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.

Pendleton’s Caden Smith shoots the ball over The
Dalles’ Colin Noonan in the Bucks’ 83-48 win against
the Riverhawks on Thursday in Pendleton.
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.

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.”

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

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.

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.
