If & When ...
If Stanford beats Oregon, that would extend the Cardinal's winning streak over the Ducks to eleven games at Maples Pavilion. If Stanford beats Oregon, that would put Mike Montgomery only 11 wins short of becoming Stanford's all-time winningest men's basketball coach. If Stanford beats Oregon, that would give the Cardinal an 19-3 record over Pac-10 schools at Maples Pavilion over the last three seasons. If Tim Young sinks three free throws, he would move from 10th to eighth place on the career free throw list. If Arthur Lee dishes out two or more assists, that would move him from sixth place to fifth place on the school's career assists list. When Mark Seaton enters the game tonight, it will be his 100th appearance in his four year Cardinal career.
