8 Pacific-10 Conference Statistics & Honors The Pac-10 Review UCLA captured both the Pac-10 regular season title and the Pac-10 Tournament crown en route to a school record-typing 32 victories. The Bruins excelled in the postseason, reaching the NCAA Championship game before falling to Florida. UCLA was the first Pac-10 team to reach the NCAA Final Four since Arizona did so in 2001 In all, the Pac-10 had four teams participate in the NCAA Tournament ARIZONA, CALIFORNA, UCLA AND WASHINGTON. In addition to UCLA s climb to the Final Four, Washington reached the Sweet 16 for the second consecutive season Defenses dominated the Pac-10 this season. For the third year in a row, WASHINGTON STATE led the Pac-10 in scoring defense, allowing a league-low 57.7 points per game. UCLA allowed just 58.7 points per game during its 12-game winning steak on the way to the NCAA Championship game. In all, each Pac-10 team held the opposition to an average of 70.0 points per game or less. It was the first time all 10 Conference teams accomplished the feat in the same season. The previous best was five teams allowing an average of 70 or fewer points per game in 1986 and 1987 WASHINGTON s Brandon Roy, the Pac-10 Player of the Year, was a consensus First Team All-American, while CALIFORNIA s Leon Powe was a consensus Second Team All-American.

9 Boxscores Game One UC Irvine 79, Stanford 63 November 19, 2005 Maples Pavillion STANFORD, Calif. (AP) Ross Schraeder scored 19 points and UC Irvine used an impressive shooting performance and hustle to shock No. 13 Stanford in the Cardinal s season-opener Saturday. Shamar Armstrong scored six straight points in the final 3:19, and the Anteaters took advantage of a significant height advantage to pound the ball inside at every opportunity against a Stanford squad missing starting forward Matt Haryasz after he sprained his ankle in practice Friday. Darren Fells added 18 points, nine rebounds, five assists and two blocks for UC Irvine (2-1), which beat Stanford for the first time in six meetings between the schools. Stanford, picked to finish second in the Pac-10 behind Arizona, beat the Anteaters in in December 2002 and again the following season on the road. Stanford cut the lead to on Grunfeld s basket with 3:55 left, then Armstrong hit a tough 3-pointer on the other end. On the next trip down, Armstrong converted a three-point play. Dan Grunfeld scored 18 of his 29 points in the first half, making an impressive season debut after his breakout junior season a year was shortened because of a knee injury. But he looked tired at times in the second half trying to carry the majority of the load on offense while also grabbing nine rebounds. Cardinal point guard Chris Hernandez finished with 13 points and five assists.

He also matched his career high with four assists and blocked four shots, his most since blocking six against Oregon last year. Taj Finger, making his first career start, added a career-high 15 points and six rebounds. Finger had scored 45 points in his previous 31 games at Stanford.

Game Three Stanford 82, Cal Poly 58 November 28, 2005 Maples Pavillion STANFORD, Calif. (AP) Matt Haryasz had 16 points and 12 rebounds to help Stanford win its second straight game after a disappointing season-opening loss, over Cal Poly on Monday night. Chris Hernandez added a season-high 22 points for the Cardinal (2-1), who improved to 5-1 against the Mustangs. Cal Poly s only win over the Cardinal occurred in Taj Finger had 13 points and Dan Grunfeld added 11 for Stanford. Haryasz recorded his second straight doubledouble and the 13th of his career. Dawin Whiten scored 22 points to lead the Mustangs (1-3), who lost their third straight. Whiten left the game after sustaining a left leg injury with 6:14 remaining. Cal Poly, picked to finish eighth in the Big West, began a stretch in which it plays seven of nine games on the road through Jan. 7, while Stanford goes on the road for six of its next seven games. The Cardinal were knocked out of the national poll after losing to Big West member UC Irvine 12 days ago. The Anteaters were chosen to finish sixth. Stanford began to make amends against the Mustangs, though it took a 15-6 run to open the second half to give the Cardinal some breathing room. With Finger and Haryasz maintaining control of the post, Stanford was able to cool down the Mustangs and take advantage of Cal Poly s foul situation to slowly build its lead. The Mustangs made just five of their first 20 shots in the second half while Stanford made 13 of 26.

