PALO ALTO–The Stanford Cardinal (9-5) got a key win against a very furious win over the Oregon State Beavers 78-72 after dropping a razor edge close game against the Colorado Buffaloes 56-55. Had the Cardinal lost that game they would have been 1-2 in the Pac 12 Conference now there 2-1.

The Cardinal are headed to Knight Arena at the campus of the University of Oregon for Sunday’s game with the Ducks (12-3). The Cardinal are in for a very difficult battle Sunday it would have been nice if they had a chance to come back and beat Colorado.

The Cardinal are doing alright in the conference and are 9-5 for the season and hopefully they’ll do as well in Eugene they’re playing a very difficult Oregon Ducks team who are some nine game over .500 and playing very well.
