(San Francisco, CA)  --  Eric Paschall poured in 36 points and 13 rebounds as the Warriors beat the Trail Blazers 127-118 in San Francisco.  Damian Lillard scored a game-high 39 points for Portland, while Hassan Whiteside added 22 points and 11 rebounds.  CJ McCollum and Anfernee Simons each scored 14 in defeat.  Portland will visit the Clippers on Thursday night to wrap up its road trip.

(Corvallis, OR)  --  After back-to-back wins, the Beavers will be back home to face Washington on Saturday night.  Portland State will be home to face UC Davis this weekend. 

(Undated)  --  The first College Football Playoff rankings will be announced tonight.  Oregon, which is seventh in the Coaches Poll, sits at 8-and-1.  The rankings will update every Tuesday until the selection show December 8th.  The Ducks are on a bye this week.

(Undated)  --  Franchise values in the MLS are up, despite revenues being stagnant for many, and down for some.  Many investors are banking on a new national TV deal in 2023 and the 2026 World Cup which will be held stateside, according to a Forbes report Monday.  The magazine valued the Timbers as the sixth most valuable club.  Atlanta United took the top spot at a valuation of 500-million dollars.  Portland is worth an approximate 390 million.  Despite the fourth-highest revenue in the league at 47-million, the team operates at just a four-million-dollar income.  Arch-rival Seattle is fourth at 405-million-dollars.

(Undated)  --  In college basketball tonight, number-14 Oregon opens against Fresno State, Oregon State hosts Cal State Northridge, Portland entertains Willamette and Portland State hosts Puget Sound.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Justin Herbert passed for 225 yards and threw three touchdown passes to Juwan Johnson in the second half, and Oregon recovered from a slow start to cruise to its eighth consecutive victory.

Freshman Mykael Wright returned a kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown shortly after Brady Breeze returned an interception 32 yards for a score late in the second quarter for the Ducks (8-1, 6-0 Pac-12).

Oregon erased an early 10-0 deficit by scoring a touchdown after each of four turnovers by USC freshman quarterback Kedon Slovis during a 19-minute stretch spanning halftime.

Herbert and receiver Jaylon Redd rushed for touchdowns in the first half for Oregon, which remained on track for the Pac-12 North title and a good shot at the College Football Playoff despite a rough start at the Coliseum. Johnson, the Ducks' senior Penn State transfer, had seven catches for 106 yards after making just six previous receptions all season.

(San Francisco, CA)  --  The Trail Blazers will be looking to exact some measure of revenge tonight when they face the Golden State Warriors in their new arena in San Francisco. Tip-off at 7:30 pm tonight on KBND. The Warriors knocked Portland out of the Western Conference finals last season, but look markedly different this year after a slew of early-season injuries.  Portland will be without Pau Gasol and Zach Collins, while the Dubs will be without Draymond Green and Stephen Curry.

(Undated)  --  In college basketball, the regular season starts tomorrow with  Portland entertaining Willamette.  Also tomorrow, Portland State hosts Puget Sound number-14 Oregon opens up against Fresno State and Oregon State hosts Cal State Northridge.

(Tucson, AZ)  --  Jake Lutton threw for 328 yards and three touchdown passes as the Beavers beat up on Arizona 56-38 in Tucson.  With back-to-back wins and at 4-and-4, Oregon State will return to Corvallis to face Washington Saturday night. 

(Tallahassee, FL)  --  Florida State is parting ways with head football coach Willie Taggart.  FSU fired the second-year coach after the team lost to rival Miami 27-10 on Saturday.  The Seminoles are 4-and-5 on the season and 9-and-12 overall under Taggart.  The 43-year-old is owed a 17-million-dollar buyout.  Longtime assistant Odell Haggins will serve as interim head coach for the rest of the season.  Taggart left Oregon after one year to take the FSU job.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Justin Herbert passed for 225 yards and threw
three touchdown passes to Juwan Johnson in the second half, and
Oregon recovered from a slow start to cruise to its eighth
consecutive victory.

Freshman Mykael Wright returned a kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown
shortly after Brady Breeze returned an interception 32 yards for a
score late in the second quarter for the Ducks (8-1, 6-0 Pac-12).
Oregon erased an early 10-0 deficit by scoring a touchdown after
each of four turnovers by USC freshman quarterback Kedon Slovis
during a 19-minute stretch spanning halftime.

Herbert and receiver Jaylon Redd rushed for touchdowns in the first
half for Oregon, which remained on track for the Pac-12 North title

start at the Coliseum. Johnson, the Ducks' senior Penn State
transfer, had seven catches for 106 yards after making just six
previous receptions all season.

USC (5-4, 4-2) fell out of first place in the Pac-12 South with its

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) Furkan Korkmaz made a 3-pointer with 0.4 seconds left and the Philadelphia 76ers rallied for their fifth straight victory to start the season, 129-128 over the Portland Trail Blazers on Saturday night.

Anfernee Simons made a corner 3-pointer with 2.2 seconds left to put Portland in front, but the Sixers got the ball back after a timeout to set up Korkmaz's falling-down, 24-footer for the win - without suspended center Joel Embiid. Philadelphia is the last undefeated team in the NBA with its first 5-0 start since 2000-01.

Embiid served the first of a two-game suspension for an altercation with Minnesota's Karl-Anthony Towns during the 76ers' 117-95 home victory Wednesday night.

Damian Lillard led Portland with 33 points, hitting eight of Portland's 19 3-pointers.
