Player of the Game
Stanford’s David Moseley, a
junior guard, helped keep
the Ducks at bay with four
timely three-pointers and a
team-high 20 points in 28
minutes.
Quote of the Game
“That crowd took us to
another level. If we can
bring all of them back and
continue to build off them,
as well as grow as a team,
we’re going to have an
awesome season.”

es a game of it, but the
5 to be too strong and
ling Saturday 85-71
By Jeff Smith
Oregon Daily Emerald
Lines began forming as
early as 4:30 p.m. — two
and-a-half hours before tip
off — outside the McArthur
Court doors on Saturday.
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.

victory in front of Oregon’s

Bryan Bracey and the Ducks can’t find a way around a tough Stanford team at Mac Court.

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.

“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.
Maybe it was that vaunt
ed Maples’ mystique —
