MOTOR SPORTS Flooding postpones NASCAR dirt race at Bristol — NA- SCAR has postponed its Cup Series dirt race at Bristol until 4 p.m. Monday, citing overnight heavy rainfall and local flood warnings, safety concerns and a menacing Sunday forecast at Bristol Motor Speedway. The historic Food City Dirt Race, an event that will mark the first time NASCAR’s Cup Series races on dirt in 51 years, was originally scheduled for 3:30 p.m. on FOX. The race will be delayed a day and and is scheduled to air on FOX, PRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio. The Truck Series race, the Pinty’s Truck Race on Dirt, will now take place before the Cup race on Monday at 12 p.m. That race will be broadcast on FS1, MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio. Scat- tered showers continued around the track Sunday afternoon. Images shared on social media Sunday morning showed sig- nificant rainfall around the half-mile speedway in Bristol, Tennessee. BASKETBALL Oregon State announcer attacked, left ‘a little sore’ but goes to work — Mike Parker was feeling a little sore Sunday morning, but not from overcelebrating Oregon State’s 65-58 win over Loyola of Chicago on Saturday. The Beavers’ veteran play-by-play radio voice said he was involved in an un- settling incident a few hours before Saturday’s game that left him with a torn shirt and abrasions to his elbow. Parker, who has been in Indianapolis for more than a week during Oregon State’s NCAA Tournament run, loves walking the city. On a walk Saturday, a man approached Parker and said, “I need to talk to you. … I need to know what’s in your bag.” The man continued to press. Eventually, Parker told him, “It’s none of your business, but it’s my work stuff,” then continued to walk. The man then asked, “Do you have a bomb in that bag?” The man ran after Parker and tackled him. There were many peo- ple in the area, including Indianapolis police officers who were riding the area on bicycles. They came to Parker’s aid and talked to him. Parker told the officer he did not want to press charges. He did not know what happened to the man from there. “I’m a little sore from the fall, but I’m fine. I had no issues during the game,” Parker said. Overseas Tokyo ticket holders may not get full refunds — Many fans living outside Japan who bought Tokyo Olym- pic tickets from brokers — so-called Authorized Ticket Re- sellers — will not get full refunds. Organizers and the Japa- nese government decided to bar most fans from abroad be- cause of the COVID-19 pandemic. Tokyo organizers have said they would refund the face value of the tickets but are not re- sponsible for other added charges. — Bulletin wire reports Continued from A5 Oregon State has held Tennessee, Oklahoma State with potential No. 1 overall NBA draft pick Cade Cun- ningham, and Loyola Chicago to 61 points per game on 31% shoot- ing, including 23% (18 of 78) from 3-point range. They also were suc- cessful throwing out different looks, from man to a 1-3-1 zone defense, in Saturday’s win against the Ram- blers. Tinkle has pointed to the imple- mentation of a drill as a catalyst for defensive improvement. “It’s a 4-on-4 drill, and we rotate and basically what you do is you can’t allow the offensive player to pene- trate,” junior Warith Alatishe said. “You have to get in your gaps and help out your teammates. So I think over time, just continuously doing that drill has gotten our chemistry up. “We know that if we get beat, our teammate has our back.” As for the Cougars, they entered Saturday night’s game against Syra- Continued from A5 Oregon and USC have been a big part of the Pac-12’s un- expected success in the Circle City. Picked to be the worst among the major confer- ences, the big league out West opened the NCAA Tourna- ment with nine straight wins and got four teams through to the Sweet 16. Oregon State and UCLA al- ready advanced, so the show- down between the Ducks and Trojans meant a Pac-12 trio in the Elite Eight. Oregon was in a familiar po- sition, running this deep into March for the fourth time in five NCAA Tournaments. USC had to reach back to the 2006- 07 team with Nick Young and Taj Gibson for its last Sweet 16 ride. The Trojans won the teams’ lone regular-season meeting 72-58 by getting off to a fast start. They did the same in the rematch by slowing the fast-moving Ducks. Normally free flowing on of- fense, Oregon had a hard time solving USC’s zone between Loss OLYMPICS Elite Ducks Continued from A5 Oregon was trying to get to its fourth