(AP) Virgil Matthews had 23 points, eight assists and seven rebounds Friday in Montana s victory over Stanford. Montana (4-1) jumped out to a 13-0 lead and all five of its starters scored in double figures in the convincing win over the Cardinal (2-2). Jordan Hasquet added 20 points, including all four of his 3-pointers from the top of the key, and dished out four assists. Montana led at halftime before Dan Grunfeld and Matt Haryasz combined for Stanford s first 20 points of the second half. The Cardinal rallied within on two free throws by Haryasz with 11:42 remaining. Stanford got within on two more free throws by Haryasz with 7:11 left, but Hasquet quieted the rally with a 3-pointer. Montana took a lead after Kevin Criswell came out of a scramble for a loose ball with a fullcourt layup attempt. Matthews tipped in the miss with 3:44 remaining. A steal by Matthews led to a layup by Matt Martin and gave Montana a lead with 2:38 left. Montana made 13-of-14 free throws in the final 2:29. Criswell added 14 points for Montana, followed by Martin with 12 and Andrew Strait with 11.

(AP) Kyle Brucculeri s 3-pointer capped a late 9-2 run as UC Davis (1-4) beat Stanford,64-58, on Sunday evening. Stanford broke out to a 12-point lead midway through the first half. But the Aggies, who are in the third year of a four-year transition from Division II to Division I, outhustled the Cardinal down the stretch. Stanford (2-3), picked second in the Pac-10, had a tough weekend, also losing at Montana on Friday. After Tim Morris tied the game at 48 for Stanford with a free throw with about 5 minutes left, the Aggies went on their run. Phil Rasmussen s basket gave the Aggies the lead for good and after Taj Finger missed the front end of a one-on-one, Vince Oliver scored on a pretty drive to make it a four-point game. After a basket by Morris, Rommel Marentez scored on a floater in the lane and Brucculeri hit the 3 that send the crowd of 5,386 into a frenzy. Rasmussen scored 18 points, Thomas Juillerat added 15 and Oliver had 12 for the Aggies, who had lost all 12 previous meetings against the Cardinal. Matt Haryasz led Stanford with 20 points and Tim Morris added 15. Stanford shot just 1-for-15 from 3-point range.

Virginia Tech held Stanford to two points over the final 3:43 and Markus Sailes hit a 3-pointer with 23.8 seconds to play to stretch the lead to six. Virginia Tech (8-3) opened the second half with a 13-4 run to the tie the game at 34. There were three ties and five lead changes before the Hokies took the lead for good with 3:04 to play on a driving layup by Zabian Dowdell. Sailes added 10 and Dowdell had nine for the Hokies, who turned the ball over only seven times. Chris Hernandez had a gamehigh 17 points for Stanford (2-4), but could not convert the front end of two separate one-and-one free throw opportunities down the stretch.

(AP) Matt Haryasz had 24 points and 13 rebounds and Stanford ended a three-game losing streak with a victory over Denver on Monday night. Dan Grunfeld added 19 points, six rebounds and five assists as the Cardinal (3-4) avoided their worst start since beginning 2-5 in and worst skid since dropping six in a row to end the season the last time Stanford lost more than three straight. Grunfeld, Stanford s leading scorer last season in his injury-shortened junior year, scored the Cardinal s first eight points after halftime and converted consecutive three-point plays. He is still wearing a bulky brace on his surgically repaired right knee. Haryasz scored six points during a 13-1 run that gave the Cardinal a lead with 6 minutes left in the first half. After the Pioneers cut it to 10, Stanford ended the first half on an 8-0 spurt for a lead at the break. Haryasz, who made 10 of 12 free throws, dunked in the closing moments on a pretty pass from freshman Mitch Johnson. Stanford played without forward Fred Washington, who has left knee tendonitis that likely will keep him out of Wednesday night s game against Princeton in the Pete Newell Challenge. Denver missed its first four shots against Stanford s tight man defense, including three by Nicholson. The Cardinal made five of their first eight shots and forced the Pioneers into nine early turnovers.

