Heisman Trophy winner
DeVonta Smith of Alabama
added to his collection of
postseason honors Thursday
night, receiving the Maxwell

Smith also won the Walter

the Biletnikoff Award as the
nation’s top receiver.
Four other Alabama play-

Smith became the first wide
receiver to win the Maxwell

Howard in 1991.
The 6-foot-1, 175-pound
Smith leads the nation with
105 receptions and 20 touch-
down catches. The Associated
Press player of the year has
1,641 yards receiving.
Other awards handed out

Award. He threw 36 touch-
down passes and four inter-

his attempts.

who scored an FBS-leading 24
rushing touchdowns, won the
Doak Walker Award as the
top running back.
• Offensive lineman Alex
Leatherwood became the
sixth Alabama player to win
the Outland Trophy as the
outstanding interior lineman.
• Landon Dickerson of
Alabama won the Rimington
Trophy as the top center.
• Tulsa linebacker Zaven
Collins, the only player in the
country with four intercep-
tions and four sacks, won the
Chuck Bednarik Award as the
top defensive player.
• Free safety Trevon Moeh-
rig, who had two interceptions
and broke up nine passes, be-
came the first TCU player to
win the Jim Thorpe Award as
the top defensive back.
• Florida’s Kyle Pitts won
the John Mackey Award as the
top player at his position.
• Miami’s Jose Borregales
won the Lou Groza Award as
the top kicker.
• Pressley Harvin III of

Guy Award as the top punter
after averaging an ACC-re-

Wright leads Colorado to 79-72 win over No. 17 Oregon
Colorado missed its first
nine 3-pointers before Mad-
dox Daniels finally hit one with
5:29 remaining in the first half.
The Buffaloes finished 7 of 26
from 3-point range. They en-
tered with the highest 3-point
field goal percentage in the
league.
BY PAT GRAHAM
Associated Press
BOULDER, Colo. —
McKinley Wright IV recovered
from a scary fall to score 21
points, including a game-seal-
ing scoop layup with 27 sec-
onds left, and Colorado held
off No. 17 Oregon for a 79-72
win on Thursday.
Grad transfer Jeriah Horne
added 17 points for the Buf-
faloes (8-3, 2-2 Pac-12), who
improved to 10-0 against the
Ducks (8-2, 3-1) all-time in
Boulder.
Wright was fouled driving to
the basket late in the first half,
slid out of bounds and banged
his neck on a courtside chair.
He pounded the floor in pain
before joining the team on the
bench and returning to the
floor. Struggling before the fall,
Wright caught fire after it —
scoring all of his points.
The senior point guard also
had five assists to move five
away from breaking the school
record of 562 assists held by Jay
Humphries (1980-84). Wright
also grabbed a season-high 10
rebounds.
Colorado guard McKinley Wright IV, left, drives to the basket as Ore-
gon forward Eric Williams Jr. defends on Thursday in Boulder, Colorado.
Wright scored 21 points in the Buffaloes’ victory over the Ducks.
Big picture
Oregon: The Ducks had
a plus-7.5 rebound margin
this season. They were outre-
bounded by Colorado 40-28.
Colorado: Under Boyle, the
Buffs have proven tough to
beat at home. They’re 144-27
at CU Events Center since he
took over in 2010.
Chris Duarte, the reign-
ing Pac-12 player of the week,
scored 27 points for an Oregon
team that saw its eight-game
win streak halted. Eugene
Omoruyi added 18 points.
The Buffaloes led 71-61 with
2:26 remaining when Oregon
made a late surge. The Ducks
trimmed it to four on Duarte’s
3-pointer with 1:37 left. But Eli
Parquet drove to the hoop and
Up next
Oregon: The Ducks’ game at
Utah was moved up from Sun-
day to Saturday.
Colorado: The Buffaloes
were scheduled to play Oregon
State on Saturday, but it was
postponed due to COVID-19
protocols within the Beavers
program. Colorado will now
face Utah in Salt Lake City on
Monday.
David Zalubowski/AP
Chandler Lawson was called
for goaltending to restore some
breathing room. Wright then
sealed it with his layup.
Colorado coach Tad Boyle’s
teams are renowned for knock-
ing off ranked opponents. Un-
der Boyle, they’re 20-34 against
teams appearing in the polls.
That accounts for 31% of the
program’s victories over ranked
teams since 1949-50.
COLLEGE BASKETBALL | OREGON STATE
Beavs struggling to return from COVID-19 issues
BY NICK DASCHEL
The Oregonian
Oregon State women’s bas-
ketball hasn’t had a game or
practice since Dec. 20, when it
had to pause the program due
to a COVID-19 outbreak.
The Beaver men went to
the sideline on Tuesday for the
same reason, with no return
date in sight.
At what point does Oregon
State basketball say, we fought
the good fight, but basketball
is finished for the 2020-21 sea-
son?
In short, not yet.
OSU athletic director Scott
Barnes said Thursday the
athletes will drive that deci-
sion, if it ever comes to that. It
wouldn’t be an unprecedented
move. Duke women ended
its 2020-21 season after four
games due to COVID-19. The
Ivy League canceled all winter
sports, including basketball. “If
there’s ever a point where (play-
ing) is not something that they
want to do, then we’ll certainly
listen to that,” Barnes said.
Barnes is regularly in com-
munication with coaches and
player leaders. He said there is a
student-athlete advisory meet-
ing next Monday, and “we’ll be
taking the temperature and see-
ing how they’re feeling.”
There are financial implica-
tions to canceling a basketball
season, particularly in men.
Teams must play at least 15
games to qualify for a slice of
the Pac-12’s NCAA tourna-
ment revenue. To date, Oregon
State men have played nine
games, the women six.
Pac-12 men share regu-
lar-season television revenue,
based on the number of games
each team plays. If Oregon
State has to cancel some games
or the rest of its season, its share
of the regular season television
revenue pool would shrink
based on the number of games
the Beavers played.
There is virtually no regular
season television revenue in
women’s basketball. They play
most games on the Pac-12 Net-
work for exposure.
As for making up all OSU
games that are postponed,
Barnes said it is more likely for
the men than women because
of scheduling flexibility. The
men have fewer conference
games — 22 vs. 20 — and an
additional week of the season.
Oregon State already has
had five Pac-12 women’s games
postponed in Washington,
UCLA, USC, California and
Stanford. Barnes said he doesn’t
foresee the Beavers successfully
rescheduling all five games, but
perhaps one or two. It’s also
possible more postponements
are on the horizon.
The men have four post-
poned games in USC, Stanford,
Utah and Colorado. Barnes be-
lieves there’s a good chance of
rescheduling those games, but
again, more postponements are
possible.
Basketball is proving to be
tougher to pull off than foot-
ball on the COVID-19 front.
It’s an indoor sport where the
virus can linger, as well as bas-
ketball’s roster size, which is 15
vs. football with more than 100
players.
“As we’ve learned, one pos-
itive based on contact tracing
can put the whole team out,”
Barnes said. “It certainly is
more challenging.”
