Battling No. 13 Oregon (24-7, 13-5 Pac-12) is a challenge, but Stanford men's basketball (20-11, 9-9 Pac-12) handled the Ducks in Maples on Feb. 1. Battling Oregon on its home court in front of a packed Matthew Knight Arena on Senior Night is another story.

Having four players in double figures lifted Stanford men's basketball (20-10, 9-8 Pac-12) over Colorado at home last week, but failed to produce the same outcome against Oregon State (12-13, 6-11 Pac-12) on Thursday. Snapping a four-game win streak--and marking the first time the Cardinal has been swept by the Beavers in over a decade--Stanford fell 68-65.

Only two games remain on the regular-season agenda for Stanford men's basketball (20-9, 9-7), both of which come as part of this week's road trip north. Oregon State will be the first stop on Thursday, with No. 13 Oregon (22-7, 11-5 Pac-12) closing out the trip on Saturday.

With Stanford men's basketball (20-9, 9-7 Pac-12) leading Colorado (21-9, 10-7) by just three and over three minutes of play remaining, whether or not the Cardinal would secure a victory on Senior Day remained undetermined.

•

Big contributions from Stanford men's basketball's Tyrell Terry and Oscar da Silva are anything but uncommon. Twenty-point nights from the freshman guard or junior forward are a slightly more rare.

With the win, the Cardinal concluded a road sweep of the Washington teams and picked up consecutive victories for the first time since opening conference play 4-0 in early January.

•

Stanford men's basketball (17-9, 6-7 Pac-12) was swept at home last week by Arizona State and Arizona, but a trip to Seattle was just what the team needed to snap its four-game losing streak.

•

Though its recent road trip to the mountains brought two losses to Stanford men's hoops (16-7, 5-5 Pac-12), chances for the Cardinal to bounce back from the defeats come Thursday and Saturday, when the teams from Arizona visit the Farm.

However, a slow start by the Cardinal got in the way once again, and Stanford fell to the Beavers 68-63.
