Quotes of the Game
“I’m not sure if it’s
Stanford or what it is.
It’s just kind of *
coincidental, it always
just ends up being those
Bay-A re a teams. ”
Lindsey Dion
Junior forward from Fresno, Calif.
"/ have no idea. We
fouled to make her miss,
then she missed and we
get the ball back —
people just stand
around. It’s extremely
frustrating. The game
was a lot more than
that, but that was kind
of a microcosm.”
Tara VanDerveer
Stanfordhead coach on her team’s
breakdown with 4.1 seconds left
“Every garpe at this
point is the biggest
game. How do you eat
* an elephant? One bite at
a time. ”

Ducks best stand-still Cardinal
Oregon
makes up for
last month’s
collapse at
Stanford by
ensuring that
the Cardinal
pays for its
late-game
mistake
By Scott Pesznecker
Oregon Daily Emerald
Last month, Stanford embarrassed the
Ducks.
But last night, the Cardinal (14-6, 7-3 Pa
cific-10 Conference) embarrassed itself.
Trailing by two points with 4.9 seconds
to play, Stanford put Angelina Wolvert at
the foul line for a one-and-one penalty.
Wolvert was the perfect person to foul.
Although she had hit the crucial shot
down low to give the Ducks (16-6, 7-3) the
lead moments earlier, Wolvert was 4 of 11

Lindsey Dion sat in the interview room
in the basement of McArthur Court after
Oregon’s 61-57 win on Thursday night,
happy and headache-free for the first time
in a month.
If you don’t know, the junior from Fres
no, Calif., suffered a concussion at Califor
nia on Jan. 13. And so she had to sit and
watch the Stanford game two days later—a
tough task made excruciatingly tougher be
cause of what was happening on the floor.
She watched helplessly as her teammates
not only completely blew a 26-point first
half lead, but ran out of steam, got down
and lost by 16.
Not at all a typical Ducks’ performance.
But then, they were missing Dion.
They missed her defensive play at Stan
ford (14-6 overall, 7-3 Pac-10), for sure, but
what they especially missed were the
intangible elements: intelligence, calming
floor-presence, that kind of stuff.

Rowdy crowd
plays a role
in bringing
down
Stanford and
quieting
their smug
fans
By Jack Clifford
Oregon Daily Emerald
With 1:59 left in the bas
ketball game between Stan
ford and Oregon, the Ducks
led 57-55 and the pep band
began playing “Rocky” to
incite fans in attendance at
McArthur Court.
They should’ve offered
up Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will
Survive” for the Oregon
players, because that’s ex
actly what the, women’s
team did in pulling out a 61
57 win, sending the crowd
into a bit of a frenzy.
An understandable reac
tion since this was Stanford,
the renowned Stanford —
arguably the team that has
become Oregon’s biggest ri
val in women’s basketball.
“Because Stanford has al
ways been a national con
tender and we want to be at
that level, we have to beat
them,” Oregon graduate
Danielle Martwick said dur
ing halftime, when the
Ducks led 30-25.
Crowd noise no doubt
played a factor in the final
20 minutes, especially near
the end when a supposedly

Oregon needed its “A”
game.
It didn’t have it.
Stanford simply needed
to play its style of game.
And boy did they.
The second-ranked team
in the country didn’t dis
appoint a sold-out Maples
Pavilion crowd of 7,391
with an awesome display
of its unforgiving defense
and explosive offense.
The Cardinal’s Mark
Madsen won the opening
tap and scored on the
opening possession with a
powerful rebound basket.
The hard-nosed forward
gave Stanford (20-1 overall,
9-1 Pacific-10 Conference)
a lead it wouldn’t relin
quish in a wire-to-wire 76
6 victory over the No. 24
Ducks (16-5, 7-3).
“They’re the No. 2 team
in the nation for a reason
because they’re an excel
lent basketball team,” Ore
gon head coach Ernie Kent
said on KUGN. ‘-They
don’t allow you to play
your ‘A’ game unless you
really, really come up to
their level.”
The win is Stanford’s
eighth, in a row over Ore
gon and eighth in a row on
the season. Its only loss
came at home against Ari
zona, a team who they are
currently tied with for first
in what appears to now be
a two-way race for the
