IT'S OVER --- UW 87-69.
THOMAS DUNKED --- Thomas dunked for the first time, which brought the house down. He threw down a left-handed slam. UW 84-66.
JUST STOP --- This is getting ridiculous. Ross can't miss. Except at the free throw line. He just scored on a tough layup despite being fouled.
OH MY --- Thomas connected with Ross for an alley-oop dunk that should lead ESPN's show tonight. Amazing. On the other end, Thomas collected a steal, drove the other way and dribbled around Loyd for a sweet layup. And finally, Catron went up for a layup, but Ross slammed the shot into the floor. The Huskies will win this game. UW 75-59, 3:48.
LOOK WHO'S FINISHING THE GAME --- UW has Thomas, Ross, Suggs, Gant and N'Diaye on the floor. UW 71-59, 5:04.
SLOWING DOWN --- That goes for me and the Ducks. Looks like they are running out of gas. Washington is control. Just noticed the Huskies have only taken three free throws. Amazing. I have to slow down to write the game story. UW 67-59, 5:45.
CAREER HIGH --- Ross has a career-high 19 points after nailing a three-pointer. This kid is something else. UW 67-59.
BRYAN-AMANING SENDS ONE DOWN --- Holiday delivered a perfect bounce pass to Bryan-Amaning who flushed a tomahawk jam. Altman is frustrated with Armstead and pulled him from the game. UW 64-57, 7:39.
CHECK OUT THIS LINEUP --- Washington is putting Oregon away and it's doing it with Overton, Ross, Suggs, Gant, Bryan-Amaning on the floor. The building is as loud as its ever been this season. UW 60-53, 10:56.
DANGER TIME FOR OREGON --- Washington has the momentum now. And the crowd is pumped. Suggs drained a three-pointer and Bryan-Amaning redirected a putback that put UW ahead 56-51 with 12:51 left.
ROSS AGAIN --- This time Ross drove into the lane, jumped, double clutched and dropped in a layup. Beautiful. UW 50-49.
NICE PLAY BY THOMAS --- Thomas drove into the lane, didn't find an open man and waited for an opening. After a second, he leaned back and banked in a short jumper. UW 48-47, 15:00.
ROSS AND CATRON --- Ross and Catron have 14 points. UO 47-46, 16:08.
IT'S ROSS' WORLD --- Romar went to the bench and Ross answered with a three-pointer. On the other end, Catron keeps it going and drilled a long jumper in Bryan-Amaning's grill. UW 44-44.
CATRON TAKING OVER. --- Catron hit two free throws to give Oregon its first lead. UO 42-41, 17:57.
CATRON STEPS OUT -- Didn't think Catron had three-point range, but the big man drained a three-pointer to cut UW's lead to 41-40.
SECOND HALF --- Same starters. Correction. Jonathan Loyd started at guard for Oregon and not Armstead.
HALFTIME OBSERVATIONS --- Ross is showing the Husky fans - those who didn't travel to Los Angeles for the USC games - what they didn't see last week when he took over the Trojans game for long stretches. He's putting on a show complete with three-pointers, solid defense and highlight finishes. His spin move in the lane is lethal. And he's able to find seams in the zone defense that only Thomas can find. Ross has 11 points on 5-for-9 shooting.
Suggs is also having a nice game. He's connected on 3 of 4 shots, including 2 for 2 behind the arc. And Thomas is having a nice game. He's not scoring. He has just two points and has missed four of five shots, but he's making the game easier for everyone else. He has six assists, including some nice passes to Bryan-Amaning.
The Huskies need to be concerned about the rebounding. They're being outrebounded 19-16. And someone needs to stay with Sim, who is perfect on three attempts and has eight points. If not for him knocking down some long jumpers, Washington would have a comfortable lead.
Overton provided a spark, but he sat for long minutes late in the first half primarily because Ross was on fire.
The Huskies have forced 11 turnovers and they have just five TOs. Didn't think Oregon would hang around this long. The Ducks are a scrappy team.
