As the Batman-like spot light shined above into the dark sky, fans prepared themselves for a Pacific-10 Conference basketball game between Oregon and the No. 3 Stanford in which they were certain to play a major role. And boy did they. It’s just that the Ducks happened to be playing the one team with enough poise to overcome the deafening noise generated by the sold out crowd of9,087, as Stan ford came away with the 85 71 win. “Our crowd has always been great and they were awesome tonight,” said sen ior forward A.D. Smith, who knocked down two first-half free throws to be come the 10th player in Ore gon history to record 1,000 points and 500 rebounds. “It was probably the best I’ve seen in my time here. It’s a shame that we let them down like this, but if there is any team in the confer ence that wouldn’t get rat tled, it’s [Stanford).” The loss dropped the Ducks to 11-3 overall and 2 1 in Pac-10 play, and pro pelled Stanford to a mark of 14-1,3-1. The Cardinal’s 14-point victory in front of Oregon’s first sellout crowd of the year was nowhere near in Tum to Basketball, page 13A ■ The Ducks’ prove to be no match for Stanford’s interior post play in the Cardinal’s hard-earned victory Saturday night Jeffrey Stockton Emerald Bryan Bracey and the Ducks can’t find a way around a tough Stanford team at Mac Court. By Brett Williams Oregon Daily Emerald Mark Madsen has been a staple for Stanford in recent years. The preseason All-American’s clutch play has led his team to three NCAA Tournament berths in his three years with the team—includ ing a Final Four appearance. Considering all this, Oregon knew it had to contain Madsen on Satur day night if it was to have any chance ofknockingofftheNo. 3 Cardinal, The Ducks, however, were un able to slow Stanford’s other post threats, the two-headed Collins combination. Oregon held Madsen to just four points and made him a non-factor, but twin brothers Jarron and Jason Collins burned the Ducks for a com bined 27 points in the Cardinal’s 85-71 victory. Turn to Men, page 13A Women lose momentum, lead, ranking The Ducks fall victim to a bewildering comeback at Stanford, as the Cardinal puts together a 46 point swing to beat Oregon 78 62 By Mirjam Swanson Oregon Daily Emerald “Momentum into the millennium” boasts the cover of the Stanford women’s basketball media guide. No kidding. Because when the mo mentum shifted in favor of the now-No. 25 Cardinal (10-4 overall, 3-1 Pacific-10 Conference) and away from Oregon (11-4,2-1) Saturday in Palo Alto, Calif., there was no stopping it, no get ting out of its way and, last ly, no win at Maples Pavil ion for the defending Pac-10 champs. After thoroughly domi nating most of the first half, the now-unranked Ducks couldn’t hold a 26-point lead, eventually getting doused by 16,78-62 in front of3,345 fans. That£ a 42-point swing in less than 24 minutes. The efficiency of the turn around was astounding. The magnitude of it un matched in the history of the Stanford program.
