Stanford easily gets past Oregon

This time, it was Robin Lopez’s turn to shine. And it never hurts his chances when opponents pay more attention to his 7-foot twin brother in the paint.

Robin Lopez had 15 points, six rebounds and two blocks and No. 9 Stanford jumped to an early lead and defeated Oregon, 72-43, on Thursday night at Stanford for its sixth consecutive victory.

Lawrence Hill had his second consecutive productive outing with 13 points, including four three-point shots, after a slow start this season. Robin Lopez led the team in scoring this time instead of his twin brother, Brook.

“A lot of teams, rightfully so, are starting to pay a lot of attention to Brook,” Robin said. “He’s had a great first half of Pac-10 play. He’s opening the lane for me.”

Brook Lopez, swarmed each time he touched the ball, still had 12 points, seven rebounds and five blocked shots. The sophomore 7-footer had been the top scorer in Stanford’s previous seven games and came in having shot 23 for 41 -- 56% -- in his first three meetings against Oregon.

Hill followed an 18-point performance Saturday at Washington State with another solid outing as Stanford, 19-3 overall and 8-2 in the Pacific 10 Conference, won easily at Maples Pavilion to avenge a loss last month at Oregon.

Tajuan Porter scored 12 points and grabbed six rebounds to lead cold-shooting Oregon (13-9, 4-6), which is 4-7 on the road and hasn’t won away from home since an 84-74 victory at Arizona on Jan. 5.

California 81, Oregon State 76 -- Ryan Anderson scored 22 points to become the first sophomore at California to reach the 1,000 mark, leading the Bears (14-7, 5-5) past the Beavers (6-16, 0-10) at Berkeley.

Oregon State managed to make this one tough for Cal before losing its 12th in a row.

Marcel Jones’ three-point play midway through the second half capped a 9-1 run that gave the Beavers a 62-60 lead.

Cal’s Nikola Knezevic made a three-point shot from the corner with 2:16 left to make it 73-68. The Bears scored the next five points to put the game away.
