McPhee helps No. 24 Stanford upset No. 6 Oregon 78-65
EUGENE, Ore. (AP) – Brittany McPhee scored 31 of her career-high 33 points in the second half to lead No. 24 Stanford to a 78-65 upset of No. 6 Oregon on Sunday.
McPhee had the last 19 points for the Cardinal (16-8, 10-2 Pac-12), who now share the conference lead with the Ducks (21-4, 10-2). Alaina Smith and Kiana Williams each had 14 points.
Stanford, the last visitor to win in Eugene, snapped Oregon’s 14-game home winning streak.
Sabrina Ionescu led the Ducks with 22 points, seven rebounds and seven assists. Ruthy Hebard added 16 points and Satou Sabally had 14.
Oregon went scoreless over the final 5:08 of the game.
McPhee had 12 points in a 20-7 run as Stanford wiped out a nine-point halftime deficit to lead 52-48 in the third quarter.
Hebard and Ionescu accounted for 26 points as Oregon took a 41-32 lead in the first half. The Ducks had 13 second-chance points at the break.
BIG PICTURE
Oregon still hasn’t solved its Stanford problem, having lost 24 of 25 to the Cardinal. The Ducks, projected as a No. 2 seed for the NCAA Tournament, finish the Pac-12 season with four of six on the road, and one of the home games is against No. 9 UCLA.
Stanford reasserts itself in the Pac-12 with the road sweep of No. 16 Oregon State and No. 6 Oregon. The Cardinal are now 4-7 against ranked teams.
