Matt is joined by Stanford Cardinal (9-8) reporters Jerry Feitelberg and Jeremy Harness on Thursday’s podcast. The injury to Stanford’s Reid Travis was a huge hit for the Cardinal as he missed out on two games both games at UCLA and USC. The Cardinal were on a four game losing streak until Travis returned against the Washington State Cougars (9-7) and helped out with 17 points Thursday night.

The Cardinal got lots of offensive help in the 30 point win over the Cougars 84-54 from Robert Cartwright who led the way with 21 points and Dorian Pickens with 18 points. The Cardinal had as much as a 25 point lead on the Cougars by half time and WSU looked like they wanted to toss in the towel and call for the mercy rule at that point.
