MEN'S BASKETBALL Ducks survive, advance No. 8 seed Oregon eases past No. 9 seed Oklahoma St., moves on to round of 32 By Dave Skretta The Associated Press DailyTidings.com By Dave Skretta The Associated Press Posted Mar. 20, 2015 @ 7:52 pm By Dave Skretta The Associated Press Posted Mar. 20, 2015 @ 7:52 pm » Social News p bs:newslist StartDate="20121121" EndDate="p bs:datecalc Months="3"" DateSort="1" UseObjects="1" ObjectClass="81" Taxonomywords="2324,665" ExactTaxonomyMatch="1" Image="1" Count="4" --> OMAHA, Neb. — With just over 4 minutes remaining in the first half Friday night, Oregon star Joseph Young had missed every time he shot the ball and managed just two points. By halftime, he had made a mockery of Oklahoma State's stingy defense. The Pac-12 player of the year scored 15 of his 27 points in a dazzling flurry, leading the eighth-seeded Ducks to a 79-73 win over the Cowboys in their NCAA Tournament opener. "It's just my teammates trusting me," Young said. "They found me, got me the ball, set good screens, and I knocked down open shots. But I really commend my team for getting me open." Elgin Cook added 18 points and Dillon Brooks had 17 for the Ducks (26-9), who got a win for Dana Altman in his return to Omaha, where he once coached Creighton. Up next for Oregon is the winner of top-seeded Wisconsin and Coastal Carolina. "We have a lot of guys who have made contributions," Altman said, "but Joe and Elgin are our one-two punch most nights. And down the stretch, since we've been playing better in February and March, it has been those two guys leading us." Le'Bryan Nash had 18 points before fouling out in his final game for ninth-seeded Oklahoma State (18-14). Senior transfer Anthony Hickey added 17 points in his NCAA Tournament debut, and Phil Forte and Tavarius Shine finished with 12 points each. "Give them credit, they're a tough team to stop," said Cowboys coach Travis Ford, whose team lost seven of its last eight. "We tried a couple different things and they made shots." Nobody more than Young, who was the flashiest player on the floor — and that's saying a lot considering the Ducks wore their neon yellow and the Cowboys their blazing orange. Oklahoma State actually did a good job of keeping Young in check most of the first half, denying him the ball and then clamping down when he finally got it. But when they loosened up just before the break, Young went on a roll. He started by draining a 3-pointer with 4:08 remaining, and then hit another one from well beyond the arc. Young added two free throws, another 3-pointer, an 18-foot jumper and then was fouled with 2.2 seconds left, converting both of those foul shots. Suddenly, the high-scoring senior guard had gone on a personal 15-3 run, digging the Ducks out of a 36-28 hole and giving them a 43-39 advantage at the break. "You can't give him any space," Forte said. "He'll make you pay for it." Young's biggest highlight may have come early in the second half. The 6-foot-2 guard raced ahead in transition, gathered in a pass and threw down a dunk over Hickey before crashing to the floor — no doubt impressing his father, Michael, a member of Houston's Phi Slama Jama. Oklahoma State responded with a spurt of its own, regaining the lead on Hickey's 3-pointer midway through the second half. But the Ducks still had another run in them, this time with everybody but Young getting into the act. By the time Dwayne Benjamin stripped Nash and coasted in for a dunk, the 11-0 spurt had given the Pac-12 runner-ups a 70-62 advantage with 6:40 left. The Cowboys trimmed their deficit to 70-69 a few minutes later, but Brooks added another 3-pointer, Jordan Bell added a dunk and the Ducks put the game away from the foul line. "We got outplayed," Ford said. "They're a very, very good offensive team."
