	It is always Brook Lopez that gets the headlines, especially after his fantastic start this season; however there is the other Lopez twin that is not that bad himself. Robin Lopez scored 15 points, grabbed six rebounds and added two blocks, as the ninth ranked Stanford Cardinal simply manhandled the Oregon Ducks 72-43 at Maples Pavilion. Lawrence Hill made it back-to-back productive games, as he hit four three-pointers on his way to 13 points in the 29-point Cardinal victory. The other half of the twins, Brook scored 12 points, grabbed seven rebounds and blocked five shots. Senior Fred Washington grabbed nine rebounds, as the Cardinal played their first game as a member of the top 10 since the 2003-2004 season, when they finished number one in the final polls. However the Cardinal ended tumultuously, when the Alabama Crimson Tide stunned the number one seeded Cardinal 70-67 at Key Arena in Seattle. That loss would be the final college in the 18-year career of then head coach Mike Montgomery, who would become the head coach of the Golden State Warriors that May after the firing of Warriors head coach Eric Musselman.
