Thanks to a big day from Oscar da Silva, Stanford snapped its three-game Pac-12 losing streak in resounding fashion, as the Cardinal upset No. 11 Oregon 70-60 Saturday at Maples Pavilion.

It was a career day for da Silva, who bagged 27 points and 15 rebounds — 17 of his points and 11 of his rebounds came in the second half. Tyrell Terry added 12 points for the Cardinal (16-5 overall, 5-3 Pac-12).

Da Silva scored 20 or more points for the sixth time this season and the 10th time in his career. His effort against the Ducks was his sixth career double-double.

Oregon (18-5 overall, 7-3 Pac-12) was leading 44-35 with 14:30 to play, then Stanford held the Ducks without a field goal over the next 10 minutes. The Cardinal went on a 15-1 run, including Terry’s go-ahead 3-pointer, to surge ahead 59-50.

The Ducks were held to 6 of 30 field goal shooting in the second half, and turned in a season-low 32.8 percent shot percentage. Oregon was also outrebounded for the fifth time in its last six games.

Stanford, meanwhile, shot 50 percent from the field and was 13 of 17 at the foul line in the second half.

Will Richardson led Oregon with 17 points. Payton Pritchard was next for the Ducks with 16 points, and Chris Duarte had 14. Pritchard also notched his 200th career steal, second all-time in Oregon history.

The Cardinal hit the road next week, traviling to Utah on Thursday.

Oregon State snapped its four-game losing streak in stunning fashion on Thursday, as the Beavers upended Stanford 68-63 in Pac-12 men’s basketball at Maples Pavilion.

Freshman Jarod Lucas scored a career-high 21 points — 17 in the first half — for the visiting Beavers (13-8 overall, 3-6 Pac-12). Tres Tinkle and Ethan Thompson added 15 and 14 points, respectively, for Oregon State. Senior Kylor Kelley added 10 points, six rebounds and seven blocked shots.

The road victory gives Oregon State three Pac-12 wins over Top 20 NCAA NET-ranked teams — No. 11 Arizona, No. 16 Stanford and No. 17 Colorado. It was Stanford’s third straight conference defeat.

OSU led by as many as 13 points in the second half, holding off a couple l of late Cardinal rallies before salting the game away at the free throw line.

Stanford pulled to within 49-48 on a Tyrell Terry layup at 11:39 of the second half. The Beavers responded with a 12-point run to build their biggest lead.

Then, the Cardinal went on a five-minute, 11-0 run, cutting their deficit to two. OSU got a layup by Tinkle and a Lucas free throw to build its lead back to five with less than two minutes to play.

The Beavers led 64-61 with 30 seconds to play and Terry missed a potential game-tying 3-pointer. Free throws by Zach Reichle, Thompson and Tinkle in the final 20 seconds extended OSU’s lead.

Oregon State outscored the Cardinal 15-3 over the final 4:05.

Oscar da Silva led Stanford (15-5, 4-3) with 22 points and eight rebounds. Terry scored 13 points, and Daejon Davis added 12.

Paris Austin sank two free throws with 3.2 seconds to play, giving California a 52-50 Pac-12 men’s basketball victory over Stanford at Haas Pavilion.

Austin led the Golden Bears with 15 points, followed by Matt Bradley with 14, and Kareem South with 13. Cal (9-10 overall, 3-3 Pac-12)

For Stanford, it was the Cardinal’s second straight loss as they dropped from first place in the conference. Oscar da Silva led the Cardinal (15-4, 4-2) with 13 points and seven rebounds.

The Bears trailed by 11 with 12 minutes remaining in the second half before going on a 6 1/2-minute, 17-2 run. During that run, Austin had six points. Before his game-winning free throws, Austin had made one of two at the line and a 3-pointer.

Stanford nearly regained the lead on its final possession. Bryce Wills nearly scored at the buzzer, but his basket was waived off by the officials. A brief review convinced officials to uphold the original call, and Cal had its third straight home win.

It’s the fifth consecutive season that Cal and Stanford split their two games. The Cardinal lost despite holding a 30-18 advantage in scoring in the paint and a slight 33-32 rebounding edge.

This Thursday, Stanford hosts Oregon State at Maples Pavilion, while Cal hosts No. 12 Oregon at Haas Pavilion.

On the Stanford podcast with Jerry F:

#1 Jerry the Cardinal (15-3) took a took loss to USC (15-3) last Saturday as USC is a tough building to play in

#2 Try as they may the top scorer for Stanford Oscar da Silva came up with 21 points but da Silva has been consistent

#3 Jerry you also have to like Spencer Jones he came in second in Stanford scoring with 18. The Cardinal are proving potent on offense but USC was a tougher customer.

#4 Jerod Haase coached a great game even though Stanford didn’t get the win with the Cardinal dominating in the first half 45-25.

#5 In spite of the Cal Bears record could all the stats and what’s on paper go out the window and the Bears who are hosting Stanford make a game of this one on Sunday?
