Oregon Ducks Dominate Stanford Cardinal

The Oregon Ducks continued their impressive run with a convincing 76-61 victory over the Stanford Cardinal. This matchup, held at the San Jose venue, showcased the Ducks' effective defensive strategy, particularly their full-court press.

Oregon's defensive pressure caused significant issues for the Stanford backcourt, leading to nine turnovers, most of which occurred in the first half. This disruption took Stanford out of their rhythm, as they are a team that relies heavily on offensive flow and ball movement.

A key matchup in the game was between Oregon's Nate Bittle and Stanford's Maxime Raynaud, both seven-footers with versatile skills. Raynaud had a standout performance with 20 points on 8-for-14 shooting from the field and 2-for-6 on three-pointers, along with 13 rebounds. This marked his tenth double-double of the season, the most in the nation.

- Top Performers:
- Maxime Raynaud (Stanford): 20 points, 13 rebounds
- Nate Bittle (Oregon): 9 points, 9 rebounds

The Ducks' victory highlights their strong defensive capabilities and their ability to adapt and execute effective game plans, as evident from Coach Dana Altman's strategic full-court press.
