Game Twelve
Stanford 68, Oregon State 48

Corvallis, OR - Stanford, playing its first game without the services of injured forward Mark Madsen, put together one of its best efforts in defeating Oregon State, 68-48, in the Pac-10 opener for both schools.

Oregon State was held to only 14 points and nine percent shooting in the first half. The Beavers did not score their first basket until 12:46 of the first half. The Cardinal held its biggest lead, 50-27, with 11:47 left in the game. Peter Sauer led Stanford with 14 points and a career-high 12 rebounds. Arthur Lee hit 12-of-13 free throw attempts.

Game Eighteen
Stanford 74, Washington 72
January 24, 1998, Hec Edmundson Pavilion

Seattle, WA - In one of the most dramatic finishes in recent Stanford basketball history, Stanford scored a 74-72 victory over Washington. The Huskies had taken a 72-71 lead with 5.1 seconds to play. Washington took a timeout to set its defense. However, on the ensuing inbound pass, Kris Weems took the ball, raced up the court and fired a long three-point attempt at the buzzer. The ball sailed through the net, and Stanford raced off the court with the two-point win. Stanford led the entire first half, including a 28-17 lead with 7:07 on the clock. Stanford stretched its lead to 12 points, 52-40, with 15:39 to play before the Huskies mounted their comeback. UW outscored the Cardinal 28-15 over the next 14:07 to take a 68-67 lead. The lead changed hands five times in the final 1:57. All five Stanford starters scored in double figures led by Arthur Lee with 17 points. Tim Young collected 14 points and 12 rebounds. Donald Watts led UW with 22 points.
