SPORTS BRIEFING OLYMPICS Survey shows many Japanese believe Tokyo Games should be canceled or postponed — More than 80% of people in Japan who were surveyed in two polls in the last few days say the Tokyo Olympics should be canceled or post- poned, or say they believe the Olympics will not take place. The polls were conducted by the Japanese news agency Kyodo and TBS — the Tokyo Broadcasting System. The results are bad news for Tokyo organizers and the International Olympic Committee as they continue to say the postponed Olympics will open on July 23. Tokyo is battling a surge of COVID-19 cases that prompted the national government last week to call a state of emergency. In declaring the emergency, Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga said he was confident the Olympics would be held. Japan has controlled the virus relatively well but the surge has heightened skepticism about the need for the Olympics and the danger of potentially bringing 15,000 Olympic and Paralympic athletes into the country.

WOMEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL FOOTBALL No. 25 WSU earns 1st ranking in AP Top 25 Eagles fire Pederson — The Philadelphia Eagles have fired BY DOUG FEINBERG AP Basketball Writer coach Doug Pederson, less than three years after he led them to the franchise’s only Super Bowl title. Pederson was 42-37-1 in five seasons. He led the Eagles to two division titles and three playoff appearances before going 4-11-1 in 2020. Peder- son met with owner Jeffrey Lurie last week and again Mon- day. Pederson’s loyalty to his coaching staff and frustration with the front office’s interference was a major issue, accord- ing to a person familiar with the decision. The person said Pederson and general manager Howie Roseman weren’t on the same page regarding many personnel moves. Ultimately, Lurie chose Roseman over Pederson. Pederson benched Car- son Wentz for the final four games after the quarterback had the worst season of his career and started rookie Jalen Hurts. BASKETBALL Oregon State, Oregon women’s games at ASU post- poned — The women’s basketball program at Oregon State is back to full practice sessions after nearly three weeks of pause due to COVID-19 testing and contact tracing protocol. Play- ing games, however, must wait. The Beavers’ upcoming oppo- nent, Arizona State, continues to have its program on pause due to a COVID-19 outbreak. The OSU-Arizona State game on Friday in Tempe is postponed. It is Oregon State’s sixth consecutive game that has been postponed. Oregon State’s next game is 1 p.m. Sunday against Arizona in Tucson. The Oregon women’s basketball team’s game in Tempe this Sun- day has also been postponed. No. 10 Oregon will face No. 11 Arizona on Thursday at 4 p.m. in Tucson. The game will be nationally televised on ESPN. NBA calls off 2 more games over virus-related concerns — The NBA called off two more games because of COVID-re- lated and contact tracing issues on Monday, and a person with knowledge of the situation said the Miami Heat were preparing to be without “at least five” players for the next several days be- cause of possible exposure to the coronavirus. Monday’s game in Dallas between the Mavericks and the New Orleans Pelicans was postponed by the league, as well as Tuesday’s matchup in Chicago between the Bulls and the Boston Celtics. The league’s general managers were meeting Monday to discuss the league’s current virus situation, with involvement from the National Basketball Players Association. The NBA’s board of governors will meet Tuesday on the topic. The latest postponements come one day after Miami’s game in Boston was called off because of contact-tracing issues within the Heat. —Bulletin wire reports MEGABUCKS The numbers drawn Monday night are: 23 26 31 38 43 48 Oregon Lottery results The estimated jackpot is now $7 million. As listed at www.oregonlottery.org and individual lottery websites Kamie Ethridge was sur- prised to hear that Washington State had never been ranked before. Now the Cougars coach can add that to the team’s list of ac- complishments: They entered The Associated Press women’s college basketball poll at No. 25 on Monday. “I honestly didn’t know we’d never been ranked,” Ethridge said. “I heard a lot about the lows we’ve experienced and talked to our team about the fact we have no banners. We have one NCAA Tournament appearance in the history of the NCAAs. A big part of our recruiting players was about hanging the first banner and being a first. How exciting it is to be on the way up.” The ranking comes a day after Washington State beat then-No. 7 Arizona 71-69 