When will the Oregon Ducks finally break the losing streak, and win at Maples Pavilion?
The streak now stands at 21, after the Stanford Cardinal defeated the 17th ranked Ducks 88-69 before a sellout crowd at Maples.
Brook Lopez led the Cardinal with a career high 26 points, while Lawrence Hill added 15 to help the Cardinal to sweep of the Oregon schools.
Once again, Mitch Johnson played a fantastic game in place of the injured Anthony Goods, who is still out nursing that sprained ankle, as the sophomore from Seattle scored 12.
Kenny Brown came up huge as well, as the sophomore added 11 in helping balance out the scoring for the Cardinal, who have won two in a row after being swept last weekend at Washington State and Washington.
Senior Fred Washington added 12, but that was the big news for the senior out of Bishop Montgomery High in Compton.
The NCAA granted Washington another year of eligibility, after Washington played in just five games during the 2005-2006 season.
Washington missed nearly all of the season due to a patella (kneecap) injury to his left knee.
Aaron Brooks led the Ducks with 26 points, as he passed current Golden State Warriors analyst Jim Barnett into 11th place on the all-time list.
Barnett played for the Ducks from 1963-1966 before moving onto the NBA.
