Men fall hard
to Cardinal
By Chris Hansen

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.

On paper, Oregon’s 89-67 loss to No. 7
Stanford, in which the Ducks hit just 42.9
percent of their shots from the field and 50
percent from the line, could be deemed
nothing if not just plain ugly.
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.
