The Wade Trophy is awarded by the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association to a player who not only excels athletically but serves as a positive role model on and off the court.

Damian Lillard…2,000 points…and 500 assists in a single season.

It’s 6’-3 ‘ guard Damian Lillard, now becoming the first Trail Blazer in franchise history to record these two feats in a single season, who last night led Portland on a 14-3 run to end the second quarter, capped up a steal turned first-half buzzer beater, on the way to pulling away from the Memphis Grizzlies 116-86.  The game was home in front of a sellout crowd of 19,608 Wednesday night at the Moda Center, as the Blazers get closer to the NBA Playoffs.

The Trail Blazers are now 50-28 overall and 30-9 at home this season. Portland has now reached the 50-win mark for the 14th time in franchise history and for the first time since the 2014-15 campaign.

Evan Turner recorded his second consecutive triple-double and the fifth of his career, finish-ing with 13 points (6-7 FG, 1-1 3-PT), and season highs of 12 rebounds and 11 assists.

Turner is the second player in franchise history to record a triple-double in consecutive games and the only NBA player to have a triple-double off the bench in consecutive games going back to the 1983-84 season.

The UO women’s basketball team left Tuesday on a charter flight to Tampa, Fla., site of this year’s Final Four and tomorrow night’s epic contest against Baylor.

The Henley Hornets blanked Yreka 5-0 and Mazama dropped an 11-2 decision to Crater in high school baseball yesterday.  Both teams were rained out of action Tuesday.  In softball, Crater handed Henley its first defeat of the season, 7-4, in Central Point yesterday.
