Oregon Ducks Look To Keep Pace In The Pac-12 vs Stanford
The Oregon Ducks have not had much luck in the Bay Area in the Dana Altman Era and will look for another win vs Stanford on Saturday.
Dillon Brooks is not afraid to have the ball in his hands for the final shot. Win or lose, the attention does not bother him and so far this season he has beaten both UCLA and Cal with last second shots. The Oregon Ducks are pushing for a possible number one seed in both the Pac-12 and NCAA Tournament, but they have to take care of business which includes a game at Stanford on Saturday afternoon.
