News from the Latest Duck Game
Luke Jackson scored 21 points and Ian Crosswhite added 17 as No. 22 Oregon
survived a scare from Portland State for a 69-63 victory Wednesday night at
Memorial Coliseum. Luke Ridnour had 15 points for the Ducks (11-4), who again
struggled with their interior defense. Oregon lost three of its first four Pac-10
Conference games. Seth Scott led the Vikings (3-13) with a season-high 25 points
and 11 rebounds, while Kevin Briggs added 13 points and Brandon Haughton had
11. Portland State made it 42-42 less than four minutes into the second half
thanks to the post play of Scott and Haughton, forcing the Ducks to use two
centers to patrol the lane. That move coincided with a 12-2 Oregon run that
looked like it would put the game away...No.
