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."
