 ST. LOUIS (AP) - Oregon forward Maarty Leunen seems to have figured out how to tell whether freshman Tajuan Porter is going to have a big night. "We call it the 'heat check,'" Leunen said. "He'll shoot one more just to see if it goes in. Then he's on fire and we just keep giving it to him."
Porter, the 5-foot-6 freshman that no other big school wanted, tied an NCAA regional record with eight 3-pointers and finished with 33 points, as Oregon withstood a frantic comeback to beat seventh-seeded UNLV 76-72 on Friday in the Midwest Regional.
The third-seeded Ducks advanced to play top-seeded Florida on Sunday.
