Men's continued from page 7 category. The Ducks were out-re bounded 45-26 by the Cardinal. Stanford’s victory over Oregon was its third in three tries against ranked opponents this season. The Cardinal moved to 11-4 over all and 2-1 in the Pac-10 with the victory.

The Ducks also failed to break their Maples Pavilion curse. Oregon hasn’t won at Maples since 1986. “We’ve had success in every other environment but this one,” said Kent, a former Stanford assis tant coach. Of course, Stanford might have something to do with that. The Car dinal shot exactly 50 percent from the field but went ll-for-19, or 57.9 percent, from three-point land. Julius Barnes led the way for Stan ford with 17 points, and four Cardi nal players scored more than 13. Center Rob Little was a presence in side as he came up with three of Stanford’s eight blocks and pulled down nine rebounds. Stanford also played lock-down defense on most of the Oregon team, especially Luke Jackson, who scored a season-low seven points. Jackson was guarded for most of the night by Nick Robinson, a sopho more forward starting for the first time in his career after junior Justin Davis went down with an injury. “Not to take anything away from Stanford, but I thought that was more Luke Jackson shutting down Luke Jackson,” Kent said. “But we’re going to sit down and look at some things, and he’s a smart enough player where he’ll be able to learn from this.” Kent is hoping his team is smart enough to learn from two blowout losses in three days. “Sometimes you need to get slapped upside the head in order to come back stronger,” Kent said.

The Cardinal hit 11-of-19 three-pointers in their 81-57 win. Kent is also trying to shake things up — slapping his team up side the head? — by switching his lineups around. For Saturday’s contest, he replaced the struggling James Davis and Brian Helquist with Andre Joseph and Matt Short in the starting lineup. Joseph had eight points and seven rebounds in 33 minutes, while Short also had eight points but fouled out of the game. “I’m jacked up, I’ll probably be jacked up for awhile,” Joseph said of starting for the first time. “But this isn’t a one-man team. We just got to play better as a team.” In the end, the word that came up the most after the game was “toughness.” “Both those teams were tougher, more physical than us,” Kent said. “It’s a matter of getting tough,” Short said. “We’re just getting out-toughed,” Ridnour said.
