Michael Humphrey blocked a shot with four seconds remaining Saturday and Stanford held on to upset No. 11 Oregon, 76-72, at Palo Alto.

Marcus Allen hit two free throws with three seconds to go to seal the win for the Cardinal, which ended a season-worst four-game losing streak.

Dillon Brooks scored 18 of his 24 points in the second half for the Ducks (20-6, 9-4 Pac-12), who lost at California on Thursday night.

Rosco Allen matched his career high with 25 points to lead Stanford (12-11, 5-7). Dorian Pickens scored 10 of his 16 points in the second half and Grant Verhoeven finished with a career-high 13 for the Cardinal.

The Ducks, who came to the Bay Area riding a six-game winning streak, erased a 67-56 deficit with less than five minutes to play, pulling even at 72-72 with 51.8 seconds left. Tyler Dorsey had 14 points and Elgin Cook added 11 for Oregon.

at Colorado 81, Washington 80: Wesley Gordon scored a career-high 17 points and grabbed a crucial rebound in the final seconds to help the Buffaloes overcome fatigue and a furious Huskies rally at Boulder, Colo.

Colorado (19-7, 8-5 Pac-12) looked surprisingly fresh even after Thursday’s double-overtime victory over Washington State, in which several Buffaloes players set career highs in minutes.

George King had 10 points and 10 rebounds for Colorado, which nearly squandered a 17-point lead. Big man Josh Scott was on the bench for a second straight game because of a sprained left ankle.

Marquese Chriss and Andrew Andrews each had 18 points for the Huskies (15-10, 7-6), who’ve lost three in a row. Andrews had a good look at a potential game-winning shot with five seconds left, but it rimmed out and Gordon grabbed the rebound.

at California 83, Oregon State 71: Jabari Bird had 23 points and seven rebounds to lead four Cal players in double figures, helping the Golden Bears improve to 16-0 on their home court this season. Tyrone Wallace scored 17 points, including seven free throws over the final two minutes to offset an otherwise sloppy day at the line for the Bears, who missed 18 of 44 attempts.

Coming off a blowout of No. 11 Oregon two days earlier, the Bears (17-8, 7-5 Pac-12) blew most of a 15-point lead in the second half before holding on for their 17th consecutive win at Haas Pavilion dating to last season.

Tres Tinkle had 22 points and five rebounds for Oregon State (15-9, 6-7).
