double. “And to see him on top
of his game in crunch time, that’s
paramount for us.”
After scoring six points on just
two-of-six shooting from the field
in the first half, Lee wasted little
time in serving notice that the sec
ond half would be his.
The Ducks initiated the halfs
scoring on a Darius Wright layup
to pull within three points, but
Lee’s ensuing three-pointer with
19 minutes, 11 seconds remaining
bumped the Cardinal to a 43-37
lead.
Oregon bounced back to cut fhe
lead to 49-46 on Freddie Jones’
layin at 15:06, but then Stanford
went on a 13-3 run during a stretch
of more than eight minutes to all
but sew up its fifth straight win.
Lee’s back-to-bafk deep jump
shots at 13:29 and 12:43 helped in
stigate the Cardinal’s game-clinch
ing charge.
“I was just trying to feel the
game out and see where I could
take my scoring opportunities,”
said Lee, a 6-foot-l, 180-pound na
tive of Los Angeles. “I just came
down and made a few shots on the
break and tried to penetrate a lit
tle bit in the transition to get some
thinggoing.”
And the dagger that finally put
the Ducks away was again admin
istered by Lee.
After Stanford ran down the
shot clock with a 64-57 lead, Lee
drove quickly to his left from the
top of the arch and banked home a
pretty layin with 1:33 remaining.
He then kept the game out of the
Ducks’ reach by hitting all four of
his free-throw attempts in the fi
nal minutes. For the game, Lee
was eight for eight from the line,
improving his league-leading free
throw percentage to .897.
Lee added two assists and two
rebounds to his game-high scoring
total in 34 minutes.
And this was only the Cardi
nal’s first game in March.
Judging from the signs on
Thursday night, the rest of the
month should be lovely for Lee
once again.

ond half. Unfortunately for Kent
and the Ducks, Oregon couldn’t
manage a single point during that
nearly stretch.
In all, the Ducks were
outscored 13-3 over a span of
more than nine minutes.
“What Stanford does is play
such a solid game, once you break
down, they kind of feed off that,”
Oregon center Mike Carson said.
Carson spent most of the game
battling the most imposing pair of
posts in the Pac-10. Tim Young
and Mark Madsen combined for
24 points and 29 rebounds, 17 of
them offensive.
Although Carson blocked three
shots and was called for just one
foul, he said he will not soon for
get this game.
“Stanford is definitely the most
physical team [we’ve faced],” Car
son said. “It’s going to take me a
day or two to recover from this
game.”
Rosemond finished as Oregon
leading scorer despite being held
scoreless in the second half.
“I just missed a couple of wide
open looks,” Rosemond said.
Despite his second-half futility,
Rosemond almost single-handed
ly kept the game dose in the first
half.
With Oregon down 16-7 and
the Cardinal threatening to run
away early, Rosemond hit a
three-pointer, which was an
swered by a Michael McDonald
jumper. Rosemond came back
with another three, then scored
his eighth straight point for Ore
gon on a layin before taking a
seat during a time out 30 sec
onds later.
“I was tired,” Rosemond said
with a grin. “It’s been awhile
since I played that much, so I was
tired.”
After trailing 40-35 at the half,
the Ducks closed to within three
on a three-pointer and layin by
Freddie Jones that made it 49-46.
That was as close as they would
get, however, as Stanford turned
it up a notch defensively to spark
its 13-3 run.
The Ducks finish their season
Saturday at McArthur Court
against California. The Bears beat
Oregon State on Thursday but
lost to Oregon earlier this season.
