. James
Davis, Jay Anderson and Luke Rid
nour all set career records for points
Saturday night, and all but Ridnour
set career records for minutes.
“It was nice to see everyone step
up tonight,” Jackson said about his
fellow freshmen.
Ridnour pointed to a three
minute stretch in the second half
when all four freshmen were on the
floor, and accounted for 12 straight
Oregon points.
“It’s good to see them get their feet
wet a little bit,” said senior center
Julius Hicks. “We’re going to need
them down the road.”
The freshmen were effective as
well as potent. The four players
combined to shoot 13-for-28 from
the floor, 9 of 19 from three-point
land and 4-for-7 from the charity
stripe. Jackson was the most effec
tive freshman, shooting 5 of 8 from
the floor and 3-for-4 from behind
the three-point line.
Kent hopes the freshmen contin
ue to develop into offensive threats.
“We have so much growth poten
tial in this team,” Kent said.
Oregon will try to grow once
more when they take on Portland
Tuesday at Mac Court.
