EUGENE, Ore. Indians James Hoyt Jersey . -- Oregon centre Hroniss Grasu jokes about how he should have planned ahead: His apartment lease ran out, so hes staying in a hotel while the Ducks prepare for the national championship. Kidding aside, living out of a suitcase is just fine with Grasu because it means he gets to play in one more game with the Ducks. While quarterback Marcus Mariota is the unquestioned leader of the team, Grasu is its anchor. Both players decided last year at about this time that they would return for another season at Oregon. Asked this week about what it would feel like to win next Monday night when the Ducks face Ohio State for the title, Grasu said that he honestly hadnt considered it yet. Im not thinking about what it would feel like if we win a national championship, Im just thinking about what Ive got to do to get this team in the best position to win, he said. Well just do whatever it takes. The 6-foot-3 senior, who is just shy of 300 pounds, is considered one of the best players at his position in the nation and a top prospect at centre for the NFL draft this spring. Hes always been a perfect fit in Oregons hyper-drive offence because hes quick and agile despite his size. Going into the season, it looked like Oregons offensive line -- which helped Oregon lead the Pac-12 in rushing, scoring and total offence last season -- would be a force with five returning starters. But then left tackle Tyler Johnstone injured his right knee during fall camp and was declared done for the season. Jake Fisher moved over from right tackle to take Johnstones spot and junior Andre Yruretagoyena took over at right tackle. That is until Yruretagoyena injured his foot against Michigan State in Week 2. Then Fisher hurt his knee against Wyoming the next week, leaving the Ducks with inexperienced options at tackle for games against Washington State and Arizona. Mariota was sacked 12 times over the course of those two games. Then tackle Matt Pierson went down with a left knee injury late in a victory over Stanford on Nov. 1. Grasu himself missed the final two regular-season games, against Colorado and Oregon State, after hurting his lower left leg on Nov. 8 against Utah. There wasnt one injury that I didnt have faith in the coaching staff and the players that they werent going to step up. It was just, Whos the next guy? Theyre going to step up. There was never any doubt in my mind that our team, our players werent ready or our coaching staff wasnt ready, he said. Grasu returned to play in the Rose Bowl playoff victory over Florida State, although he said he didnt do as well as he would have liked. Hes like that, always trying to figure out how to get better. I could have been a little more physical but we got the W and thats all that matters to me, he said. But I felt good, I could move, I could run. Right now Ive got to get healthy again and get ready to go. Grasu, who grew up in the Los Angeles area, became Oregons starting centre as a redshirt freshman after beating out Karrington Armstrong for the job. At the time, then-coach Chip Kelly said the best compliment he could give Grasu was that he never had to think about him. Grasu is just as important to the Ducks off the field. Twice hes been honoured with the teams Todd Doxey Award for the player that best represents the spirituality, dedication and brotherhood associated with being an outstanding teammate. The award is named after the Oregon defensive back who drowned in an accident shortly before the 2008 season. Over the past three seasons, he has developed an almost symbiotic relationship with Mariota. It seemed natural that when Mariota decided to stay for another year, Grasu did too. But it wasnt about a national title back then, and it isnt now -- although that would be an added bonus. Grasu wanted his degree. And another year with his Oregon brothers. I didnt come back for unfinished business, to win a Pac-12, Rose Bowl or national championship, he said emphatically. I came back to be around this group of guys. Indians Carlos Carrasco Jersey .

The Wizards led the Martin Luther King Jr. Day game for the final 42 minutes and were ahead by double digits over the last 38 1/2. Kevin Seraphin scored 14 points off the bench and John Wall had 11 points and 10 assists for the Wizards, who have won seven of their last nine, including four of their last five. The only loss during that five-game stretch came in the opener of a home-and- home series against Brooklyn on Friday. If you take the game against Brooklyn out, weve had a pretty good stretch of games where weve played really good basketball and we just have to make sure we continue to play like this, said Gortat. Nene added 12 points while Paul Pierce, Bradley Beal and Otto Porter each scored 10 for the Wizards, who shot better than 55 percent from the field, making half of their 14 3-pointers. They outrebounded the Sixers 53-30. Henry Sims led Philadelphia with 13 points. Jerami Grant scored 12 and Nerlens Noel had 11 with seven rebounds, three assists and four steals, but Michael Carter-Williams shot just 2-for-13 for seven points. The Sixers have lost four of their last five on the heels of a 3-1 stretch. Philadelphia coach Brett Brown called the game a clunker but said the Wizards deserve credit for making his team look so bad. Indians Lonnie Chisenhall Jersey. The Sixers shot under 33 percent overall and threw up 24 3-pointers, making just six. There were times when you looked out on the floor and you saw a bunch of men. Big, physical, playoff-hardened men, Brown said of the Wizards. They are strong at each position and physical at each position and there are times when you look out and realize the difference in maturity. Brown said he cant tell when the Sixers, who have 25 double-digit losses this season, are going to play poorly. I live in a naive world, he said. I really think were going to steal wins every time we play. (Our players) allow me to think that because they have spirited practices ... (but) sometimes you have one of those games. I think you have to give (the Wizards) credit when you look at how bad we were. I think they forced that. Philadelphias last lead was 8-7 on a Noel tip-in with 6:48 remaining in the first quarter. Washington followed with a 20-3 run and led by double digits the rest of the way. Game Notes The Wizards have won four in a row against the Sixers ... It was the first of four meetings scheduled between the teams this season ... Washington hosts Oklahoma City on Wednesday ... Philadelphia hosts New York on Wednesday.
