Stanford’s Jacobsen Scores 41

Casey Jacobsen had 41 points and he and Curtis Borchardt combined to make five free throws in the final two minutes of overtime to lift No. 20 Stanford to a 90-87 victory over No. 13 Oregon on Thursday night at Palo Alto.

It was the second time in three games Jacobsen scored at least 40 points. He had 49 against Arizona State a week ago.

Stanford (14-6, 7-4 Pacific 10) was eight of 11 from the foul line in the overtime.

Borchardt had 24 points, 15 rebounds and five blocked shots.

Frederick Jones matched his career-high with 36 points as the Ducks (17-6, 9-3) had their three-game winning streak ended and fell to 3-5 on the road. He also had 10 rebounds. Luke Ridnour scored eight of his 18 points in overtime, while Luke Jackson had 17.

Robert Johnson also recorded a double-double with 10 points and 13 rebounds as Oregon lost to a ranked opponent for the first time this season.

A layup by Johnson put the Ducks ahead, 76-75, with 44 seconds remaining in regulation.

Stanford worked the clock down to 23 seconds before calling a timeout. The ball was inbounded to Jacobsen, who worked his way free for a shot that bounced off the front of the rim and Jones grabbed the rebound. He was immediately fouled.

After Jones made both free throws, the Cardinal couldn’t get the ball to Jacobsen. That left it up to Tony Giovacchini--Stanford’s only senior--who sank a three-pointer with four seconds left to tie it at 78.

Oregon couldn’t get off a shot before time expired in regulation.

Marked by stubborn play on both ends of the court, neither team could gain a stronghold.

Oregon opened a four-point lead four minutes into the second half on a three-pointer by Jones, but the Cardinal took the lead four minutes later when Jacobsen drove the lane twice in succession to put Stanford up, 47-45.

No. 1 Duke 80, Florida State 49--The Blue Devils avenged their only loss of the season with a victory over the Seminoles.

Duke (21-1, 9-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) rebounded from its worst half of the season-- 30.6% shooting and 14 turnovers--and pulled away by outscoring the Seminoles, 36-11, over the final 12:39 at Durham, N.C.

All-American guard Jason Williams had one of his worst games of the season for Duke. The ACC’s scoring leader (21.9) had seven points on three-for-13 shooting. Mike Dunleavy led Duke with 20 points.

Michael Joiner had 13 points for the Seminoles (10-11, 3-7), who beat Duke, 77-76, on Jan. 6.

No. 9 Gonzaga 84, Santa Clara 69--Dan Dickau scored 22 points at Santa Clara, the Bulldogs’ sixth straight win and 18th in 19 games.

Zach Gourde scored 16 points and Cory Violette added 14 for Gonzaga (21-3, 8-1 West Coast Conference), which scored 15 of the game’s final 22 points.

No. 11 Arizona 91, Washington 82--Salim Stoudamire had 14 of his 17 points in the second half at Tucson and Jason Gardner scored 11 of his 13 in the final 20 minutes for the Wildcats (16-6, 9-3 Pac-10).

No. 21 Illinois 68, Michigan 60--Brian Cook scored 19 points, including his team’s first 12, and the Illini (16-7, 5-5 Big Ten) ended a three-game losing streak by winning in an opponent’s gym for the first time this season.
