BEND
47,
PEND-
LETON 38 — At Bend,
the Lava Bears brought a
physical style of play the
Buckaroos were just unable
to match in Wednesday’s
game in the Summit Holiday
Tournament.
Pendleton led 19-15 at
halftime, but was outscored
19-4 in the third quarter and
never recovered.
“(Bend) played pretty
physical and the kind of took
us out of what we wanted to
do, and we’ve got to learn
from that,” said first-year
Pendleton coach Kevin
Porter. “It’s still preseason
and we’re still learning, but
the girls’ attitudes are great
and we just need to find
ourselves again.”
After winning their first
three the Bucks (3-2) have
lost their last two, but Kalan
McGlothan remained consis-
tent with her fifth straight
double-double with 11 points
and 11 rebounds.
Haley Greb added 10
points for Pendleton.
Tayla Wheeler and Kayla
Rambo each scored 11 to
pace Bend (5-2).
Pendleton will continue
tournament play today
against Marist at 4 p.m.

and also had four steals, and

OREGON: Hot-handed Pritchard was supposed to take last shot
Continued from 1B
for my team.”
Payton Pritchard added
15 points and nine assists
for the Ducks (12-2, 1-0),
who won their 10th consec-
utive game and pushed the
nation’s second-longest home
winning streak to 34 games.
Pritchard’s 3-pointer pulled
Oregon within one with 12.9
seconds left to set the stage
for Brooks’ shot.
Brooks said Oregon
coach Dana Altman called
“pop” for the final shot and
the ball was supposed to find
the hot-handed Pritchard,
who hit three of Oregon’s 11
3-pointers. Instead, Brooks
used a screen by Jordan Bell to
squeeze off the game-winner.
“We had an option to get to
the basket or shoot it,” Altman
said, “and (Brooks) felt like
he liked the shot and he was
right. Who am I to argue?
“Dillon likes those big
moments and hit or miss,
he’s willing to take the conse-
quences for it.”
That
included
being
swarmed by Bell and his
teammates at the other end of
the court before the officials
could clear the court for a final
possession by UCLA, which
didn’t come close with its shot.
“I was running away
from it,” Brooks said of the
celebration, “but Jordan just
tackled me.”
Thomas Welch had 20
points and 10 rebounds for
the Bruins (13-1, 0-1), and
Alford had 20 points. Lonzo
Ball added 14 points and TJ
Leaf had 13.
UCLA was trying to match
its best start to a season in 10
years, but Alford missed the
front end of a 1-and-1. Alford
was shooting a team-best 87.0
percent at the free throw line
this season.
“That’s who we want at
the line,” UCLA coach Steve
Alford said of his son. “More
times than not he makes shots
to get us back in it and that’s
the guy we want at the free
throw line.”
The Bruins came in as the
nation’s best shooting team
and fourth-best beyond the arc,
and they nearly hit those marks
by going 34 of 64 overall (53.1
percent) and 11 of 25 (44.0
percent) on 3-pointers.
However, UCLA also had
14 turnovers against 19 assists
and lost the rebounding battle
37-35.
The Bruins used a 15-0 run
sparked by three straight 3s
by Ball midway through the
second half to take a 72-65
lead. UCLA was up by eight
with 4 minutes to play before
Pritchard sparked Oregon’s
final rally with seven points.
“Credit to them,” Bryce
Alford said. “First and
foremost they made big-time
plays (and) hit some really
tough shots.
“Their last two 3s were
highly contested, fadeaway
3s, so they made big-time
plays but we have to be much
better on the defensive end.”
Oregon beat the Bruins at
their own game in the first
half, pushing a 100-point pace
with 11 assists on its first 14
field goals and shooting 7 of
14 from 3-point range.
The Ducks also held
Leaf, UCLA’s leading scorer,
without a shot for the first
11 1/2 minutes. A 16-5 run
had Oregon up by 12 late in
the half before UCLA closed
with a 10-3 burst to trail at the
break for only the second time
this season.
BIG PICTURE
UCLA missed a chance
to grab an early edge in
the Pac-12 race by failing
to knock off the defending
champs on their own court.