straight Elite Eight and second consecutive Final Four. The Ducks had struggled heading into the NCAA Tour- nament, dropping five of six before getting to Texas.Evans also struggled late in the season and hadn’t played well in the Jeff Roberson/AP Southern California guard Tahj Eaddy (2) drives between Oregon guard LJ Figueroa, left, and guard Will Rich- ardson, right, during the first half of a Sweet 16 game in the NCAA men’s college basketball tournament at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis on Sunday. the big guards up top and the shot-swatting Mobley anchor- ing the paint. Offensively, USC looked more like the Ducks than they did, pouring in 3s and getting shots at the rim, using a 17-2 run to go up 14. The Trojans led 41-26 at halftime. USC stretched the lead to 20 in the opening 3½ min- utes of the second half before the Ducks finally came to life. An 11-0 run cut USC’s lead to 69-60, but the rally ran out of steam when Mobley threw down a two-handed dunk over Franck Kepnang. first two games of the tourna- ment. She hadn’t scored more than 15 points in any of the five ACC or NCAA Tournament games before Sunday. The Cardinals hadn’t played well at the start of either of their NCAA games. Coach Jeff Walz joked before the game that he would change his pregame speech after the Cardinals trailed by nine af- ter one quarter in the first round against Marist and by 15 against Northwestern. Louisville didn’t light it up early this time, either, but man- aged a 10-8 lead after the open- ing quarter. The teams com- bined to shoot 9 for 35 in the first 10 minutes. 3-point attempts in the first half and finished the game 2 for 18. Misfired The Ducks missed all nine Indy Bound Oregon coach Kelly Graves will travel to Indianapolis in support of his son, Will, who is a walk-on for the Gonzaga men’s team. The unbeaten Bulldogs will play in an Elite Eight game on Tuesday against Southern California. Double-digit history Add Oregon State to the relatively short list of double-digit seeds that have reached a regional final in the NCAA Tournament. The Beavers became the 18th team seeded 10th or lower to reach the Elite Eight since the field expanded to 64 teams in 1985 when they beat Loyola Chicago 65-58 on Saturday. Coach Wayne Tinkle’s team is the second No. 12 seed to make a regional fi- nal, joining Missouri in 2002. Those Tigers ended up losing to No. 2 seed Oklahoma. “It’s an amazing feeling to be just part of the success, really,” Oregon State star Ethan Thompson said. “Beaver Nation has waited a long time. And when coach Tinkle and the rest of the coaching staff got here, this was the goal in mind to turn it into suc- cessful basketball. And we’re here now. So it’s just been a great feeling and extremely blessed to be a part of it.” No team seeded worse than 12th has made the Elite Eight, but No. 15 seed Oral Roberts made a strong bid for history later Saturday. The Golden Eagles led No. 3 seed Arkansas by double digits in the second half, but the Razorbacks rallied to win 72-70. — Associated Press AJ Mast/AP cuse and hot-shooting Buddy Boe- heim allowing a national-low 37.3% shooting. They held the Orange to 28% while locking down on “Buddy Buckets,” who finished with 12 points after averaging 28 over his last four games. Houston has held three tour- nament opponents to 60 or fewer points while outrebounding each team by at least nine. That included Syracuse finishing with 46 points, its lowest output in any NCAA Tourna- ment game. Now the Cougars are preparing to face a fourth double-digit seed in as many games to play for a Final Four berth. Tenth-seeded Rutgers was the highest-seeded team beaten by the Cougars so far. Not that it matters to DeJon Jar- reau, the American Athletic Confer- Houston head coach Kelvin Sampson talks to his team in the first half of a Sweet 16 game against Syracuse in the NCAA men’s college basketball tournament at Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis on Saturday. “We know how good Oregon State is,” Samp- son said Sunday. “So we’re going to have to play good. They’re a lot more like us in that they get on the boards with athleticism and they play physical — should be a very good ballgame. We’re looking forward to it.” ence defensive player of the year who led the defensive effort on Boeheim. “You never know how it’s going to go,” Jarreau said of the bracket. “I’m grateful for us to be in this position. We just control what we can control. That’s not our problem. But like I said, we’re grateful.”
