Oregon in stride with rival Washington ahead
The start of Pacific-12 play couldn’t have gone much better for Oregon.
Nor much worse for Washington.
The Pacific Northwest rivals will meet Thursday night in Seattle at opposite ends of the conference standings.
The Ducks (10-3, 2-0 Pac-12) opened conference play at home last week by beating USC 82-74 and UCLA 64-59.
“You gotta win at home if you want to be involved (in the conference race),” Oregon coach Dana Altman said.
The Ducks trailed by five points early in the second half Saturday against UCLA before Jermaine Couisnard sparked a 12-2 run with a 3-pointer and freshman Jackson Shelstad capped it with three straight 3s.
Shelstad finished with a game-high 20 points, Couisnard added 15 and Jadrian Tracey came off the bench to score 10.
“Our defense picked up, Jackson made some shots and the game flipped,” Altman said.
The Huskies (8-5, 0-2) absorbed a pair of road losses last week, 73-69 at Colorado and 95-90 at Utah.
Washington led by seven points with 5:56 remaining against the Buffaloes and by 11 at the half against the Utes.
“We had a chance at the end,” Huskies coach Mike Hopkins said. “These are two of the top teams in the league and to put yourself in position to win is a great thing, but … we got to get over the hump. Lot of good basketball left. We got to dig a little deeper.”
Keion Brooks Jr. leads the Huskies with 20.5 points per game, which is second in the conference. Teammate Sahvir Wheeler averages 14.9 points and is tied for the Pac-12 lead with 7.0 assists per game.
Washington center Franck Kepnang has missed the past three games with a knee injury. Backup Braxton Meah picked up his fourth foul Saturday just 15 seconds into the second half and that left the Huskies without an answer for 7-footer Branden Carlson, who scored 19 of Utah’s final 24 points.

PORTLAND, Ore. (KATU) — The Oregon Department of Forestry is asking Oregonians to be careful when disposing of yard debris this spring.

“There have already been 23 escaped debris burns for a total of 83 acres reported on ODF-protected land in 2026,” the agency said.
The agency said that at this time last year, it had responded to 37 escaped burns.
“More than 70% of wildfires every year in Oregon are human-caused, with escaped debris burns topping the list,” ODF said. “With record-low snowpack and an abnormally warm winter, forecasters are anticipating a hotter and drier summer than usual.”
The Central Oregon District of ODF has already declared the start of fire season.
On May 14, fire restrictions will go into effect for all Bureau of Land Management lands in Oregon and Washington.
“We are increasingly concerned that 2026 could rival the most extreme years on record for heat and dryness in the Pacific Northwest,” said Jeff Fedrizzi, assistant chief of operations for the Pacific Northwest, U.S. Wildland Fire Service. “Every visitor must understand that even one small spark can lead to a costly and destructive fire in these high-impact conditions.”
Officials say the restrictions will help reduce the risk of human-caused fires. BLM officials say anyone who violates the prohibition could be fined up to $100,000 and/or face up to 12 months in prison.
More information on fire season is available on the ODF website.
The Bureau of Land Management website has additional information on fire restrictions and closures.

PORTLAND, Ore. — The Oregon DMV issued a warning for drivers, saying scammers are still sending out fake text messages trying to steal money from people.
State DMV officials say it is part of a nationwide scam that’s been happening for nearly two years.
The fake text messages often come from international phone numbers or non-government email addresses.
In the messages, the scammers threaten to suspend car registration or driving privileges if a person doesn’t pay.
If you get this message, the DMV asks that you don’t click on any links or respond. Simply report it to the Federal Trade Commission or delete it.
