February 22 at Maples Pavilion in Stanford, CA
ESPNU
Outstanding shooting night for Stanford, which made 57% of their shots and never trailed in a 79-66 win.
Not only was the offense playing at a high level - Reid Travis and Marcus Allen each scored 17 points and combined to hit 15 of their 22 field goals to lead the way - but the Cardinal defense had 13 steals and forced 21 turnovers.
Its been a miserable season for Oregon State and the Beavers couldn't capitalize on their first Pac 12 win over Utah last weekend and fell to 1-15 in league play and 5-24 overall. The good news for OSU is second-leading scorer Stephen Thompson, who scored a career-high 31 against the Utes but struggled Wednesday with just eight points on 3-of-11 shooting, post players Drew Eubanks and Gligorije Rakocevic, who didn't (combined 37 points), and Tres Tinkle, who was leading the team in scoring before suffering a wrist injury, are all sophomores.
Things should be better for the Beavers in 2017-2018.
* Meanwhile, color commentator Brad Daugherty is doing just fine this season. Daugherty said the word "basketball" a total of 46 times during the broadcast and he displayed the type of balance only the greats achieve: 24 times said in the first half, 22 in the second.