Oregon finally found the
spark it was missing during
nonconference play with the
stunning upset against the high-
est-ranked opponent to play in
Eugene during Altman’s seven
seasons as coach.
POLL IMPLICATIONS
Letting Oregon escape at
the buzzer will cost UCLA a
few spots in the rankings after
the Bruins went through the
nonconference season perfect
for the first time since 1995.
Oregon likely will jump
back up in the rankings if it
takes care of business against
No. 22 USC. The Ducks
reached an all-time high of
No. 4 early in the season
before tumbling as far as 24th
after two early losses.
STAT OF THE NIGHT:
Oregon leads the nation with
108 blocked shots but finished
with one to six for the Bruins.
ON A ROLL: The sellout
crowd of 12,364, including
Nike co-founder Phil Knight,
made an impression on
UCLA senior Bryce Alford,
who was part of a big upset of
then-No. 1 Kentucky at Rupp
Arena earlier this season.
“There’s a reason they don’t
lose here,” Alford said of
the Ducks’ 34-game home
winning streak. “They’re a
big-time basketball team and
it’s a big-time atmosphere.”
HE SAID IT: Always
the cautious one even after
a victory, Altman said he
still considers the Bruins the
favorite to win the Pac-12.
“We won a home game by two
points, and you’re supposed
to win at home,” he said.
“With their explosiveness,
they’re still the team to beat.
They’re still a level above us
right now.”
ALSO IN THE HOUSE:
Representatives from 11
NBA
teams,
including
the defending champion
Cleveland Cavaliers and
2015 champion Golden State
Warriors, were in attendance
Wednesday night.
UP NEXT
UCLA will go for the road
split to open Pac-12 play at
Oregon State on Friday night.
Oregon faces another
unbeaten team when it hosts
No. 22 USC on Friday night.
BLAZERS: Stotts responds to George Karl’s comments about Lillard
Continued from 1B
14 rebounds.
The teams last met on Dec.
20, a 126-121 Sacramento
victory that was marked by
drama — namely an ejec-
tion reversal — involving
Cousins.
Cousins scored 55 points
in the win. But with less than
2 minutes remaining, he was
celebrating a foul call on
his go-ahead basket and he
appeared to spit his mouth-
piece at the Blazers’ bench.
Cousins was hit with a
technical, his second, and
headed off to the locker
room. But moments later he
was called back when the
officiating crew reversed the
call. He sank the free throw
and later in a postgame TV
interview called the whole
drama “ridiculous.”
That victory touched
off the Kings’ four-game
winning streak.
Cousins hit the first basket
of the game on Wednesday
night. But the Blazers
jumped out to a 20-12 lead
on Harkless’ dunk.
Portland went on to lead
by as many as 17 points in
the first half, taking a 60-44
lead into the break. Allen
Crabbe, who replaced Lillard
Hermiston at The Clash XV (at Rochester,
MN), 9 a.m.

POSTPONEMENTS AND CANCELLATIONS
Sisters Tournament
Crook County vs. North Marion, ccd.
in the starting lineup, led all
players with 13 points.
Cousins, booed whenever
he touched the ball, led the
team at the half with eight
points, but he had also
collected three fouls.
McCollum hit a 3-pointer
that pushed Portland’s lead
to 67-47. Cousins made a
3-pointer, his first of the
game, that pulled the Kings
to 73-61, then made another
that narrowed it to 77-69
early in the fourth quarter.
TIP-INS
Kings: Sacramento was
without Rudy Gay because of a
right hip flexor strain. Gay had
played Monday in the 102-100
victory over the 76ers.
Trail Blazers: Longtime
NBA coach George Karl
caused a bit of a stir in
Portland with comments he
made to New York Magazine
about Damian Lillard. “I was
watching the Portland Trail
Blazers play, and I was trying
to figure out what the hell is
wrong with this team?” Karl
asked. “My conclusion is
that Damian Lillard is getting
too much attention.” Blazers
coach Terry Stotts, asked to
respond before the game,
said: “When it comes to my
team and my players, he
needs to stay in his own lane.”
