He connected on 242 shots from beyond the arc, second all-time in school history and eighth in the Pacific-10 Conference's. Jackson, Davis and Anderson went 81-45 in four seasons with the Ducks, and Joseph was 41-22 in two years. No consolation This season marked the first since 1983 that the NIT decided not to have a consolation game, citing at tendance as a reason. The 12,630 in attendance at Tues day's games was better than the aver age per session that the tournament had in the past three seasons. Tonight's attendance would rank fourth on the list since the 1983 season if Tuesday's figure is attained or bettered when Rut gers and Michigan play. However, Rutgers, which is located in nearby New Brunswick, N.J., brought many of its fans to the game Madison Square Garden was a sea of red for the Scarlet Knight's game against Iowa State, which the team won, 84-81, in overtime. That win sets the stage for the final tonight in New York. "To have a chance to win the na tional championship just shows the strides we have made and it shows the hard work (we have put in)," Rutgers guard Ricky Shields said. "It is a building block for us to move on to the next big stage. Right now, we just want to com pete Thursday night to the best of our abilities and do the things that can help us win." Well, they had the Pac-10 down pat Who could possibly unite all the fans at Madison Square Garden? The Oregon cheerleaders, of course. While the Ducks saw their small lead evaporate quickly, then Michigan's grow substantially, the team's cheerleaders began to get the biggest ovations. Fans yelled individual comments throughout the arena, and eventu ally gave a standing ovation. Michigan, Oregon, Rutgers fans, it didn't matter. During halftime, one of the cheerleaders was even seen taking a picture with a Rutgers fan. Must be that New York hospitali ty everyone's always talking about.

Ani Nyhus, seen here competing earlier in the season, threw a one-hitter against Portland State on Wednesday, her first start after a no hitter against Utah State. Erik R.Bishoff Photographer SOFTBALL continued from page 13 senior season. Nyhus struck out three in her two innings of work. In Oregon's three game winning streak, Nyhus has struck out 31 batters in 16 innings of work. Richards was 3 for 4 with three RBIs to lead Oregon in the victory. Vikings second baseman Erin Stokey was 2 for 3 with an RBI. The Ducks return to Pac-10 play Friday when they face California.

It just wasn't. Not for Luke Jack son. Not for the talent he brought to Eugene. Definitely not for what he brought to the Oregon program. Oregon's loss to Michigan in the semifinals Tuesday at Madison Square Garden was not the way Jackson was destined to go out. Especially with the Creswell native on the bench for the final 3:22 of the game. The senior scored 17 points against the Wolverines, just four of those in the second half. When the Ducks needed him the most, he couldn't step up. But no blame should fall on him. When the Wolverines proved they were too athletic for the Ducks, all the dominoes fell, including the biggest — Jackson. He tried. Oh did he ever. But he couldn't get past the Michigan de fenders and into the lane, as Colorado allowed in the second half and George Mason and Notre Dame al lowed all game. No, the Ducks went up against a more talented team. Jackson was the perfect player at the right time for head coach Ernie Kent's program. He brought the team an im age of durability, strength and a win ning swagger. He and the other seniors always said they remember what it was like their freshman season when the Ducks failed to make it to the postsea son. They remember the heartache, the boredom, the jealousy of seeing other players from other schools live Turn to HAGER, page 16 IWiWIhmi Community Center lor die Performing Arts 8th & Lincoln ■ Friday ■ Genus Pro CD Release Party Family, Michael K, Ufa Taylor, Dl’s Matt NeUunEdiaiieediaz, hosted by Bi?
