NIT
continued from page 13
Davis ended the year with 86
three-pointers, fourth best in a single
season. 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.

Behind the dish
Jackson's
Oregon
finale less
than fitting
NEW YORK — It wasn't fitting.
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
