Mother knows best
A little motherly care helped
Christoffersen fight through a
nasty sickness last week. The sen
ior had his parents visiting from
Denmark and was disappointed
that he wasn’t at full strength to
play well in front of them.
“It was frustrating, but I’m final
ly getting healthy,” Christoffersen
said. “I had a cold, which turned
into a case of bronchitis. I had
problems breathing. My throat was
all clogged up. But my mom’s tea
helped get me going again.
“She always tries to pamper me
when she visits.”
Christoffersen scored a com
bined eight points in just 28 min
utes of action during the weekend.
“We knew he was in trouble, but I
wanted to play him a little bit be
cause of his parents being here,”
Kent said. “He looks a lot better than
he did last week, that’s for sure.”
The 7-foot-2 center says he’s
now 100 percent ,,and excited for
this weekend’s challenge.
Dunks and drafts
Senior Freddie Jones impressed
many Saturday with his thunder
ing dunks, even those who have
seen him play for years.
“I was checking into the game at
the scorer’s table when he dunked

Lever said. “I felt like a cheer

behind me were telling me to sit

Jones was invited to participate
in the ESPN Slam Dunk contest
that will take place at the Final
Four in Atlanta. He’ll also play for
the college all-stars that weekend
in a game against the Harlem Glo
betrotters.
Jones will then fly to
Portsmouth, Va., for a pre-NBA
Draft camp that takes place April
3-6. Christoffersen was invited to
the camp as well.
In the draft projections on
nbadraft.net, Jones is a first round
selection (No. 24) by San Antonio
and Christoffersen is a second
round pick (No. 52) by Milwaukee.
Bracketology madness
ESPN’s Dick Vitale wrote in his
latest column that the Ducks are
one of 12 teams that he believes
can win the NCAA championship.
“On a neutral floor, the Cool
Hand Lukes along with Freddy
Jones and Chris Christoffersen,
give coach Ernie Kent’s Ducks a le
gitimate shot at the Final Four,” Vi
tale wrote.
Yes, Vitale misspelled Freddie
— again.
Also on ESPN.com, Oregon
jumped one seed in the latest
“Bracketology,” where the entire
NCAA Tournament field is pre
dicted every week until the real
bracket is announced March 10.
Oregon is a fourth seed and is
projected to play 13th-seeded
UNC-Wilmington on March 14 at
Arco Arena in Sacramento, Ca.
The Seahawks (19-9) can boast
something that Oregon can’t — a
win at Minnesota, where the
Ducks lost in December.
