AD Smith (00) celebrates Oregon’s last-second win over Arizona State in basketball two years ago, as players hug hero Darius Wright
(in background). The Ducks scored six points in six seconds to win, including Wright’s buzzer-beating three-pointer.
History
continued from page 4B
drove the field in nine plays and 49
seconds. The drive culminated in
Harrington’s confident bomb pass to
Marshaun Tucker in the comer of the
endzone from the 29-yard line.
Final score: Oregon 20, Arizona
State 17.
“Joey Harrington led a tremen
dous last-secon^ drive, maybe as
good of a drive as I've seen in the 11
years I’ve been here,” Bellotti said
after that game in 1999.
Bellotti would see more spectac
ular comeback drives from Harring
ton, including one a year later
against the Sun Devils.
But first back to 1999-2000. Later
that same school year, on March 2,
the Oregon men’s basketball team
faced a similar showdown with the
Sun Devils.
Oregon and Arizona State battled
back and forth all game long. The
team’s premier players were on
show, with Oregon’s Alex Scales
netting 31 points, and Sun Devil
guard Eddie House — now a mem
ber of the NBA’s Miami Heat —
pacing his team with 15 points.
House’s most important points
came on two free throws with six
seconds left in the game. The two
charity shots put Arizona State up
by four points, but more important
ly made the game a two-possession
contest.
On Oregon ensuing possession,
Ben Lindquist threw an inbound
pass downcourt to Scales, who
nailed a three-pointer to make the
score 74-73 Sun Devils. On Arizona
State’s inbound pass, Kyle Dodd
threw downcourt to House, who
misplayed the ball out of bounds.
With 3.4 seconds left, Lindquist
again had the task of initiating the
“home run” play. He heaved it
downcourt, and the ball bounced
off House’s hands, into the hands of
Oregon point guard Darius Wright,
who had scored three points in the
game to that point.
“Joey Harrington ted a
tremendous iast-second
drive, maybe as good of a
drive as I've seen in the 11
years I’ve been here.”
Mike Bellotti
Oregon head coach
Wright drilled the three-pointer
at the buzzer to give Oregon the 76
74 victory in front of 9,045 deliri
ous fans.
“I just picked it up, turned
around and shot,” Wright said after
the game. “I didn't really know it
went in until everyone started
jumping on me.”
If that game had an improbable
finish, the 2000 football game be
tween the two teams was the king
of improbability.
The Ducks’ weekend got off on
the wrong foot when their flight to
Tempe, Ariz., was delayed.
“We didn’t get in until 1 or 2 a.m.
that next morning,” Bellotti said.
“That was the start of the game, in a
sense.”

The teams started off slow on de
fense, and matched touchdown for
touchdown on offense. Heading into
the fourth quarter, the teams were
deadlocked at 28-28. But Jeff Krohn
passed for two touchdowns, and
Mike Williams ran for another to put
Arizona State up 49-35 with 5:47 left.
It was simply a setup for the
wildest finish of the season.
Harrington hit Tucker for a 32
yard touchdown pass with 3^21
left, making the score 49-42 Sun
Devils. After a failed onside kick
and a defensive stop, Oregon got
the ball back. The Ducks drove
the field, but Justin Peelle was
stopped on a fourth-down pass
from Harrington at the one-yard
line, with only 1:22 to play.
Arizona State needed only to
run out the clock, but Williams
fumbled the ball back to Oregon.
Harrington hit Peelle in the end
zone with 27 seconds remaining,
sending the game to overtime.
In the second overtime period,
Oregon’s Allan Amundson ran in
for a score, but Arizona State
answered right back with a 22
yard touchdown strike from
Krohn to Williams. The Sun
Devils elected to go for two
points instead of one, and
Krohn’s pass to tight end Todd
Heap fell through Heap’s hands.
Final score, 56-55, Oregon.
“The last two years, this game
has been tremendously exciting,”
Bellotti said.
Exciting indeed.
There have been other tight con- -
tests with Arizona State through
the recent years. The Oregon soc
cer team took Arizona State to
overtime this season, before Annie
Murphy’s goal gave the Ducks the
win in the extra frame. In the past
four seasons, Oregon and Arizona
State have played to one-goal dif
ferences each year.
The Oregon women’s basketball
team needed its key 63-56 win
over Arizona State at home late
last season to secure a berth to the
NCAA Tournament. The Ducks’
men’s tennis team played a tough
Sun Devil club to a 5-2 loss. Two
seasons ago the Oregon men’s golf
team was forced out of the NCAA
Championships because of the fin
ish of the Sun Devil men at the
West Regionals.
Oregon and Arizona State: If
history is a guide, it should be a
devilishly good game to watch
Saturday.
