On the Stanford Cardinal basketball podcast the Cardinal 11-11 got some relief on Saturday with a 76-72 win over Oregon last Saturday after coming off a four game loss streak. The Cardinal who lost four straight to Colorado, Utah, Cal and at home to the Oregon State Beavers wanted badly to get back in the win column at home at Maple Pavilion.

The Cardinal got the relief they were looking for with a 76-72 win from an Oregon Ducks team that came into Maples after losing a 13 point thrashing to the Cal Bears the previous Thursday. The Cardinal controlled most of the game and had three players in double figures Rosco Allen (25), Dorian Pickens (16), and Grant Verhoeven (13).

The Cardinal get ready for a two game roadie and for head coach Johnny Dawkins whose job status is in the rumor mill needs these two wins at WSU on Thursday and in Washington on Saturday. Dawkins pulled off the impossible on Saturday with a win over Oregon and he has to do it again against the Courgars and Huskies.
