Good enough to beat hot-shoot
ing Wake Forest in what seemed
like a game o f 5 -on-3— and maybe
good enough to go a whole lot
further in the NCAA tournament.
Jackson matched his career high

Saturday to advance to the Mid
west Regional semifinals.
Jackson, Jones and Ridnour,
who carried Oregon (25-8) to its
first Pac-10 Conference title since
1939, accounted for all but 11 o f
the Ducks’ points as they held o ff
the Demon Deacons (21 -13) in a
thrilling, end-to-end game with
little defense but plenty o f fire
works.
“ We all expect this out o f
each one o f us,” Jones said af

played in 30 or 31 other games —

Prosser, who said his team lost
one o f its more satisfying games,
compared O regon’s trio to the
high-flying NBA team that usu
ally holds court at Sacramento’s
Arco Arena.
“T h o se th ree kids — we
couldn’t find a way to even slow
them down, much less stop them,”
Prosser said. “Today, they prob
ably could have played for the
Kings.”
Wake Forest shot 55 percent
for most of the game and made 11 -
of-19 3-pointers, but its chances
evaporated when Craig Dawson,
who scored 20 points, left with a
dislocated shoulder with 7:45 to
play.
Fans in the decidedly pro-
Ducks crowd chanted, “Sweet
Sixteen!” in the final seconds.
