Ducks leave seeing Cardinal red
In brief

The Ducks (13-9 overall, 4-6 Pacific-10 Conference) lost 72-43, their lowest point total since losing to Montana 78-39 on Nov. 22, 1991.
"That was the most embarrassing offensive show we've had all year," coach Ernie Kent said to reporters after the game.
Oregon shot 14-of-48 (29.2 percent) from the floor while Stanford went 27-of-55 (49.1 percent). The Cardinal had three starters reach double figures in and were led by center Robin Lopez's 15 points. Brook Lopez was swarmed at nearly every opportunity in the game and finished with 12 points and seven rebounds.
"We got our butts kicked in that ballgame," Kent said in a broadcast interview. "We gave them the opportunity to pound us and they pounded us."
Sophomore guard Tajuan Porter led the Ducks with 12 points and grabbed six rebounds. After Porter, no Oregon player scored more than six points.
"This was the worst loss I can remember since freshman year, when Stanford had Chris Hernandez and Matt Haryasz and they killed us," Malik Hairston said. "This game was shocking to us. They dominated us that much on the glass."

WOW, that was a major beat down last night. They had no answer for the Lopez twins.

Will the Ducks even make the big dance this year? It looks like only 2 more wins all year...against OSU and the Huskies. Is it time for EK to step down?

Wow, nice showing, why even make the trip? As much as I love watching the Ducks squander talent, and look silly, its time for Ernie"DaPimp" Kent to hit the bricks. (Continued…)
