lead the Huskies to a win in Seat
tle, Washington State’s Marcus
Moore accomplished the same feat
Saturday, without the team victory.
Moore was unstoppable, scoring
from all over the court and eventu
ally ending up with 35 points.
Moore single-handedly got the
Cougars back into the game when
it looked like the Ducks might
pull away late in the second half.
Moore scored 10 points over a
four-minute stretch to lead Wash
ington State on a 17-2 run. At the
end of the run, the Ducks led by
only five points with 5:24 left in
the contest.
“That’s a good job for our
team to build a 21-point
lead after the way we played
the other night, to come
back and score the ball
so well.”
Ernie Kent
Oregon head coach
But the Ducks stiff-armed the
Cougars the rest of the way by
making foul shots — 13-of-14
overall down the stretch — and
layups.
“It’s nice to stop the (Washing
ton State) run, and finish a game
off and hit free throws,” Kent
said.
Oregon built its largest lead of
the contest shortly before the
Cougar run. With 10 minutes left
in the game, Ridnour drove to the
basket and hit a layup to make
the score 73-52 in favor of the
Ducks.

“That’s a good job for our team
to build a 21-point lead after the
way we played the other night, to
come back and score the ball so
well,” Kent said.
Ridnour’s game completed a
Northwest swing from heaven.
The sophomore guard equaled a
career-high with 23 points and
added seven assists against Wash
ington, with many of his family
and friends in attendance. On
Saturday, he got his career-best
with 24 points, and added three
assists.
Davis also had a career game
Saturday, scoring 21 points and
grabbing four rebounds. Davis’s
most telling statistic was his not
his three-point shooting but his
floor percentage. The sophomore,
who has often taken only threes
in the past, went 5-for-9 shooting
from in front of the arc against the
Cougars.
With the win, Oregon stayed in
a two-way tie for first place in the
Pac-10 at the conference’s mid
way point. Southern California is
also 7-2 in conference play after a
split with the Bay Area schools,
while UCLA, Arizona, California
and Stanford are all close behind
with three losses each.
“You’ve got six teams in this
conference that are NCAA teams,
five of them are in the top 25, and
Oregon, not Arizona or Stanford,
is sitting in first place in this con
ference at the turn,” Kent said.
“We want to take it and try to run
with it as hard as we can.”
Oregon will host UCLA and
USC on Thursday and Saturday,
respectively. With a sweep, the
Ducks would hold on to sole pos
session of first place in the Pac-10.
