Men fall hard to Cardinal By Chris Hansen Assistant Sports Editor Reality check. Just in case Oregon was feeling a little high and mighty after Saturday’s handling of California in its Pacific-10 Conference opener, No. 7 Stanford came into McArthur Court on Monday night and em phatically brought the Ducks hack down to earth with an 89-67 trouncing. And as it turned out, Stanford’s size ad vantage wasn’t much of a factor. With injured starting forward Mark Mad sen left at home and starting center Tim Young in early foul trouble, the Cardinal relied on its perimeter players, namely guard Kris Weems, who led all scorers with a career-high 34 points. As a team, Stanford shot 71 percent from the three-point line, making 10 of 14 attempts. Henry Madden paced the Ducks with 19 points, hitting on his first seven shots, while Jamar Curry and Jonathon Nelson had 10 apiece. The win keeps the Cardinal undefeated at 2-0 in the Pac-10 and 13-0 overall. The Ducks fall to 1-1 and 6-5. “You just witnessed what 1 thought was an outstanding basketball team,” Oregon head coach Ernie Kent said afterward. "All the weapons in all the areas, the big men inside, the strength, the depth, the talent, certainly the shooters on the perimeter, and they just put on an awesome display. There is a reason they’re undefeated and there is a reason they’re ranked seventh in the country. For us as a program, they are where we want to go to.” The way Stanford was able to do things at will against the Ducks was more a testa ment to the talent on the Cardinal team and not so much to the way the Ducks played.

But the story of the night was not Oregon’s inability to hit shots, but rather the ability of Stanford’s perimeter players, and especially junior shooting guard Kris Weems, to hit theirs. Weems, point guard Arthur Lee, forward Peter Sauer and reserve David Moseley com bined to hit 10 of 13 shots from behind the arc, headlined by Weems' four-of-six effort “We had a huge lift from Kris Weems tonight,” Stanford head coach Mike Mont gomery said. “He seemed to be the guy we could get the ball to and was able to get open shots.” Weems’ 34 points on 13-of-18 shooting led the charge for the Cardinal from the out set as he scored 12 points in the game’s first eight minutes before being replaced by the sophomore Moseley, who promptly nailed a jumper 30 seconds later before sandwiching turn three-pointers around a Henry Madden three.
