01/18/2007 - Eugene, OR (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The ninth-ranked Oregon Ducks are an explosive scoring team, and they will attempt to cruise past the Stanford Cardinal in Pac-10 Conference action.
Three straight victories have enabled the Cardinal to improve to 11-4 overall and 3-2 in Pac-10 play. On Saturday, Stanford exhibited a great deal of toughness in a 71-68 overtime victory over Washington State. The Cardinal is 3-1 in true road games thus far, so don't expect the squad to be intimidated by the Eugene faithful.
Oregon which is 10-1 at home and 16-1 overall, has posted three consecutive wins since suffering its only loss of the season to USC. The three wins during the current run have all come over league opponents by five or fewer points, including a 79-77 decision over Arizona on the road on Sunday.
Keep in mind that Stanford holds a commanding 83-41 lead in the all-time series with Oregon, including seven straight wins over the Ducks.
The Cardinal is averaging 70.2 ppg this season while allowing 66.1 ppg to opponents, and the differential of 4.1 ppg is not very large for a team that owns an 11-4 overall record. The last three wins have been decided by a total of five points, proof that Stanford is more than capable of winning close games. Lawrence Hill leads the team with 15.1 ppg on 54.0 percent shooting from the field, and Anthony Goods checks in with 13.5 ppg. Robin Lopez rounds out the double-digit scorers with 10.8 ppg, and he is pulling down a team-high 6.7 rpg as well. Also impressive is the fact that the seven-foot freshman center has blocked 35 shots, accounting for more than half of the team's total of 68 rejections. Goods was the hero in the win over Washington State, as he nailed a long three-pointer with just over three seconds remaining in overtime that proved to be the difference. He finished that contest with a career-high 30 points.
Five players are averaging double figures in scoring for Oregon, which is netting 80.4 ppg while limiting opponents to 64.0 ppg. The Ducks have forced 301 turnovers in 17 games, an obvious key to their success. Aaron Brooks leads the team with 18.2 ppg, 77 assists and 29 steals, while Bryce Taylor adds 16.2 ppg on 53.1 percent shooting from the floor, including 42.6 percent from three-point range. Malik Hairston adds 14.0 ppg to the mix, and Tajuan Porter brings 12.7 ppg to the court. As for Maarty Leunen, who rounds out the group with 11.9 ppg, he is tops on the boards with 10.2 rpg. Brooks and Taylor both scored 21 points in the thrilling win over Arizona last time out. Hairston managed 18 points and eight rebounds against the Wildcats, and Leunen finished with 14 points and 14 boards. The Ducks compiled 17 assists against nine turnovers and nailed 13-of-26 three-pointers, two obvious keys to victory.