in overtime on a buzzer-beating layup by freshman Charlisse Leger-Walker. Washington State (7-1) has won five of its first six Pac-12 games for the first time since the 2013-14 season. “We’re enjoying the process Bama Continued from A5 Whether Fields was 100% after taking a brutal hit to the side during his brilliant semifi- nal performance against Clem- son was hard to know for sure. On the Buckeyes’ first drive, they lost star running back Trey Sermon to an injury and in a game they needed to be run- ning at top speed, facing one of great offenses in recent history, they sputtered too much. Ohio State has never allowed more points in a bowl game. Fans can debate which team in the Saban dynasty is best, but none will be more memo- rable than this group. The Tide right now,” said Ethridge, who took over the program in 2018. “The team has had a lot of firsts and this is another one of those. We’ll celebrate and acknowl- edge and enjoy the feeling.” While Washington State was enjoying its first ranking, Stan- ford tightened its grip on the No. 1 spot in the poll. The Car- dinal received 29 of the 30 first- place votes from a national me- dia panel. They were followed by Louisville, North Carolina State, UConn and South Caro- lina. The Wolfpack received the other No. 1 vote. Not much was expected from the Cougars this season, who were picked last in the Pac-12 preseason polls by the media and coaches. “The team grabbed hold of being picked 12th and carried that with a big fat chip on their shoulder,” Ethridge said. “They don’t verbalize a lot. ... They have a lot of pride about what they can do with this program.” They’ve definitely opened some eyes with two victo- ries over Top 25 teams after also beating Oregon State last month. It’s the first time since the 2014-15 season that they have two wins over ranked op- ponents. The lone loss came by four points to Oregon. Ethridge hopes to guide the team to its first NCAA Tourna- ment appearance since 1991. The schedule doesn’t get easier for the Cougars, with four straight road games, start- ing with a trip to Los Angeles this weekend to face USC and No. 8 UCLA. The Cougars don’t return home until Jan. 27 when they have back-to-back games against No. 1 Stanford. The Cardinal continued their winning ways this week, beat- ing then-No. 11 Oregon. The Ducks moved up one spot to 10th. No. 6 Baylor, Texas A&M, UCLA and Maryland round out the other teams in the top 10. Fresh off a victory over then-No. 13 Arkansas, Tennes- see earned its first ranking of the season, coming in at No. 23. Missouri State and Michigan State fell out of the poll. finished perfect during a sea- son that could not have been further from it as COVID-19 forced teams into quarantines and endless testing and uncer- tainty every single week with games played in mostly empty stadiums. Only about 15,000 fans were at Hard Rock Stadium, capacity 65,326, to see the last magnif- icent performance of Smith’s college career. The Heisman Trophy winner had 12 catches for 215 yards and three touchdowns, all in the first half as the Crimson Tide bolted out to a 35-17 lead. Using an array of motions and misdirections, outgoing offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian had Ohio State heads spinning trying to track down Smith. Sometimes it was simpler than that. On Smith’s third touchdown, he lined up in the slot, the closest to the line of three receivers on the left side. Smith cut quickly to the mid- dle of the field and suddenly was matched up against a line- backer, whom he left in the dust for a 42-yard score with 41 sec- onds left in the second quarter. Smith, who finished his freshman season by catching the 2017 national champion- ship winning touchdown pass from Tua Tagovailoa, ended his Alabama career as the leading career receiver in Southeast- ern Conference history. He was the offensive player of Monday night’s game. As for Sarkisian, he is on his way to Texas as the head coach. Longhorns fans had to have liked what they saw from their new playcaller. If only he could bring Smith and his fellow Heisman contenders to Austin. Jones, who finished third in the Heisman voting, was 36 for 45 for a CFP championship-re- cord 464 yards and five touch- downs, operating behind a line that had him rarely feeling rushed. Harris had 158 yards from scrimmage on 29 touches, scoring three times to give him an SEC record 30 touchdowns this season. Collin Andrew/AP Washington State head coach Kamie Ethridge has led the Cougars to their first ever ranking in The Associated Press women’s college basket- ball poll, entering at No. 25 on Monday.
