RECAP continued from page 7 5 of 7 from beyond the three-point line. California held Jackson to eight points in the half, but couldn't keep Ian Cross white and Jay Anderson off the boards. "It was definitely a game we want ed to come in and get at them," Ore gon guard James Davis said. "We had a solid first half." The Ducks were out-rebounded by one in the half, 13-12, but led in the end by seven. Most of those second half rebounds came in the faces of Cal players, who with the help of the Ducks turned the game into a "chippy, scrappy" affair. "It was pretty scrappy and got chip py toward the end," Anderson said. "It's a pretty good rivalry between these two teams." Jackson led the Ducks in scoring for the seventh game in a row. Crosswhite had 16 while Davis, who suffered leg cramps during most of the second half, had 13. Davis was 2 of 5 from the field and tied a season-high with five assists. "They're pretty bad," he said of his legs. "Both calves were just knotted up." Defensively, the Ducks kept the Pac-10's worst shooting team at bay, holding the Golden Bears to 45.8 per cent from the field and 9.1 percent from beyond the three-point line. Marquise KateIy scored 13 points in the second half and led California with 17 points while Leon Powe, the team's freshman sensation, had 12. Powe got into foul trouble early, earn ing a technical in the first half after fouling Jackson, and was 4 of 7 shoot ing with seven rebounds. "We treated Oregon as the leading shot block team in the country," Cali fornia head coach Ben Braun said. "We were rushing shots, missing lay-ups and getting no fouls. We have to come away with something when we go to the hoop. In the second half, we finished better, and we had less turnovers." In that second half, California broke down a 17-point Oregon lead the Ducks owned at the start. The Ducks jumped out to a 23-point lead just two minutes in, but California proceeded to go on a 16-3 scoring run in the next four-and-a-half minutes. The teams virtually matched each other until Kately's layup with 4:41 made Oregon's lead shrink to eight. A dunk by Kately less than two minutes later gave the Ducks urgency, forcing Kent to call a 30-second timeout. I he Ducks regrouped and held on for the 12-point victory. "You see that all the time," Kent said of the second-half charge. "(The Gold en Bears) are a good team. They settled. "I'm proud of this team the way they came together in the last three minutes." Davis started his first career game at point guard, which was necessitat ed after sophomore Brandon Lin coln was slightly injured during practice Tuesday. Lincoln played six minutes in the first half, eventually ending the game playing 10. He was 2 of 3 from the field and turned the ball over twice. More than once, he was pestered by California's A.J. Diggs, and turned the ball over at the 13:08 mark of the sec ond half that helped the Golden Bears get to within 10. The Ducks host No. 2 Stanford Saturday at McArthur Court at 3 p.m. The Cardinal defeated Oregon State in Corvallis Thursday and the team is one of two in the nation still undefeated. Stanford is 17-0 for a reason. " They all play their parts and they are good because they work togeth er," Kent said. "It will be a game where we have to work. They don't beat themselves. They don't play down to your level."