Game Eight Stanford 58, Princeton 34 December 21, 2005 The Pete Newell Challenge The Arena in Oakland OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) Chris Hernandez and Dan Grunfeld scored 11 points each and Matt Haryasz added 10 in Stanford s victory over Princeton on Wednesday night in the Pete Newell Challenge. Freshman Mitch Johnson had five points, four assists, three rebounds and three steals in another impressive performance off the bench. Ten players got at least 10 minutes of time for the Cardinal (4-4), who won their second straight game following a three-game losing streak to move back to.500. Kyle Koncz scored nine points to lead the Tigers (2-7), who fell behind early and never recovered on their way to their third straight loss. Princeton has played worse: The Tigers lost to Monmouth on Dec. 14 before a defeat at Wake Forest last Saturday. In its final tuneup before the start of the Pac-10 season next week, Stanford improved to 8-0 all-time in this event after beating San Francisco in overtime last year. Noah Savage and Kevin Steuerer had eight points each for Princeton, which played without starting point guard Scott Greenman because of a back injury. The Tigers shot 32.5 percent, going 7-for-21 from 3-point range against Stanford s strong zone defense. Stanford jumped out to a 19-3 lead with 11:46 left in the first half on a pair of free throws by Haryasz and led by as many as 23 on the way to a lead at the break. The Cardinal spent much of their two-week break for final exams working to upgrade their defense. They came out in a zone against the inexperienced Tigers two nights after forcing 20 turnovers in a home win over Denver.

The Bruins had lost eight straight at home to Stanford and six in a row overall. The win was the eighth straight for UCLA, which is off to its best start since the national championship season of UCLA (11-1) opened the game with an 18-1 run, capped by a jumper from Ryan Wright with 14:23 to play. Stanford never got back within single digits. The Cardinal (4-5) missed their first 12 shots from the field and didn t get their first field goal until nearly 9 minutes into the game. Stanford shot 20 percent in the first half while UCLA was at 60 percent. Afflalo went 6-for-7 from the field in the first half and made all three of his 3-point attempts. He finished 7-for-11 from the field overall and 3-for-5 from 3-point range. Luc Richard Mbah a Moute had 12 points and 12 rebounds for the Bruins and Josh Shipp added 11 points. Jordan Farmar made a 3-pointer with 4:19 to play in the first half to give UCLA its biggest lead of the half, with 4:19 to play. Stanford then pulled within 13, but Afflalo stretched the lead to 19 points with a 3 with 3:19 to play. Matt Haryasz led the Cardinal with 13 points.

Nick Young had 16 points, Ryan Francis 15 and Gabe Pruitt 14 for USC (10-3, 1-1 Pac-10). Both teams were coming off losses on Thursday that ended impressive winning streaks. USC had won nine in a row before losing to California, and Stanford had beaten UCLA eight straight times at Pauley Pavilion before losing Stanford (4-6, 0-2 Pac-10) had won the previous six regular-season meetings with USC and 13 of 16. This was the third time they have faced each other at Staples Center, including the 2002 and 2003 Pac-10 tournaments, when USC won both times. This game was shifted from the L.A. Sports Arena because of a scheduling conflict with an ice show. Stanford forward Matt Haryasz left the game with 14:11 remaining after going down with a possible sprained left ankle and finished with seven points, ending his streak of 24 consecutive games in double-digit scoring. Peter Prowitt, who played only one minute during the first half, replaced him and capped a 15-3 run with a pair of free throws that narrowed the gap to with 6:09 to play. Dan Grunfeld, who scored 17 points, made a 3- pointer that pulled Stanford within But the Cardinal got no closer and fell to 4-0 on the road as USC closed with a 20-9 run.

