Beavers’ backs against wall
■Oregon State praises the play
of the Pac-10’s leading Ducks
By Jeff Smith
Oregon Daily Emerald
Not much went right for the Ore
gon State men on Saturday — not
in Eugene or in Seattle.
The Beavers were run out of
McArthur Court in a 91-62 loss to
No. 17 Oregon that puts them on
the brink of having a non-winning
record for the 12th straight season.
Oregon State (10-14, 3-11) also
ended the night clinging to eighth
place after Washington upset Cali
fornia, 75-60, to move within a half
game of the Beavers.
Only the top eight teams in the
Pacific-10 Conference standings ad
vance on to the Pac-10 Tournament
so there’s no time to waste for the
Beavers, especially with the
Huskies visiting Gill Coliseum on
Thursday.
“We’ll bounce back,” Oregon
State head coach Ritchie McKay
said. “I’m hoping to get some guys
back to 100 percent health.”
One of those players not at full
strength is forward Brian Jackson,
who scored eight points in 17 min
utes Saturday despite playing with
an abdominal strain. Oregon State
needs Jackson healthy to take some
of the pressure off Philip Ricci’s
shoulders.
Ricci led the Beavers with 20
points, while Floyd North III
scored 11.
The play of those two helped
bring Oregon State to within 28-25
with 6:10 to play in the first half,
but then the Ducks connected on
three three-pointers in a 17-2 run
that the Beavers could never recov
er from. i
“They hit some big shots to keep
their crowd in it,” Ricci said. “They
have a great home-court advantage.”
“When they get that crowd going,
it’s tough,” McKay said. “It’s a chal
lenging environment. You have to
be really tough mentally to over
come that.”
More so than the atmosphere at
Mac Court, though, McKay was
simply impressed with the play of
the Ducks. The second-year Beaver
coach has now lost all four games
against Oregon, but knows that this
year’s version has the ability to be
come something special.
“They’re as good a team as I’ve
seen in my seven years coaching,”
McKay said. “Oregon has a good
Oregon State will need a healthy Brian Jackson it it is going to secure a berth in the Pac-10
Tournament. Jackson is currently playing with an abdominal strain.
chance to advance deep into the
NCAA Tournament.”
The Beavers played the Ducks
much tougher during a 63-51 loss
in Corvallis on Jan. 19 where the
style of play was slowed down with
much of the offense taking place in
the halfcourt.
McKay said he can see the differ
ence in Oregon from its road play to
its fast-paced tone at home and be
lieves that will be the difference for
the Ducks in the Big Dance.
“It’s a great team and if they play
at their level of consistency on a
neutral floor they’ll be a great rep
resentative of this conference in the
NCAA Tournament,” McKay said.
An invitation to March Madness
is but a dream to the Beavers, but for
that dream to even still be thought
of, they must hold off the Washing
ton schools in the standings.
Should they do that, they’d fin
ish eighth and qualify for the Pac
10 Tournament, which grants an
automatic berth into the NCAAs to
the team that wins it.
“Oregon State is a good basket
ball team,” Oregon head coach
Ernie Kent said. “When the game is
close, they can really take it to you
with their style of play. ”
But Saturday’s contest wasn’t
close, ending a day that didn’t treat
the Beavers kindly.
