It was tense, though, because Williams, Davis and Barlow were among the ones missing FTs late that would have shut the door on the Ducks. Instead, UO had multiple chances it couldn't convert. A disappointing way for Jackson to finish her final game in her hometown. She's close friends with Rogers, who said Jackson plans to move back to Seattle once she graduates this spring. Only Johnson had an impressive game for the Ducks. She was 9-for-19 from the field for 26 points and 12 boards in 29 minutes. The rest of the Ducks were 19-for-54 from the floor combined. McCann-Smith had another good night against the Ducks, making four three-pointers this go-round for 12 points. She said UO's crowding UW's posts and playing a zone helped open sight-lines to the hoop for her. "Be ready to shoot," McCann-Smith said of her mantra. Davis led all scorers with 27 points and had only three turnovers compared to the eight she had in the loss in December. My favorite stat, though, is UW outscoring UO 10-4 on fast break points. And Argens should have to buy Davis a Happy Meal for not finishing the wickedest play since the Mendiola era at Hec Ed. Davis jetted down court to beat all her defenders and whipped a no-look pass to Argens, who was waiting on the block. The senior went up and I think Holliday blocked it, but still...UW (13-9, 5-7) is now tied with Oregon (13-11, 5-7) in conference standings. The Huskies host Oregon State on Saturday. The Beavers are on a five-game win streak.
