BASKETBALL Oregon men’s basketball finishes outside AP top 25 — Oregon finished the regular season just outside the AP top 25. Despite winning 10 of their last 11 games to repeat as Pac- 12 regular season champs, the Ducks (19-5, 14-4 Pac-12) re- ceived 67 points and are 27th overall in the AP poll, up from 15 points and 32nd last week following wins over Arizona, UCLA and Oregon State. Colorado is No. 23 and USC is No. 24 in the AP poll. Oregon plays the winner of Arizona State and Washington State in the Pac-12 tournament quarterfinals on Thursday (11:30 a.m.) at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. BASEBALL Oregon State continues march up the rankings — The Beavers moved up to No. 16 in the USA Today Coaches Poll and the D1Baseball.com Top 25, and No. 17 in the Collegiate Baseball Top 30. They also debuted at No. 17 in the Baseball America Top 25 and No. 21 in the Perfect Game Top 25. The rise up the rankings is a fitting reward for a team riding a 10- game winning streak, the program’s longest since it won the first 10 games of the 2019 season. The Beavers (10-1) extended the streak in dramatic fashion on Saturday, using a walk-off single from Jacob Melton in the bottom of the ninth inning to beat the Cougars 4-3 and sweep the three-game series. Cubs, Sox to let some fans into stands as COVID num- bers fall — After a season of mostly empty ballparks in Chi- cago, the famed marquee at Wrigley Field said it all. “Wel- come home, Cubs fans,” it read. Thousands of masked fans of the Cubs and White Sox will get to see their teams play in person beginning on opening day, Mayor Lori Lightfoot an- nounced Monday. Each team will be limited to 20% capacity. MIXED MARTIAL ARTS Blachowicz, Nunes defend titles at UFC 259 — Jan Blachowicz defended his UFC light heavyweight title with a unanimous decision over the previously unbeaten Israel Ade- sanya at UFC 259 on Saturday night, thwarting the reigning middleweight champ’s bid to claim a second belt. Two-divi- sion champion Amanda Nunes defended her featherweight belt, beating Megan Anderson by submission 2:03 into the first round at the Apex gym on the UFC’s corporate campus. Aljamain Sterling won the bantamweight title when Petr Yan was disqualified for an illegal knee strike in the fourth round. — Bulletin wire reports MEGABUCKS The numbers drawn Monday night are: 8 13 22 28 38 39 Oregon Lottery results The estimated jackpot is now $2.9 million. As listed at www.oregonlottery.org and individual lottery websites Ryan Brennecke/Bulletin file photo Runners make their way along Galveston Avenue while competing in the 2019 Bend Marathon. The event was canceled in 2020, and has been canceled again in 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Marathon Continued from A5 The Bend Marathon course was to feature Bend parks, neighborhoods and the new paved trail through the De- schutes National Forest (paral- leling the Cascade Lakes High- way). King called it bad timing for the popular event. “Around the race time we may be in low risk category by then and able to have more people getting together,” King explained. “We’re just not in a position where we can really wait anymore. We’ve got to get going on something. So that was why we asked the council to weigh in and give us a deci- sion. We can’t just keep push- ing it out.” King said he had trouble un- derstanding why his event was not granted a special event per- mit, while other similar events “We’re just not in a position where we can really wait anymore. We’ve got to get going on something. So that was why we asked the council to weigh in and give us a decision. We can’t just keep pushing it out.” — Marathon co-organizer Max King have been allowed to take place in-person over the last year, including the Haulin’ Aspen marathon and half-marathon in Bend last August and the Happy Girls half-marathon in Sisters last November. Also, the the Salmon Run half-mara- thon, 10K and 5K is being held at Pronghorn Resort northeast of Bend on April 10. “We obviously don’t want to spread the disease, and that is what people are risk adverse to,” King said. “When we look at other things that are already happening in the community, such as Mt. Bachelor, restau- rants and retail being open, and the lack of spread in out- door events and the risk being really, really low, I don’t agree with where they’re coming from.” King and Strang were also planning to decrease aid sta- tions, require masks at the start and finish, and not allow spec- tators. “Washington has guide- lines for race-specific outdoor events like ours, that allow wave starts and a reason- able number of people,” King said. “That’s where we got our guidelines from. It’s hard when you’re looking at other things and you feel like there’s a dou- ble-standard. It makes it tough to say, ‘We won’t do this in the name of safety,’ when there are other things happening in the community.” The 2021 Bend Marathon will still offer a virtual option, as it did last year. Participants can run their distance wher- ever and however they want from April 12 to May 25, and then upload their finishing time to bend-marathon.com. “We want to hype it up and make it fun for people,” King said. “We don’t want it to be just an afterthought. We’ll do some fun events around the race time and some fun videos about training.” And for now, the plan is cer- tainly for an in-person Bend Marathon in 2022. “Hopefully we’ll be out of using risk categories by next spring,” King said, “and we won’t have to worry about maximum event size.” e e Reporter: 541-383-0318, mmorical@ bendbulletin.com
