Freshman of the Week (Tie): Damyean Dotson and Dominic Artis, Oregon
They sure don't make freshmen like they used to. Dotson and Artis have started in the backcourt for the Ducks all season, yet you would never know how inexperienced they are. Playing a road game against a ranked conference opponent on national television, Dotson and Artis showed maturity well beyond their years, combining for 25 points, nine rebounds, nine assists, three steals and three turnovers in a 76-67 win over UCLA. The duo also combined for 26 points in a win at USC last Thursday. The most amazing thing about these two has been their consistency. The 6-5 Dotson, who was the more heralded of the two coming out of Findlay Prep in Las Vegas, excels at creating his shot, old-school style. He leads the Ducks in scoring at 11.0 points per game and has made 48 percent of his shots. Artis, a 6-1 point guard from Oakland, is averaging 10.3 points per game, but he has failed to score in double figures just four times.
