Newspaper Page TextLOSS continued from page 11 throughout the tournament," Michigan head coach Tommy Amaker said. "We played that way again tonight, especially on the defensive end of the court. We did a good job of neutralizing their scorers." Jackson's 17 points led the Ducks, and he finished with 1,970 in his four seasons in Eugene. This season proved to be his best yet, ending it with 656 points, good for second all-time on Oregon's single-season list. Yet, it didn't matter. The records he amassed go out the door. For the night at least. "It's tough because a lot of (Oregon's) guys have never played in that atmosphere," Jackson said. "You can't make excuses. The bot tom line: Michigan did whatever it wanted on offense. "I felt like we were good * enough to win this tournament, but that's how it goes." Oregon's other two seniors, Jay Anderson and James Davis, ended their careers with two and three points in the game, respectively. Michigan placed four scorers in double figures, led by Daniel Hor ton's 15 points. The sophomore connected on three three-pointers in the first half. He also had nine assists and one turnover. "He was tough," Davis said. "He was knocking down all those shots." Oregon held the lead as late as the 13:18 mark of the first half. At that point, the Wolverines had been able to hit on just two three-pointers. That's when Horton connected on his second of the night, push ing Michigan to the lead for good. Then Lester Abram made a three-pointer. Which was fol lowed by another Abram score, this one coming down in the paint. Then Chris Hunter made his only three-pointer of the game, coming at the 9:33 mark. Just like that, the Ducks were down by seven. And just like that, their season was effectively over.

Bishoff Photographer Leonidas Watson will compete in the long jump and triple jump outdoors for the second time as a Duck at the Texas Relays. CHALLENGERS continued from page 13 The transfer from Colorado recorded per sonal bests of 14.10 in the 110 hurdles and 51.99 in the 400 hurdles in 2003. Highlighting the Oregon jumpers is junior Leonidas Watson. The St. Louis Community College transfer partook in his first outdoor field event of the season last weekend in Tucson, Ariz., winning the long jump with a mark of 25-4 1/2 and placing second in the triple jump (51-5). Watson said he was happy with his performance during the indoor season — he also garnered All-American status — and is looking forward to facing the stiff competition that awaits Oregon at the Texas Relays. "I love jumping against quality com petition," Watson said. "It makes me jump better." Watson also said he would like to reach 26 feet in the long jump and 53 feet in the triple jump. Sophomore Jeff Lindsey will compete in the high jump for Oregon. The Mans field, Texas, native cleared a personal best of 7-2 in 2002. Redshirt freshman Bobby Owen also returns to his home state and will com pete in the high jump for the Ducks. Senior Adam Jenkins and junior Paul Etter will represent Oregon in throwing events.

Oregon will also compete in the Pepsi Team Invite at Hayward Field the fol lowing weekend. Contact the sports reporter at jonroetman@dailyemerald.com.
