Ducks save the best for last against Beavers
■ Bryan Bracey and the
Ducks shift it into high gear
in the second half and dispose
of their Civil War rival
By Peter Hockaday
Oregon Daily Emerald
On Saturday night, Oregon
proved that sometimes 10 minutes
of good basket
ball can make up
for 30 minutes of
bad basketball.
Ten minutes is
all the time it
took for the Ore
gon men’s basket
ball team to turn
a 13-point deficit into a 21-point
lead in its Civil War matchup with
Oregon State. The surge helped the
Ducks cruise to an 84-66 victory in
front of a sellout crowd of 9,087 at
McArthur Court.
“That was the best basketball
we’ve played all year,” Oregon
head coach Ernie Kent said. “It
might be the best basketball we’ve
played in one stretch since I’ve
been here.”
The run started when guards
Luke Ridnour and Freddie Jones
hit back-to-back three-pointers
with 4:55 left in the first half, to cut
a 28-15 Oregon State lead to 28-21.
Before those shots, Oregon had
made only one three-pointer, and
missed five. The Ducks ended up
hitting 11 of 27 from three-point
land.
“We came out sluggish,” Jones
said. “We were too motivated,
everyone was hyped up.”
After the guards’ big baskets,
Oregon tightened up its defense
and stopped Oregon State on all but
two of the Beavers’ remaining pos
sessions in the first half. As a result,
the Ducks had a 32-32 tie and all
the momentum heading into half
time.
“We locked them up defensively,
and Oregon State didn’t know what
to do,” junior guard Anthony Nor
wood said. “That shifted the mo
mentum from there.”
Jones capped the Ducks’ first half
run with a coast-to-coast reverse
lay-in, a play that got Mac Court
rocking and had the Beavers return
ing to the locker room with bowed
heads.
In the second half, senior for
ward Bryan Bracey took over the
game. On his way to 28 points,
Bracey burned Oregon State’s Jason
Heide — who played with four
fouls for most of the second half —
from the perimeter as well as the
post.
“I was just feeling it,” Bracey said.
Bracey made his presence felt
three minutes into the half, when
Jones tracked down a rebound and
found the big forward all alone in
the corner, where Bracey nailed his
first three-pointer of the contest.
With 13:03 on the clock, Bracey
starred in another highlight-reel
play that developed when Jones re
bounded an Oregon State miss and
fed Bracey an alley-oop pass on the
ensuing fast break. But the pass was
a little off, and Bracey did the only
thing he could and reverse dunked
it, bringing the crowd to its feet.
“If he’s on, then we want to get
him the ball every time,” Jones said
of Bracey.
After the Beavers’ Deaundra Tan
ner scored, Bracey hit a jumper that
widened the Ducks’ lead to 57-40
and forced Oregon State to take a
time-out. But the break couldn’t
slow down Bracey, and he hit a
three-pointer on Oregon’s next pos
session, then was fouled shooting a
jumper on the next play after that.
Bracey converted the three-point
play, and with a jumper on the next
possession, ended a two-minute
stretch in which he scored 12
points.
“My teammates talked to me in
the locker room at halftime,”
Bracey said. “They said ‘We need
you.’ I knew I had to help my team
if we wanted to win the game.”
The 10-minute stretch ended
with the Ducks up 65-44, and the
Oregon won a sure thing with just
under 10 minutes to play in the
game.

Horoscope by Linda C. Black
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 8). You're full of
good ideas, but a partner ensures your success.
Competition energizes you in January. Do the
research in February; then trust your intuition
in March. Postpone a household project in
April and make lime for a favorite playmate in
May. The work and pay are available in June.
Hand the reigns to an expert in July. Plan your
romantic jaunt for mid-September. Support an
inspired team in late October. Good news
sparkles in December.
To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10
is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)—Today is a 5 —
If you feel like somebody's draining your ener
gy, you're right. Quite a bit of conflict is going
on. You're not likely to win this fight. Pretend
you're a student, instead. Listen carefully and
take notes. Expect an exam later.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 9
—You're the big kid on the block. You have the
good sense everybody needs. Be a good friend
to a person who thinks the world of you. If
you’re looking for love, look no further.
GEMINI (May 21 - June 21)—Today is a 5 —
You're an intellectual. You prefer reason to
emotion. Today that's not going to get you far.
It's a soap opera out there. An influential person
could take wise cracks the wrong way, so keep
your witty retorts to yourself.
CANCER (June 22-July 22) — Today is an 8
— Everything will work out fine; more love's
available than ever before. Make time for an
important discussion with your mate and don't
be alarmed if the two of you don't agree. Also,
save time to kiss and make up later.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 4 —
You've got more work than you can finish. Be
side that, somebody’s nagging you. Don't com
plain. Prioritize and keep people appraised of
your progress. This is good for you, as you will
eventually see, possibly by this Wednesday.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)—Today is a 9 —
Talking your sweetheart into doing whatever
you want should be easy. He or she is in an af
fectionate mood, and you're just so cute, how
could anybody turn you down? They can't, so
don't speculate. Use the time to issue orders, in
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct 22) — Today is a 6 —
Good thing you're generally lucky. You could
ran into some interesting problems. You're good
at balancing, but today's a real challenge. It
turns out well, but winning this one could be
expensive.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 9
—Your intuition's excellent, especially regard
ing love. You'll know exactly what to do, and
your timing's perfect. Use something you've re
cently learned to stay in control. That's always
your favorite position.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today
is a 4 — Is the wolf pounding on your door?
Maybe you'd better lie low for a while. Spend
time in seclusion, figuring out how to pay off
everything that's due. It might require that you
do something you'd rather not.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is
an 8 — If you and a partner are having a dis
agreement, get a referee. A mutual friend would
love the chance to tell you both what to do.
You'll end up feeling blessed with what you do
have, instead of grumpy about what you don't.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 5
— You'd like to retreat into fantasy, but you
have to be practical. You can't put it off any
longer. The person who wanted what you were
going to provide last week is about to come get
it. Stop churning out excuses and get to work.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) —Today is a9 —
You don't have to look for love. Love is likely
to knock on your door. Prince Charming or the
Magical Princess may be riding over as we
speak. Now, if one of you can be practical about
money, you'll have a win-win situation.
