IN FOCUS
It gets no easier for the Cardinal, which on Thursday faces a UCLA team desperate to win after three losses in its past four games. The Bruins massacred the Cardinal 97-63 at Pauley Pavilion last month, scoring at will off turnovers forced by its defense. Stanford has dropped five straight to UCLA, its longest drought in the series losing nine in a row from 1991 through '95.
ROSTER REPORT
--Freshman Jeremy Green scored a career-high 19 points, all of them in the second half, in the loss at Oregon State. He was rewarded with a start against Oregon, but was scoreless in 20 minutes.
--Senior G Anthony Goods was scoreless on 0-for-3 shooting at Oregon State. It was the first time he'd been held without a point since his freshman season. That performance cost him a spot in the starting lineup against Oregon, but he came off the bench to score 16 points, his highest point total since logging 20 vs. Oregon on Jan. 22.
--Hot-and-cold senior F Lawrence Hill scored just three points and shot 1-for-5 shooting at OSU, then had 18 points and five rebounds against Oregon.
