 in the first half, and his coach had to wake up the freshman at halftime.

"He was just kind of in a daze in the first half," Washington coach Lorenzo Romar Lorenzo Romar (born November 13, 1958 in South Gate, California, United States) is the current head men's basketball coach at the University of Washington. Romar also played basketball for the University of Washington from 1978 to 1980.  said. "Somebody snapped their fingers, and the hypnosis hypnosis

The 6-foot-7 freshman certainly did look like a different player when he scored 12 points and grabbed six rebounds in the second half, including some crucial plays down the stretch to lift the 20th-ranked Huskies to a 75-72 win over Oregon Oregon, city, United States

 on Thursday night at McArthur Court McArthur Court is a basketball arena located on the campus of the University of Oregon in Eugene. Also known as "The Pit," it is known as one of the toughest arenas in the country for opposing players to play in. The arena is named for Clifton N. .

"It was one of those things where Coach had to light a fire under my butt BUTT. A measure of capacity, equal to one hundred and eight gallons. See Measure. , but that should never have to happen," Brockman said. "I wasn't with it in the first half. Then I got out and got some confidence in the second half. I hit a jump hook and got a couple rebounds and got going."

Brockman kept going until the end. He had a couple of big rebound baskets down the stretch, including a tip-in with 4:26 remaining that put the Huskies ahead 66-65.

Oregon tied the score 70-70 and looked to have momentum when Chamberlain Oguchi Chamberlain Oguchi (born April 28, 1986 in Houston, Texas) is a Nigerian American college basketball player. A 6'5", 190 pound shooting guard at the University of Oregon, he is also a member of the Nigeria national basketball team. His nickname by friends and family is Champ.  blocked a shot by Brandon Roy Brandon Roy (born July 23, 1984 in Seattle, Washington) is an American professional basketball player with the Portland Trail Blazers of the National Basketball Association. , but Brockman grabbed the rebound and scored to give Washington the lead for good with 42 seconds left.

"Jon is a very good rebounder offensively and defensively," Romar said. "He has a knack for knowing where the ball is coming up. He has really good timing as the ball is coming off, and thank goodness his timing was there tonight because he made some valuable baskets. Those are stops by Oregon if we don't get those tip-ins, and those were crucial times in the game when he kept us alive."

Washington leads the league with more than 15 offensive rebounds per game and exceeded that with 17 against the Ducks, including four by Brockman and Jamaal Williams. Washington had 36 rebounds, more than double Oregon's total of 17.

Washington made four field goals in the final 5:06, and all of them came following an offensive rebound. In addition to Brockman's baskets, Roy had a rebound basket and then Bobby Jones scored following a rebound to put the Huskies ahead 70-68 with 2:02 remaining.

"In a game where both teams are playing great defense, you have to find a way to get the ball in, and we went to the glass," Roy said.

Like Brockman, Roy had a strong second half when he scored 13 of his team-high 21 points, including 11 in the final 10:41. Roy was 2-of-5 from the field in the first half before driving to the basket more in the second half.

"He scored eight points in the first half and he kind of picked his spots," Romar said. "In the majority of the second half, they were in a zone and he was able to penetrate the zone, and when he did that it allowed Jon Brockman and a couple others to get on the offensive glass as they rotated rotated
