STANFORD
continued from page 9A
Then, maybe, Oregon could've
pulled off the upset.
"I was proud of these guys, the
way they battled," Oregon head
coach Ernie Kent said. "That was the
same kind of effort we had against
them at home. I challenged them to
play hard and work against Stan
ford, and they did."
Oregon couldn't capitalize on early
second-half Cardinal foul trouble.
Stanford was charged with seven fouls
in the first five minutes of the second
half. The Ducks couldn't run, couldn't
get their offense going.
The Cardinal were charged with
five more along the way.
"Actually, I think that might have
been one of the reasons why it was a
little uneven down the stretch," Platt
said. "I'm sure (Stanford head coach
Mike) Montgomery was saying,
'Look, it's 7-1 in fouls.' The officials
probably noticed that.
"You can't leave it up to the offi
cials, though. You've got to go out
there and play as a team and win the
game yourself."
The Cardinal took an eight-point
lead with 7:32 to play and looked like
it would control the game from that
point on.
Much like it had been in the first
half, Oregon came back on a 9-0 run.
Jackson hit a jumper to start, then
knocked down two free throws after a
Matt Haryasz foul.
Ian Crosswhite sank two free
throws less than a minute later. Then,
James Davis capped the run with his
second and final three-pointer of the
game with 4:38 to play.
Joseph knocked down four three
pointers, leading Oregon with 16
points. Jackson scored 12 points, his

He had nine in the second half, but
again the Cardinal controlled his shot
selection. Only a few times did he get
a chance to penetrate to the basket,
and when Jackson did, a sea of red de
fenders converged in the paint.
The shots he did get off in the paint
were floaters, quite unlike what fans
at McArthur Court saw from him for
most of the season.
As good of a season Jackson may
have had, it was his inability to lead the
underachieving Ducks into the postsea
son that stands out most. He scored 39
points against Oregon State in January

and a career-high 42 against Arizona a
month later, both of which were losses.
Joseph and Davis did get decent
looks at the basket against the Cardi
nal. Joseph showed during the Pacif
ic- 10 Conference Tournament what
he hadn't for most of the season: He
can be a pure shooter given the right
situation and would play a significant
role on a winning team, as he did pri
or to this season when Oregon went
23-10 in 2003.
Davis, meanwhile, got those looks
and had chances to put the Ducks in
commanding situations. He just
couldn't do it, instead leading Oregon
to a berth in the NIT.
Oh, and that post play? Mitch Platt
played a key role in the fact that the
Ducks hung around as long as they did.
His reward? Getting replaced by Ian
Crosswhite as the game's stretch drive
arrived.
Oregon's reward? A second-round
upset bid stopped dead in its tracks by
No. 2 Stanford.
Jackson and the Ducks should take
the loss to Stanford as a lesson. See
what happens when a team is bal
anced offensively, but still manages to
allow its top offensive threat to con
trol the flow of the game?
Childress, arguably Stanford's most
gifted offensive player, led the Cardinal
with 18 points. But he also found the
time to give the ball up. Lottich had 15
and Rob Little scored 13 points.
That comes from hard work on the
offensive end of the floor. There were
but a few series for Stanford where
the Cardinal wasn't setting a screen
at the top of the key or allowing one
of its big men to cut to the basket un
touched.
As hard as Oregon tried to do that,
it had no foundation to build on. As
big of a disappointment as Jackson's
output was — but not effort-wise,
you can't criticize that — even more
disconcerting was a lack of offensive
discipline.
Make no mistake, the Ducks didn't
take a lead into halftime because of
hard work and discipline. No, that
was a lackluster effort from Stanford.
The Cardinal played down to Ore
gon's level in the first half, then real
ized it could use another win before
the NCAA Tournament starts.
"You can get wonderful highs and
you can have a lot of success, but at
the same time, when you give every
thing and you get defeated, it just
makes it that much tougher when you
leave it out on the floor," Jackson said.
"Because it means that much to me,
and it means that much to the rest of
the guys."
In the end, that just wasn't enough.
