SPOKANE, Wash. — With about 90 seconds remaining, trailing by 1 point, Oregon zipped the ball around until it found Dillon Brooks, its best shooter, open on the wing. St. Joseph’s players kept swiveling their heads, trying to keep up and stay in position, but with this Oregon team, no matter where the ball landed, it would not have been ideal.
Brooks rose and coolly drilled a 3-pointer.
In the waning moments, St. Joseph’s had the ball, trailing by 3, in the hands of their best player, DeAndre’ Bembry. But again, the Ducks’ depth bothered the Hawks.
