	With Lawrence Hill leading the way, the Stanford Cardinal did something on Saturday that was not seen on the Stanford campus since the 2003-2004 season. By defeating the Oregon State Beavers 71-56 at Maples Pavilion, the Cardinal won their 20th game of the season. This is the first time since the departure of Mike Montgomery, when the Cardinal went 30-2 that season that they have won 20 games in a season. Hill scored 14 points, as the Cardinal swept both the Beavers and the Ducks at Maples Pavilion for the 15th consecutive season. On the other hand, things have gone from bad to worse for the Beavers. After the firing of head coach Jay John, the Beavers have gone 0-5 under interim head coach Kevin Mouton and have lost 13 consecutive games overall. Brook Lopez added 14 points for the Cardinal, who have won seven games in a row.