Lawrence Hill added 13 points, including a clutch 3-pointer in the final minutes as the Cardinal (5-6, 1-2 Pac-10) beat Oregon State for the 13th straight time at home. Dan Grunfeld scored 14 (making all 10 of his foul shots) and Peter Prowitt added 12. Chris Stephens scored 16 points to lead the Beavers (7-6, 0-2), who lost their 14th consecutive conference road game. Jason Fontenet had 14 points and Marcel Jones added 11. Stephens made his only free throw to extend his streak to 25 straight. Oregon State missed its chance to beat the Cardinal two straight for the first time since Stanford played without its top player and one of its top reserves. Senior Matt Haryasz, a 6-foot-10 forward and Stanford s leading scorer and rebounder, missed the game with a sprained left ankle he sustained in Saturday s loss at USC. Fred Washington missed his fifth straight with tendonitis in his left knee. The teams exchanged the lead several times through most of the second half, and the lead didn t get larger than three points either way until Hernandez hit a 3-pointer to put Stanford up with just under five minutes to play. Hernandez hit another 3-pointer 37 seconds later to culminate a 10-0 Cardinal run. Stanford took control with a 19-3 run. Oregon State fell behind early but an 18-6 run helped give the Beavers a halftime lead.

(AP) Matt Haryasz scored six of his 16 points in the final 3:57 and Stanford dealt Oregon its 11th straight defeat in the Bay Area with a wild victory over the Ducks on Saturday. Oregon s Aaron Brooks drove the baseline and missed a shot to tie under pressure with about 3 seconds left, then had to be held back by his teammates after the buzzer sounded because he was angry no foul had been called. The 6-foot- 11 Haryasz, the Cardinal s leading scorer and rebounder, returned after missing Thursday s win over Oregon State with a sprained left ankle but didn t start. He checked in at the 16:29 mark of the first half and carried the Cardinal in the waning moments. Malik Hairston scored nine straight points for Oregon in the final 3:39 to keep it close, but Haryasz had a three-point play among his six in a row for the Cardinal. Hairston finished with 21 points 15 in the second half and seven rebounds and Ray Schafer 10 points and six boards for Oregon, which lost at California on Thursday night and has dropped four of its last five. Brooks was held to seven points. Chris Hernandez had 12 points and four assists for the Cardinal. The Cardinal (6-6 overall, 2-2) completed a sweep of the Oregon schools after losing their first two conference games last week at UCLA and USC. Stanford dropped its first three Pac-10 games last season but then beat Arizona and bounced back to reach the NCAA tournament in coach Trent Johnson s first season. Stanford, which had a preseason ranking of No. 13 and was picked to finish second in the conference behind Arizona, has won five straight against Oregon. Stanford used a 10-0 run midway through the first half to build a lead, holding the cold-shooting Ducks scoreless for nearly four minutes. Oregon began the game by missing 15 of its first 21 shots.

(AP) Chris Hernandez made all six of his field goals with five 3-pointers on the way to 20 points, and Stanford won its third straight and sixth in a row over archrival California with a victory Friday night. Matt Haryasz had 24 points and 10 rebounds for the Cardinal, who beat the Golden Bears in for the 13th consecutive time for their first three-game winning streak of the season and first time going above.500 in six weeks. The biggest difference in the game was free-throw shooting Stanford shot 17-for-19 and Cal went a season-worst 11-of-24 from the line. Leon Powe had 19 points and 10 rebounds for Cal but shot 5-for-11 from the line. Ayinde Ubaka added 13 points, four assists and three rebounds and Rod Benson scored a season-high 10 points to go with five boards. The Bears (9-5 overall, 3-2 Pac-10) began the week tied for first place in the Pac-10 and were trying to win their first three conference road games for the first time since Hall of Fame coach Pete Newell led the Bears in Haryasz scored eight of Stanford s first 10 points and six in a row and finished 9-for-14 from the floor and Taj Finger provided a big boost with his hustle, scrappy defense and heads-up play for the Cardinal (7-6, 3-2).

Williams, who was 9-of-13 from the field, made a driving layup to tie it at 73 in regulation, then broke a tie with a threepoint play with 2:26 left in overtime. Shakur made it with another three-point play after a spectacular spin move with 1:14 to go, and had four free throws down the stretch. Ivan Radenovic scored 18 points and Hassan Adams 17 for the Wildcats (11-6, 4-3 Pac-10), who had lost three of four coming in. Stanford s Matt Haryasz had a career-high 25 points. The Cardinal (7-7, 3-3) also got 13 points from Laurence Hill and 12 each from Chris Hernandez and Dan Grunfeld, but couldn t keep their three-game winning streak intact or win on the road (0-5). The Wildcats played without 13-game starter Chris Rodgers, demoted Saturday at Oregon and dismissed from the team Wednesday, and Jawann McClellan. McClellan, who started instead of Rodgers in the loss to the Ducks, tore a wrist ligament in that game and had surgery earlier Thursday. Inexperience nearly got them in the second half, when the Cardinal shot 63.6 percent (14-of-22) and made five 3-pointers to rally from an 11-point halftime deficit and take a lead on a Laurence Hill s 15- footer with 9:33 to play.

