The senior guard totaled career highs in points and steals last season against the Ducks at home, but the feeling on Sunday at Friel Court was a slice of redemption and relief. Behind Low's game-high 27 points and 10-of-16 shooting from the field, the WSU men’s basketball team ended a 13-game losing skid spanning seven seasons against Oregon in a 69-60 triumph. Oregon (12-6, 3-3 Pac-10 conference) stormed out of the gates early and outscored the Cougars 17-6 to start the game.

nation brief L.A. Times fires editor in budget dispute LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Times fired its top editor after he rejected a management order to cut $4 million from the newsroom budget, 14 months after his predecessor was also ousted in a budget dispute, the newspaper said Sunday. James O’Shea was fired following a confrontation with Publisher David D. Hiller, the Times reported on its website. The story didn’t say when the confrontation took place. “The Los Angeles Times, like all newspaper companies, is facing major challenges in charting a course that will be successful for the future. The path ahead is going to be difficult and requires that our people and our organization be aligned behind what we need to do,” Hiller said in a statement. “As a result of these changes, Jim O’Shea will be leaving the Times.” The departure also follows that of his predecessor, Dean Baquet, who was forced to resign after he opposed further cuts to the newsroom budget in 2006.
