SPORTS BUCKAROOS: PHS dominates bench points 22-0 Page 2B East Oregonian Continued from 1B our defense tonight. He just wanted us to work good on the defensive end and communicate, and I think we did that.” First-year Pendleton coach Kyle Tedder said he wasn’t too happy with the 21 points the Bucks allowed in the third quarter, but he had no complaints with the effort put forth on the defensive end. “That third quarter was a little bit of a letdown,” he said. “We gave up 21 points after giving up 14 in the ¿rst half so we would like to shore that up a little bit. “But overall, the effort was there. We pressed them early and trapped them early and kind of pulled back on that midway through the third, but overall the effort was really what I wanted to see and taking pride in every possession.” Smith, who led Pend- leton with 25 points on 9-of-14 shooting (64.3 percent), said the emphasis this season has been letting the defense drive the offense, which also was clicking for th Bucks on Thursday. Pendleton shot 47 percent from the ¿eld and turned the ball over just nine times to The Dalles’ 1. Even their bench players made beating the Riverhawks look easy as Pendleton’s subs outscored The Dalles’ 22-0 led by 10 from Johnny Stuvland. “It’s great seeing all the guys come off the bench and I love watching them play,” Adams said. “We expect the same out of them as we do with (the starters),” Smith said.

The lone bright spot for The Dalles was the game- high 2 points poured in by Dakota Murr, although most of them came when the game was already out of hand. Of his 12 fourth- quarter points, nine came at the free throw line. Pendleton took the court for warm-ups in pink T-Shirts printed with the hashtag #YoungmanOn- Ellen to support the social media campaign to get PHS teacher Kathryn Youngman on “The Ellen Degeneres Show” as she battles cancer for the third time. “I had her for Spanish last year. She’s a great teacher,” Adams said. “I think it means a lot to the community because it’s a big thing right now. Every- one’s trying to do what they can to get her on.” “Just going out there and playing our hearts out for her. It’s all a great cause,” Smith said. “Last year I had her for Spanish too, she’s a really nice lady. For sure, we’ll always be thinking about her.” The win was Pendleton’s ¿fth in a row and eighth in their last 10 outings, and combined with Hermiston’s head-scratching 5-73 loss at Hood River on Thursday gave the Bucks sole posses- sion of ¿rst place in the CRC. Hood River entered the game with one win on the season. Pendleton’s next game comes on Tuesday at the wounded Bulldogs’ house, and Tedder said he’ll make sure the team treats the meeting with the proper gravitas. “Tuesday night we’ve got a big game over at Hermiston and can’t take a possession off — and we won’t,” he said. “It’s like I stress to them, you have to beat teams three times if you want to win this league and it starts now. You can’t have a lapse, you can’t take a night off, you can’t take a possession off, you can’t take a practice off.” Pendleton and Herm- iston will have an early tip-off at 5:45 p.m. at The Dawghouse. ——— TD (3-13, 0-2) 8 6 21 13 — 48 PHS (9-6, 2-0) 23 15 29 16 — 83 THE DALLES — D.

DUCKS: Outscored Wildcats 19-11 down the stretch Continued from 1B Arizona 90-56 last season. “Our program, we’ve been chasing Arizona, and we still are. This is the program that’s setting the standard right now in the Pac-12. It’s not even debatable.” The Ducks outscored Arizona 19-11 over the ¿nal 6 ½ minutes. “These last two games, we haven’t lived up to the standards that is held here at Arizona,” said Anderson, whose team was coming off a loss at Cal, “especially effort-wise and paying attention to detail.” The Wildcats committed 19 turnovers to Oregon’s six. “We got 21 more shots because of the turnovers,” Altman said, “so our activity through the traps caused them some problems.” Arizona coach Sean Miller praised the Ducks effort. “They are a hard-playing unit, together as a team,” he said, “and they love each other. You can tell they care a lot about their university and they care a lot about their program. You can kind of feel that they’re playing for a cause and that cause is to win.” Arizona’s Parker-Jackson (AP Photo/Rick Scuteri) Oregon guard Tyler Dorsey drives past Arizona for- ward Mark Tollefsen (23) during the irst half of Thurs- day’s game in Tucson, Ariz. Cartwright sank a 3-pointer from the baseline to tie it at 64-64 with 7:25 to play, but the Ducks scored the next eight points. Benjamin was fouled on a 3-point try and made all three free throws, then Brooks sank his second 3-pointer and Oregon led 72-64 with 4:47 to play. The Wildcats led the entire ¿rst half. They made their ¿rst eight shots to bolt to an 1-7 lead and were up 26-13 after Parker Jackson-Cartwright sank a 3-pointer with 11:24 left in the half. After watching the Wildcats