Ducks Run Past Pioneers

Don Smalley

Oregon coach Dana Altman was disappointed in Oregon's effort in its first exhibition game despite the victory.

He couldn't have been disappointed Sunday afternoon as the Ducks defeated Lewis and Clark College 100-58 in their last exhibition game.

Jabari Brown lead the Ducks with a double-double on 16 points and 11 rebounds off the bench. Olu Ashaolu added another 16 points and nine rebounds.

"We did a much better job making plays for our teammates and coming out with intensity," Altman said.

Just as in their first game against Grand Canyon, the Ducks started out slow, yielding the Pioneers an early 19-15 lead. But Oregon started to use their superior size inside finding easy buckets for Jeremy Jacob and Tony Woods.

Each scored 13 points and Oregon began to take control of the game with 10 minutes left in the first half and the score tied at 22. From there the Ducks raced to a 49-38 halftime lead.

The second half was all Ducks.

Oregon outscored the Pioneers 51-20 in the final 20 minutes of play.

"We had a team huddle at the half and decided that it was a conscious effort to keep their field goal percentage down," said Ashaolu.

At that they were successful.

Oregon held Lewis and Clark to 20 percent shooting in the second half on 6-of-30 from the field. The Ducks, meanwhile, were on fire.

The Ducks shoot 59 percent (17-of-29) from the field in the second half. Overall, they shot 58 percent of 36-of-62 for the game,

"Practice was intense and Coach (Altman) was honest about it and told us that we weren't prepared," said Brown. "He was definitely pushing us this week."

Brown, a highly-touted recruit, had a tough debut against Grand Canyon, but rebounded nicely in his second collegiate action.

"I was disappointed and I felt like I could have done things better. I needed to pick it up in all areas," he said.

The whole team will have to pick it up this Friday as the season opens with a big road test against Vanderbilt. The Commodores are ranked seventh in both the media and coaches' poll.

"It's a really important week for us and we really have to take some steps to get to where we need to be," Altman said. "We know the challenge ahead of us and we know how hard we have to go to get there."
