After 13 seasons, Ernie Kent, the longest serving men's basketball coach in the Pac-10 and the men's coach with the most wins in school history, is no longer the head coach of the University of Oregon men's basketball team.

The 2009 CBI Champion Oregon State men accepted a bid to defend their title with a return trip to the College Basketball Inviational.

Nicolas Batum scored 22 points, making five of six 3-point attempts, and the Portland Trail Blazers won their fourth straight with a 109-98 victory over the Toronto Raptors on Sunday night.

After falling short in last season's OSAA 4A State Championship game to La Pine, the Cottage Grove won the school's first girls basketball title with a 53-51 over Marist.

The disgraced sprinter once called the world's fastest woman was introduced Wednesday as the newest member of the WNBA's Tulsa Shock and she offered no apologies for her steroids use or her time in federal prison.

Ernie Kent answered questions from the media Monday about reports that his tenure with the University of Oregon men's basketball program would come to an end when the Duck season is over. "I've been coaching for -- how many years now? -- 20 something years, and I've heard a lot of noise," he said.

"We never established an offensive rhythm the entire game," said Brandon Roy, held to 12 points on 3 of 14 shooting from the floor. "Even myself, I couldn't get into the flow. We'd get close and them turn the ball over or we wouldn't execute offensively and then they would shoot the ball well."

Sources have confirmed to KVAL Sports that Oregon head coach Ernie Kent has already been fired.

Whether they call it McArthur Court, Mac Court or The Pit, anyone who's been inside -- from future presidents to the King himself -- knows this arena it's something special. Multiple eras of Duck basketball come to a close Saturday.