(AP) Matt Haryasz had a career-high 27 points and 10 rebounds, and Stanford held off Arizona State on Saturday. The Sun Devils had the ball with 42 seconds left, down 66-64, but Kevin Kruger missed a layup against the 6-foot-11 Haryasz and Serge Angounou was called for traveling with 20 seconds remaining after trying to get control of the loose ball. Stanford s Chris Hernandez and Mitch Johnson each sank a pair of free throws in the final 15 seconds to give the Cardinal (8-7, 4-3 Pac-10) their fourth win in five games. The Cardinal made 4-of-5 free throws in a 1:56 span to go ahead with 1:47 to go. But Antwi Atuahene made an off-balance shot against Haryasz and was fouled, making the free throw to put Arizona State within two. Stanford s Dan Grunfeld scored 15 points, all in the first half. Grunfeld missed all five of his field goal attempts in the second half, including a 3-pointer with 48 seconds remaining after Atuahene s threepoint play. The Sun Devils (7-10, 1-7) were led by Jeff Pendergraph s 14 points, also all in the first half. Kruger had 13 and Atuahene 11. Pendergraph went 7-of-8 in 10 minutes before spraining his ankle with four minutes left before halftime, and the Sun Devils spiraled to their seventh loss in eight games.

(AP) Matt Haryasz had 22 points and nine rebounds to help Stanford beat Washington State on Thursday night. Haryasz scored more than 20 points for the fourth straight game and eighth time this season as Stanford (9-7, 5-3 Pac-10) won its seventh consecutive home game and fifth in its last six overall. Chris Hernandez added 11 points. Josh Akognon scored 15 points to lead the Cougars (9-8, 2-6), who have lost five straight after beating Washington. Kyle Weaver added 14 points and Robbie Cowgill had 11. Washington State guard Rodney Edgerson missed the game after aggravating a back injury. Stanford forward Peter Prowitt returned to the court after missing two games with a sore lower back. The Cougars took advantage of five Stanford turnovers in the first 7:13 of the second half to draw within on Weaver s driving lay-in. Stanford also missed seven of its first eight shots in the half after shooting nearly 52 percent in the first 20 minutes. Haryasz scored five of Stanford s next seven points, including a Stanford Basketball

12 Boxscores 3-pointer, to help give the Cardinal some breathing room. The Cougars stayed close though, and were within a basket on several occasions. The Cardinal s biggest lead was a 12-point advantage with five minutes left in the first half. The Cougars only lead was at 2-0. Stanford had trouble scoring against the Cougars last season, averaging 53 points in their three meetings. The scoring deficiency was even more pronounced in the first half. The Cardinal was held to 12 first-half points at home last year against Washington State, and trailed on the road. Haryasz scored 13 points and Stanford led at halftime the most points the Cougars have allowed in the first half, and the second most in any half.

(AP) Chris Hernandez told himself to stay calm, refusing to think about the consequences if even one of his free throws were to miss its intended target. One, two, three just like in practice. Hernandez sank three free throws with two-tenths of a second left in regulation to send the game into overtime and hit four more in the extra period, lifting Stanford to a thrilling victory over No. 10 Washington on Sunday night. When you re trying to shoot, the best thing to do is not think about what you have to do, Hernandez said. I ve had that situation in high school a few times. I ve been pretty successful. The Cardinal (10-7, 6-3 Pac-10) won their third straight to extend their home winning streak to eight games. It was their 13th straight win over the Huskies at Maples Pavilion, where students charged the court after the final buzzer sounded. I don t think it crossed my mind we were going to lose that game, said Huskies leading scorer Brandon Roy, who finished with 25 points. I m still kicking myself. For the first time in basketball, I feel sorry for myself. Hernandez finished with 15 points and four assists after sitting the final 12:16 of the first half in foul trouble, and Matt Haryasz posted his fifth straight 20-point game with 24 points and 10 rebounds. He also made a gutsy pass to Hernandez in one crazy final minute of regulation. There s no way you think you re going to lose that with 2.1 seconds to go. You think the game s over, Romar said. The unheard of situation happened. What s important at this point is we don t take a nosedive. I ve seen teams in this situation not recover from it. It s fine to grieve tonight. I m going to grieve. Grunfeld had nine points and five rebounds and played strong defense on Roy down the stretch, while Hill added 12 points, seven boards and three assists.

