STANFORD, Calif. — Even
though Stanford has been buried in
the lower half of the Pac-12 stand-
ings all season, Reid Travis isn’t so
sure his team is an underdog against
No. 6 Oregon.
That might be a stretch consid-
ering the Ducks are making a run at
the conference title but that didn’t
seem to matter to Travis.
“The way we’re playing now
is great for this time of year,” Tra-
vis said following Stanford’s 79-66
win over Oregon State on Wednes-
day. “I feel like we’re really taking
off. Even though our record doesn’t
refl ect it I really do feel that we’re
one of the top teams so take that as
you want to.”
Travis had 17 points and eight
rebounds to lead four players in dou-
ble fi gures. Marcus Allen also scored
17, Dorian Pickens added 15 and
Robert Cartwright had 10 as the Car-
dinal beat the Beavers for the 21st
time in the last 23 games between
the two teams at Maples Pavilion.
UP NEXT: BEAVERS
• Oregon State Beavers (5-24)
at California Golden Bears (18-9)
• Friday, 8 p.m. TV: FS1
Stanford (14-13, 6-9 Pac-12)
led by as many as 25 but had to
hold on after Oregon State (5-24,
1-15) pulled within 74-63 with
3:28 left on JaQuori McLaughlin’s
3-pointer.
Allen and Pickens scored back-
to-back buckets for Stanford, and
after Stephen Thompson’s putback
for Oregon State, Pickens made a
3-pointer.
“We’re pointing in the right
direction on both ends of the fl oor,”
Allen said. “Guys are getting good
looks . and on defense we’re more
active. Hopefully that continues.”
Drew Eubanks had 21 points
and 14 rebounds for Oregon State.
Gligorije Rakocevic added a sea-
son-high 16 points for the Beavers,
who couldn’t follow up after beat-
ing Utah last week for their fi rst
conference win of the season.
BERKELEY, Calif. — Game-win-
ning shots are becoming old hat for
Oregon’s Dillon Brooks. Doing it on
the road to silence a partisan crowd
was a bit of a change.
Brooks hit a 3-pointer with 0.2 sec-
onds to play to cap a comeback from
16 points down and No. 6 Oregon beat
California 68-65 on Wednesday night
to keep its hopes alive for a Pac-12
title.
Brooks had previously hit
game-winning 3-pointers to beat Ten-
nessee in the Maui Invitational and
UCLA at home in December before
pulling off the trick once again to stun
the Golden Bears.
“Especially on the road it feels so
good,” he said. “You look at every sin-
gle crowd member out there and look
at them look down at themselves.
They thought they had the game and
we stole it from them.”
The Ducks (25-4, 14-2) trailed by
16 points early in the second half and
were down 10 with just over 4 minutes
left before rallying for the win that
moved them a half-game behind Ari-
zona for fi rst place in the conference.
Oregon holds the tiebreaker.
Brooks led the Ducks with 22
points and Chris Boucher added 18.
“We’re trying to fi ght for the Pac-
12 fi rst seed,” Brooks said. “We would
have been really sick if we lost this.”
Jabari Bird scored 20 points to
lead the way for the Bears (18-9, 9-6),
whose hopes for an NCAA Tourna-
ment berth were dealt a big blow with
this loss.
“Obviously if we had won it, it
would have been a signature win for
us, what we’ve been looking for,” Bird
said. “It’s an uphill battle. It’s going to
be tough getting to the tournament, but
we can do it.”

Cal’s 10-point lead to one with just
under 3 minutes left. Boucher then
gave the Ducks their fi rst lead of the
game with a layup that made it 62-61
with 1:48 to go.
Grant Mullins and Brooks traded
jumpers before Bird missed a con-
tested 3-pointer with 28 seconds to go.
Tyler Dorsey hit one free throw before
Ivan Rabb tied the game with a put-
back of his own miss with 9.7 seconds
to play.
That set the stage for Brooks, who
hit the 3 that set off a wild celebration
for the Ducks.
