UConn pulls away late
to knock off Oregon
PORTLAND (AP) — No. 1 Duke
pulled away for a 99-81 victory over
the surprisingly tenacious Vikings
on Thursday to open the Phil Knight
Invitational.
Duke trailed by as many as eight
points but took control midway
through the second half when
Wendell Carter Jr.’s dunk put the
Blue Devils in front 67-62. They
would go on to lead by as many as
21 points.
It was coach Mike Krzyzewski’s
200th victory as coach of a No.
1-ranked team. He’s 200-29 when
the Blue Devils sit atop the poll.
Deontae North led the Vikings
(4-1) with 24 points, including 20
in the first half, but fouled out with
8:39 left in the game.
It was the first time in program
history that the Vikings had faced
a top-ranked team. Portland State’s
last win over a ranked opponent was
an 86-82 victory over then-No. 25
Portland in December 2009.
Portland State was coming off
an 83-79 victory over Utah State at
the Memorial Coliseum on Monday.
The Vikings are playing the first
season under coach Barret Peery.
The five-time NCAA champion
Blue Devils were coming off a 92-63
victory over Furman on Monday
night, and the Blue Devils (6-0)

game between Butler and Texas.

DAWGS: Playing for second state title in program history
North Carolina
defeats Portland
102-78
Continued from 1B
PORTLAND (AP) — No. 9
North Carolina had five players in
double figures in overwhelming
Portland 102-78 on Thursday to
open the PK80 Invitational.
The Tar Heels (4-0) continued
their offensive outburst to open the
season, topping the century mark for
the first time this season against the
Pilots from the West Coast Confer-
ence.
Franklin Porter led the Pilots
with 19 points and Marcus Shaver
Jr. added 17, but the Pilots shot just
40 percent and lacked the offensive
spark to keep up with the Tar Heels.
The Pilots (2-2) hung around
through most of the first half before
a late run by the Tar Heels gave them
a 48-35 halftime lead. The Tar Heels
have scored at least 45 points in the
first half of every game this season.
North Carolina quickly turned the
game into the expected blowout in
the opening moments of the second
half, scoring the first 12 points of the
half and hitting nine straight shots
before finally missing.
It was a major upgrade in compe-
tition for the Pilots from anything
they had seen or may see this
season. Portland opened the season
with a five-point loss to crosstown
rival Portland State, then knocked
off a pair of NAIA schools — Walla
Walla and Oregon Tech — for its
first two victories.
good plays this season. However,
Blackburn’s success in the pocket
will be disrupted if Hermiston can
throw off the junior’s timing.
He hasn’t made many mistakes
this season but Blackburn has
thrown eight of Churchill’s 12
interceptions with four of the eight
coming in the postseason.
“We’re going to have to contain
an opponent passing offense game
and two really good running backs
on defense, and we’re going to
have to compete against one of
the tougher defensive fronts we’ve
seen in awhile,” Faaeteete said.
“We’ve got to take care of the
football, execute that game plan
and contain their offense.”
Hermiston’s semifinal appear-
ance highlighted what the defense
is capable of against a high-pow-
ered, streaking offense.
“It just showed us that stats
aren’t a big deal,” junior quarter-
back Andrew James said. “The
stars, whatever you want to say,
it’s not a big deal. It’s about you
against the other guy right in front
of you and who is going to be
who.”
In the semifinal game, Herm-
iston shined in the first half by
scoring more points than Wilson-
ville has allowed in an entire game
all season, and holding the Wild-
cats to a lone touchdown before
the break.

Hermiston’s Dayshawn Neal celebrates during the Bulldogs’ 35-
27 win over Wilsonville in the 5A semifinal on Saturday in Hill-
sboro.
James led the offensive efforts
and the Bulldogs had another
300-plus yard performance.
James, along with senior running
back Jonathan Hinkle, will be
essential in winning the first-down
battle on both sides of the ball,
something Faaeteete says is a key
to a victory.
“Hold them to negative yards
on first down or one or two and for
us (on offense) it’s capitalizing on
two to three to five yards on first
down and make our second down
series easier,” he said, “our third
down series easier and taking care
of the football.”
James has the third most passing
yards for any quarterback in Class
5A during the playoffs (603) and
has completed 36-of-60 passes in
the postseason. James has thrown
eight passing touchdowns to get to
the finals with help from seniors
Joey Gutierrez, who is good for
three, and Dayshawn Neal, who
has two touchdown receptions in
the postseason.
Although James’ arm is sharp,
and getting sharper, the running
game is where the Bulldogs
offense truly excels. James, a
true dual-threat quarterback has
racked up 217 of his 1,091 yards
in the three games leading up to
Saturday, and Hinkle continues
to dominate, 504 yards on just 49
carries in the postseason.
“It’s really just the guys around
me,” James said. “I do my part, I
work hard. I work hard at practice,
I worked hard all summer. But
these guys around me (their hard
work) shows ... you’ve got leaders
everywhere and when you have
that that’s how you win and that’s
what we’ve been doing.”
Kickoff is at 6 p.m. at Hillsboro
Stadium.