make 10 of their ¿rst 11 shots, Altman had seen enough of his team’s man-to-man defense and switched to a trapping zone. And the Ducks climbed back in it. Kaleb Tarczewski’s two free throws put Arizona up 42-36 1:25 before the break. But Benson followed with a 3-pointer to make it 42-39 1:02 left . After the teams exchanged possessions, Oregon had an out-of-bounds play with 2.1 seconds left and Dorsey broke free for a layup at the buzzer to cut Arizona’s lead to 42-41 at the break. It was the only time the teams will play in the regular season. “The program history speaks for itself,” Miller said, “and McKale is just an amazing place. Nothing about that atmosphere was a part of our game tonight.” TIP-INS Oregon: The Ducks were coming off a home sweep of USC and UCLA and a win at Utah. ... The victory guaranteed Altman his 19th consecutive winning season. BEAVERS: OSU scores Season low 17 points in second half Continued from 1B (AP Photo/Matt York) Oregon State’s Malcolm Duvivier (11) shoots over Ar- izona State’s Gerry Blakes during the irst half of an NCAA college basketball game, Thursday, Jan. 28, 2016, in Tempe, Ariz. The Beavers dropped their ifth game in six tries on Thursday night, ¿nished with points, assists and 6 rebounds. Oregon State (12-7, 3-5), has lost four of its last ¿ve games. Gary Payton II, the Beavers’ do-everything guard who came in as the only player in the top 10 of the Pac-12 in scoring, rebounds, assists and steals, was held to 2 points and didn’t score until midway through the second half. Stephen Thompson Jr. led the Beavers with 14 points. The Beavers didn’t score for more than 5 minutes of the ¿rst half, committing four turnovers during that stretch. The Sun Devils used that time to go on a 12-0 run and go up 20-5 with 11:49 left, at which time Langston Morris-Walker ended the OSU drought with a free throw. Oleka’s 3-pointer with 6 minutes left made it 30-9 for the Sun Devils as the Beavers’ woes continued. Oregon State ¿nally got to double ¿gures at the 5:09 mark, on a 3 from Malcolm Duvivier. Arizona State led 36-17 at halftime, the fewest points it has allowed in a ¿rst half this season. The Beavers’ 17 points was a season low for a half with Payton held scoreless on only three shots. OSU made only 5 of 26 shots in the ¿rst 20 minutes. TIP-INS OREGON STATE: Though he came up well short Thursday, Payton has as many 20-point games this season, six, as he had all of last season. . The Beavers made just 9 of 20 free throws for the game. A GOLDEN DISTRAC- TION U.S. Olympic swimming star Michael Phelps appeared from behind the ASU student section’s infamous “Curtain of Distraction,” gold medals around his neck and swim cap on his head, with 13:47 left to play. With Phelps, who is working as an assistant swim coach at ASU this year, Àashing nothing but a swimsuit and six-pack abs between two shirtless students, Oregon State’s Thompson Jr. missed both foul shots. Friday, January 29, 2016 HERMISTON Bulldogs upset by Eagles East Oregonian HOOD RIVER — The Hermiston Bulldogs 2015- 2016 season has been ¿lled with ups and downs throughout, and Thursday night was another one of those downs. The Bulldogs (-9, 1-1 CRC) were upset on the road by the Hood River Eagles 5-73. It was only the second game the Eagles (2-12, 1-1) have won this season, with its only other win coming back on Dec. 5 against Columbia, White Salmon. Boys Hoops Hermiston Hood River 73 85 It was a big step back for Hermiston, who had defeated The Dalles 7-44 to open CRC play last Friday where everything seemed to be clicking. No other details were reported. Hermiston will look to regroup over the next few days before hosting the ¿rst place Pendleton Buckaroos on Tuesday night. All-Star reserves named By BRIAN MAHONEY Associated Press NEW YORK — Dray- mond Green and Klay Thompson were picked Thursday for the Western Conference team, giving the NBA champion Golden State Warriors three All-Stars for the ¿rst time in 40 years. Sacramento’s DeMarcus Cousins, Houston’s James Harden, San Antonio’s LaMarcus Aldridge, the Clippers’ Chris Paul and New Orleans’ Anthony Davis were also chosen for the West squad for the Feb. 14 game in Toronto. The Raptors’ DeMar DeRozan will represent the home team and is joined by fellow East reserves Chicago’s Jimmy Butler, Detroit’s Andre Drummond, Miami’s Chris Bosh, Washington’s John Wall, Atlanta’s Paul Millsap and Boston’s Isaiah Thomas. The reserves were selected by the head coaches in each conference, who had to vote for seven players: two guards, three frontcourt players and two additional players at any position. They were not allowed to vote for players from their own team. They made Green a ¿rst- time selection and picked Thompson for the second year in a row. With MVP Stephen Curry voted a starter by fans, the Warriors have three All-Stars for the ¿rst time since Rick Barry, Phil Smith and Jamaal Wilkes in 1976.
