Ducks sit ninth at midpoint
of Pac-10 championships
Five Oregon wrestlers must
win their two matches on
Monday to qualify for the
2004 NCAA tournament
By Scott Archer
Freelance Reporter
It's halfway through the 2004 Pacif
ic-10 Conference wrestling tourna
ment, and at this point the tourna
ment is a
mirror to how
the regular sea
son went for
the Ducks.
DUCK
WRESTLING
At the end of
the first day of the two-day tournament,
Oregon is ninth in team standings,
ahead of the only Pac-10 team it beat
this year, Portland State
Leading the way is Boise State, fol
lowed closely by Stanford and host Ari
zona State.
Freshman Joey Lucas entered the
tournament in the 125-pound class
against Portland State's Zac Enoch.
Lucas lost his match and proceeded
to the consolation bracket where he
defeated Eric Stevenson of Oregon
State before losing to Vic Moreno of
Cal Poly.
Jason Harless got off to a good start
in the 133-pound bracket, defeating
Chris Sanchez of Cal-State Fullerton. In
the next round Harless lost to Derek
Moore of UC-Davis. Harless moved
into the consolation bracket where he
faced Tim Norman of Oregon State, ad
vancing into session three against Paul
Gross of Stanford.
If Harless wins the match today, the
worst he could place would be fourth
in his weight class. If he loses to Gross,
he must win the next match to place
fifth. To finish third and hope for a
chance to qualify for the NCAA tourna
ment Harless will need to win his last
two matches today.
Johnny Lugo lost in his first
match of the 141-pound class
against No. 1 seeded Brad Metzler
of Stanford. In the next round Lugo
lost to Jeremy Mendoza.
The same happened for freshman
Cyle Hartzellm who lost his first two
matches, ending his season.
No. 4 seeded Joey Bracamonte lost
in his first match to five-seed Jeremi
ah Jarvis of UC-Davis in the 157
pound class.
Bracamonte won his next two
matches to put him against No. 2 seed
Ben Charrington of Boise State Braca
monte needs to win his last two match
es to place third in the weight class and
to earn an opportunity to go to the
NCAA tournament.
No. 3 seed Luke Larwin won his first
match against Russell Brunson of Boise
State, but lost the second on the day.
Larwin is in the same position as Har
less and Bracamonte; needing two wins
to place third.
174-pound junior Chet McBee re
bounded from a first match loss to win
against Jon Carlisle of Boise State Much
like his teammates, two wins would
earn McBee a third place finish.
184-pounder Dustin Fisher lost his
first two matches, ending his season.
Fisher opened the tournament against
No. 1 seed Dan Pitsch of Oregon State.
Senior Jake Leair lost his opening
match to K.C. Walsh of Boise State;
however, the results of his next match
against Stanford's Larry Ozowara were
not posted.
And in the heavyweight division
Oregon wrestled little-used Chris Dear
man. Dearman lost his opening match,
but rallied to win his next two matches
placing him, like his teammates, two
wins away from the all-important third
place finish.
Oregon will continue wrestling
today and each Duck wrestler must
win their next two matches to be
considered for an NCAA tourna
ment invitation.

the Emerald.

scored 29 points, hitting on four
three-pointers, for his third double
double of the season.
"I've just been trying to be aggressive,
attack the basket and open up things
for my teammates," Childress said.
The Ducks had problems offensive
ly early on and those issues extended
throughout the game. Oregon missed
its first 10 shots and didn't score until
Aaron Brooks made a layup with 13:31
to play in the first half.
Stanford, meanwhile, was not much
better, missing seven straight field goals
before Matt Lottich hit a three-pointer
four minutes into the game.
That's when the Cardinal (25-0 over
all, 16-0 Pac-10) pushed ahead in a big
way. After an offensive barrage, it led
13-0 three minutes later.
"I really felt like the game got away
from us early on," Oregon head coach
Ernie Kent said. "They gave us some
great looks early on and we couldn't
knock down shots."
Oregon (12-11, 7-9) eventually
pulled out of its shooting woes, coming
to within one, 13-12, with 11 minutes
to play.
That mattered little, though, as the
Cardinal outscored the Ducks 28-12
entering the break.
"We're not going to beat anybody
shooting the ball that poorly," Kent
said, alluding to Oregon's 29 percent
shooting from the field in the first half.
"We needed easy baskets because they
are such a great transition team. Defen
sively, when we break down, it's hard to
run while they're scoring baskets."
The second half was just as unkind
to the Ducks. Oregon never got closer
than 15 points en route to its 18th
straight loss at Maples Pavilion.
"They are a great basketball team,"
Kent said. "They deserve everything
they get."
Jackson led Oregon with 18
points, 11 coming in the second
half. Aaron Brooks scored a career
high 17 — passing his previous best
of 16 against California on Thurs
day. For the second straight game, he
hit four three-pointers.
No other Ducks scored in dou
ble-digits.
The win is Stanford's 25th straight
and pushes the Cardinal a game clos
er to a perfect regular season record.
The Ducks, meanwhile, lost their
fourth straight game, the first time
that's happened since the 2000-01
season. That year was also the last
time Oregon missed the postseason,
something this year's team is coming
dangerously close to doing.
"We're going to come out hard and
play, regardless, for our seniors," Brooks
said of the team's final two games of the
season. "We've just got to come out and
play no matter what. *
As the Ducks were set to leave the
Bay Area, construction crews began
tearing down Maples Pavilion. The
arena is set to undergo a $30 million
renovation.
Piece by piece, the building will be
tom down.
Kind of like Oregon's season.
