Real nice win and good to let Ucla know that Stanford is still the big dog despite Ucla's rise in the past few years. Also good start to the ""revenge tour" for MBB too (other than we want to beat Ucla again).
Fairly straightforward though. If our team plays like it did in the first three quarters vs OSU and 3rd Q vs Ucla, we will beat Oregon. Play like we did in the 4th quarters in both games and Oregon wins.
What I saw vs OSU when we did well, lots of movement on offense with crisp, quick, accurate passes. and good spacing. And obviously good shooting makes a difference. On D, it was the first time that this year that I saw such urgency and tight defense, denying passes, challenging shots, and swarming in general. They largely carried it over into the Ucla game, especially on defense, just not as much energy which could be expected being the second game in two days. But when we stand around on O and our PG spends most of the shot clock dribbling around (and worse when we don't watch the shot clock), the O goes flat. Bad D when we don't pressure.
So we will see which team shows up
