SPORTS BRIEFING
FOOTBALL
UO inside LBs coach passes up head coaching gig to
remain with Ducks — Oregon inside linebackers coach
Ken Wilson is staying with the Ducks, passing on an oppor-
tunity to be head coach at Montana State. Wilson emerged as
a candidate at the FCS program on Friday but a source con-
firmed he is staying at UO. Fox’s Bruce Feldman first reported
Wilson was remaining at Oregon, where he’s coached inside
linebackers the past two seasons and is in the final year of his
contract. Wilson worked with new Oregon defensive coordi-
nator Tim DeRuyter previously while at Nevada.
WINTER SPORTS
Americans win women9s bobsled championship —
Kaillie Humphries made history Saturday. Humphries is the
world women’s bobsled champion for a record fourth time,
teaming with Lolo Jones to win the title on a snowy day in Al-
tenberg, Germany. Humphries and Jones finished their four
runs over two days in 3 minutes, 48.26 seconds. Germany
finished second, third and fourth. Jones is now a world cham-
pion in two different sports. She’s a two-time indoor women’s
hurdles champion.
Austrian men finish 1-2 at last World Cup skiing race
before championships — Vincent Kriechmayr extended
his lead in the season’s super-G standings on Saturday by
winning the last World Cup race before the world champion-
ships. Kriechmayr edged Matthias Mayer by 0.17 seconds for
an Austrian 1-2 finish in Garmisch Partenkirchen, Germany.
Swiss skier Marco Odermatt was 0.49 behind in third.
GOLF

Kyoung-Hoon Lee each shot 66 to get to 15 under. Justin
Thomas had a 64 to join Louis Oosthuizen (63) at 14 under.

Tom Brady is not unbeatable in the big game. In addition to twice beating the Rams and wins over the Panthers, Eagles
– and two gifts, from the Falcons and Seahawks – his Patriots fell twice to the Giants and once to Philadelphia. Poised in
the big moment beyond his years, Patrick Mahomes isn’t interested in history, just laser-focused on victory.

EUGENE — A matchup
with the worst defensive team
in the conference is what Ore-
gon, particularly while short-
handed, needed to put forth its
best 3-point shooting perfor-
mance of the season.
Eugene Omoruyi (25

Continued from B1
A full day of competition at
the half-dozen tuneups in Mel-
bourne was postponed because
of a positive test for a worker at
a hotel that housed 160 players
in January.
The draw for the Australian
Open was pushed back a day,
too.
Before the 24-hour break
was announced, Australian
player Nick Kyrgios captured a
common sentiment, tweeting:
“Am I playing tomorrow?”
“It was a bit of uncertainty,”
he said later. “I had no idea
what was going on.”
Those sorts of doubt could
linger at a major tournament
that already was pushed back
three weeks from its original
start date to allow for all of the
entrants and their entourages
to quarantine upon arrival on
the continent.
“From a tennis point of view,
you cannot prepare 100%,”
2019 U.S. Open runner-up
Daniil Medvedev said. “You try
three-pointers in an 86-74 rout
of Washington at Matthew
Knight Arena Saturday after-
noon.
The Ducks (10-4, 5-3 Pac-
12) earned a season sweep
of the Huskies (3-14, 2-10)
by dominating the glass (32-
20), good ball movement and
strong shooting from both the
paint (32-24) and behind the
arc (12 of 25).
It was a season-high in scor-
ing for Terry, who was 5 of 7
from the field, all from three.
The freshman made four
straight midway through the
second half to blow the game
open to a 20-point lead multi-
ple times.
Also Saturday:
Oregon St. 68, Washington
St. 66: CORVALLIS — Ethan
Thompson scored all 12 of his
points in the final 8:37 to help
Oregon State hang on for a win
over Washington State.
Thompson scored on a
driving layup with a minute
left and passed Dave Gam-
bee (1,468 points, 1955-58)
for 10th place in career points
at Oregon State. Jarod Lucas
added 12 points and Zach Re-
ichle had 11 for the Beavers
(10-7, 6-5 Pac-12).
to do what you can.”
Williams, a seven-time
champion in Melbourne, said
that the Achilles tendon issue
that hampered her last year
in a loss at the U.S. Open and
forced her to withdraw from
the French Open might have
prevented her from competing
at all in Australia if not for that
extra bit of rest.
Most participants were lim-
ited to leaving their hotels for
five hours of training per day.
More than 70 players were
banned from leaving their
rooms at all during that period
because they potentially were
exposed to the virus during the
chartered flights that carried
them from various spots in the
globe to Melbourne.
“Everyone experienced dif-
ferent challenges when it came
to that period,” three-time ma-
jor semifinalist Johanna Konta
said. “Some had it a lot more
difficult than others, that’s for
sure.”
The mental and physical
tolls of that kind of lockdown
certainly would be liable to af-
fect anyone, athlete or other-
wise.
“The players are just get-
ting thrown off-guard a lot. I
think it’s going to demand a lot
of patience and a lot of flexi-
bility and who is going to re-
ally adjust and adapt the best,”
said Chris Evert, whose 18
major championships include
the 1982 and 1984 Australian
Opens.
“Players are so used to rou-
tines. They like to be in con-
trol. They’re not in control,”
said Evert, now an ESPN an-
alyst. “I mean, even Djokovic,
who is like a control freak —
just, you’ve got to throw ev-
erything to the wind and wake
up every morning and just be
ready to go with whatever is
going to happen. It’s not easy.”
Because of that one positive
COVID-19 test, more than
500 people associated with the
Australian Open and its war-
mup tournaments were told
to isolate until they tested neg-
ative.
One day later, action re-
sumed.
Australian Open tourna-
ment director Craig Tiley
chalked it up as “just one of
those additional challenges”
and stated unequivocally: “We
are starting on Monday.”
“The players, from the feed-
back we’re getting from them
... have come to accept the
fact that now, with their travel
around the world, the environ-
ment’s different. And anything
can happen,” Tiley said. “Every
day you wake up, it can be dif-
ferent. And I think they have
gotten used to that.”
The plan is to let in 30,000
spectators per day, about 50%
of the usual crowds — and a
big departure from the last
Grand Slam tournament of
2020, the French Open, which
had about 1,000 fans per day,
and the U.S. Open, which did
not allow any.
“There’s no such thing as no
risk,” Tiley said, offering what
he called a paraphrasing of a
government official. “There’s
always going to be risk. And
the objective is to minimize
that as best as possible.”
