Rousey considered
suicide after loss
LOS ANGELES (AP)
— Ronda Rousey says she
had dark thoughts including
suicide after she lost her
bantamweight title to Holly
Holm in Australia last year,
her ¿ rst defeat since joining
UFC.
“Honestly, my thought
in the medical
FACES room, I was
sitting in the
corner and was
like, ‘What am
I anymore if
I’m not this?’”
Rousey said
Tuesday during
Rousey
an appearance
on “The Ellen DeGeneres
Show.” “Literally sitting
there thinking about killing
myself. In that exact second,
I’m like: ‘I’m nothing. What
do I do anymore?”
Rousey told DeGeneres
that her relationship with
UFC heavyweight Travis
Browne helped get her
through.
“I looked up and saw my
man, Travis, was standing
there,” Rousey said. “I’m
looking up at him and was
just like: ‘I need to have his
babies. I need to stay alive.’”

No matter. The

led the Bulldogs to a
79-58 win, getting the

in Columbia River
Conference play.
The score would say the Bulldogs
(11-11, 4-3 CRC) played well. Head
coach Dave Ego said otherwise.
“That’s as poor a defensive game
as we’ve had in the second half of the
season,” he said. “We didn’t defend
well. We lost assignments. We took bad
shots. I mean, we won by (21), but it
was an ugly game.”
Ego scoffed at the notion perhaps
his team was feeling a hangover after
an important and emotional win on
Friday in Pendleton.
“We don’t let ‘em do that,” he said.
“Why would they have a hangover
from Friday night? If you’re 18-1, you
might have a hangover. If you’re 11-11,
you can’t have hangovers.”
That poor defensive effort was clear
in the ¿ rst half. The Dalles (5-16, 2-5)
got open shot after open shot, and held
an eight-point lead in the ¿ rst quarter at
14-8 behind 6 of 10 shooting from the

HOOD RIVER — The Pend-
leton Buckaroos went into Tues-
day’s game against Hood River
simply wanting to play well after
Friday’s heartbreaking loss to rival
Hermiston.
When all 32 minutes had been
played and the ¿ nal horn sounded,
the Buckaroos did just what they
wanted, defeating Hood River
93-51 to remain two games up on
Hermiston in the CRC standings.
“It was a great team win and
every single guy contributed,” said
Pendleton assistant coach Mitch
Morioka. “The emphasis on this
game was to respond well from
Friday, and we kept the game in
complete control.”
Ten of the 12 players scored
for Pendleton (13-7, 6-1 CRC),
with ¿ ve players reaching double
¿ gures as well. Daniel Adams led
the team with 25 points, Caden
Smith had 19 points, and James
Bradt ¿ nished with 13 points.
Pendleton also had big games
from seniors Mekhi Foreman and
Devon Roe, as
Foreman ¿ nished
with 14 points and
Roe had 11 points.

“Mekhi did a
great job attacking
with the basket-
ball,” Morioka
said. “And Devon
was a monster

inside on the
boards. He set the
tone in there for
the team.”
Pendleton started the scoring
quick and furious in the ¿ rst
quarter, racing out to a 28-9 lead
as the ¿ rst quarter horn sounded.
Then after a little bit of a lull in
the second quarter, Pendleton
regrouped at halftime and came
out of the locker room and dropped
31 points to grab a 72-33 lead at
the end of the third quarter.
The Buckaroos can clinch the
CRC championship with a win
over The Dalles on Friday. Tip-off
is set for 7 p.m. in Pendleton.

THE DALLES — The Herm-
iston Bulldogs put together one of
their best all-around performances
on Tuesday night, controlling all
aspects of the game on their way
to a 62-22 win over The Dalles.
Hermiston (19-3, 7-0 CRC)
held The Dalles to a season-low
points total, as Bulldogs coach
Steve Hoffert said his defenses’
performance was ‘simply domi-
nant.’
“The last three games we’ve
done a great job with our offense
and defense,” Hoffert said. “On
offense we’ve distributed the ball
well and scored on lots of open
shots, and we’ve dominated on the
defensive end, and that continued
tonight.”
The most impressive defensive
task by the Bulldogs was holding
The Dalles scoreless for more than
13 minutes of game time spanning
the ¿ rst and second quarters,
“We just shut
them down.
The Dalles had
no good looks,
and couldn’t get
anything going. It
was impressive to
watch.”

“We just shut them down,” he
said. “The Dalles had no good

lone double-digit scorer in the
game, as she put together a game-
