(26-4 overall, 15-2 Pacific-10 Conference)
scored the next 11 points on its way to a
73-61 win over the Ducks that solidified
Stanford’s bid for a No. 1 seed in the up
coming NCAA Tournament.
“That’s the kind of team Stanford is,”
said Brown of the newest Pac-10 cham
pions. “We knew they weren’t going to
have a let down.”
Even so, the Ducks (15-11, 7-10) threat
ened late in the first half, pulling within
one at 34-33 on an A.D. Smith layin with
2:25 left in the first half.
Oregon got that close on the hot shoot
ing of Yasir Rosemond, who had 14 first
half points on four-for-seven three-point
shooting. Outside of Rosemond’s five
for-eight showing from the floor, the
Ducks shot 33 percent as a team in the
first half.
“We took too many threes in the first
half,” Oregon head coach Ernie Kent said
of the Ducks’ 19 attempts.
But while Oregon managed to hit six
of those first-half threes, the Ducks were
just one for 10 from behind the arc in the
second half.
The Ducks held the Pac-lO’s most
well-rounded offense to just six points
for six minutes midway through the sec

In addition to scoring a game-high 21 points, Stanford’s Arthur Lee looked to got his teammates involved.
Lee resumes
March form
By Tim Pyle
Oregon Daily Emerald
Arthur Lee loves March.
Last season, he celebrated the month
by leading surprising Stanford all the
way to the Final Four of the NCAA
Tournament, being named the Midwest
Regional’s MVP in the process.
Last week, Lee lit it up just in antici
pation of March.
After he torched Arizona State for 18
points and six assists in the Cardinal’s
87-77 overtime home win Feb. 25, the
senior point guard sealed No. 6 Stan
ford’s first Pacific-10 Conference title by
burning Arizona and point guard Jason
Terry, the favorite for Pac-10 player of
the year, for 29 points and eight assists
last Saturday.
Lee was named Pac-10 player of the
week for his performances.
Thursday night at McArthur Court,
“King Arthur” ruled the second half
with 15 of his 21 total points to lead the
Cardinal (25-5 overall, 15-2 Pac-10) to a
convincing 73-61 victory over the Ore
gon men’s basketball team.
“He had to wait for his opening,”
Stanford head coach Mike Montgomery
said. “One thing is I had him play the
[shooting guard] a lot more in the sec
ond half, and 1 had Mike [McDonald]
handle the ball, which freed him up to
get involved a little bit more.
“He made a couple baskets and start
ed to feel it a little bit. Typically, when
he feels that he does a pretty good job.”
Is it mere coincidence that Lee is heat
ing up again at do-or-die time?
Stanford forward Mark Madsen does
n’t think so.
“Arthur Lee was the reason why we
made it to the Final Four last year,” said
Madsen, who produced 12 points and
14 rebounds to earn his eighth double

Oregon women no match for Stanford’s athleticism
The Ducks first
lost control on
the boards,
then lost the
game
By Allison Ross
Oregon Daily Emerald
The Oregon women needed its big play
ers to do the little things Thursday night —
rebound and score inside.
But it turned out to be more than a little
job.
In the end, that little job cost the Ducks,
putting an end to their nine-game winning
streak and most likely their hopes of play
ing host to the first round of the NCAA
Tournament.
It seemed every time Stanford took a
shot, another Cardinal, sometimes two or
three, was waiting for the rebound. Usual
ly it was freshman Bethany Donaphin who
grabbed the rebound and put the ball in the
hoop.
When Oregon missed a shot, again it
was Stanford that cor
ralled the rebound. The
Cardinal finished with 25
defensive boards and
outrebounded Oregon by
10.
At the start of the sec
ond half, Stanford’s 12
rebounds to Oregon’s three helped the Car
dinal go on a 12-4 run and extend its one
point halftime lead to seven.
Bfli
Stanford forwards powered their way to
the basket, and with 13 minutes remaining
in the game, they had outscored Oregon 24
14 in the paint. Oregon forward Angelina
Wolvert was the Ducks’ most successful in
side scorer, converting nine of 13 shots, but
Wolvert, Oregon’s leading rebounder, man
aged just five rebounds.
The Cardinal contained Oregon sopho
mores Brianne Meharry and Jenny Mowe
on the inside. Meharry finished the game
three for eight from the field and watched
several of her easy layins roll around the
rim before they fell helplessly into the
hands of a Cardinal defender. Mowe hit
just one of seven shots but led the Ducks
with seven rebounds.
