Oregon Ducks Take Three-Game Winning Streak To Stanford
The Oregon Ducks(15-7, 5-4 Pac-12) take a three-game Pac-12 winning streak into Maples Pavillion to take on the Stanford Cardinal1(12-11, 6-4 Pac-12) on Saturday.
While the Oregon Ducks have worked on trying to figure out their identity this season, the Cardinal is aware of theirs, but it has not been on the floor due to injuries. The Ducks have leaned on their Senior Leadership for a good part of their games on the road this season with Elijah Brown and MiKyle McIntosh leading the way. McIntosh had a double-double against California on Thursday night.
Freshman Troy Brown had his best game on the road against Cal and will look to have similar success against Stanford. Oregon Sophomore Payton Pritchard has become a better leader of late, pushing the Ducks to a win over UCLA last weekend 94-91. He hit key free-throws to seal the win for Oregon. He has also become more vocal on the floor over the last month.
Stanford lost a lot of momentum in the non-conference slate with injuries to key players. They are back now and have the Cardinal back on a positive pace and a 6-4 Pac-12 mark. Reid Travis is the player to watch. He helped Stanford to a win over Oregon State Thursday and a 5-1 Pac-12 start. Travis did not play last season due to injury but has regained his form. He posted 24 points and 9 rebounds vs the Beavers.