Hernandez finished with 20 points and Matt Haryasz had 24 points and 14 rebounds for Stanford (11-7, 7-3 Pac-10), which has won four straight and seven of its last eight. Malik Hairston scored 23 points to lead Oregon (10-12, 4-6), which has lost its last four. Stanford has won seven in a row against the Ducks, including its last three in Eugene.

Hernandez had given the Cardinal a lead with 13:48 left, their last lead until his final shot from the left wing put them ahead for good.

Nick DeWitz bounced back from two terrible games to score 17 off the bench for the Beavers, who lost for the fifth straight time. The Cardinal (12-7, 8-3 Pacific-10) have won six in a row and eight of their last nine. Dan Grunfeld had 13 points for Stanford and Taj Finger added seven points and six rebounds. DeWitz, who was replaced by Sasa Cuic in the starting lineup after scoring just six points in two games, scored 12 in the second half. Cuic finished with 15 points and Wesley Washington added a season-high 11 for the Beavers (10-12, 3-8). The Beavers, who fell behind to California 21-2 on Thursday, started slow again, as the Cardinal took a 22-8 lead. Stanford led by as many as 17 after a basket by Haryasz, but after Haryasz took a poke to the eye and left the game a few plays later, the Beavers went on a 12-4 into halftime to cut the lead to single digits. With his eye swollen shut, Haryasz, averaging 19.3 points and 9.3 rebounds, never returned and Stanford wasn t the same without him. The Cardinal commited 17 turnovers in the game, six of them Hernandez s and four by freshman forward finger. But with Haryasz out, Hernandez carried the load on offense, hitting 7-of-10 shots and killing Beaver rallies with big plays.

(AP) Leon Powe scored a career-high 32 points and California survived a late flurry from Stanford to win Thursday night, snapping a six-game losing streak to its Bay Area rivals. The Golden Bears (15-6, 9-3 Pac-10) played with poise down the stretch, making all six free throws in the final minute and stopping Stanford s last-ditch effort. After Ayinde Ubaka s two foul shots made it with 13.5 seconds left, Stanford (12-8, 8-4) tried to tie it with a 3-pointer. Cal coach Ben Braun chose not to order his team to foul and Ubaka knocked the ball away from Hernandez and into the hands of Eric Vierneisel, who ran out the clock to give the Bears their fifth straight win. Cal students, part of the first sellout at Haas Pavilion since undefeated Stanford visited two years ago, rushed the floor after the Bears first win against Stanford since Cal had lost 16 of 18 in the rivalry. Cal took sole possession of second place in the conference with the win, a game behind UCLA, and Stanford dropped into a third. Both teams are also fighting for atlarge berths in the NCAA tournament. Powe scored six straight points down the stretch for California, including two free throws with 32.5 seconds left to make it After Hernandez made two free throws for Stanford, Ubaka made two more for Cal to make it Matt Haryasz, playing with goggles after being poked in the eye last weekend at Oregon State, responded with a 3-pointer to cut it to 1 with 14.4 seconds left. But Ubaka, who finished with 18 points, added two more free throws for the final margin. Powe and Ubaka combined for Cal s last 20 points over the final 13:15 of the game.

(AP) Adam Morrison went to work when No. 5 Gonzaga needed him the most. Morrison scored 12 of his 34 points in the final 3 minutes to help the Bulldogs hold off Stanford on Saturday night. Gonzaga (20-3) extended the nation s longest home winning streak to 36 games and won its 11th in a row overall. The Bulldogs also reached 20 wins for the ninth consecutive season. Gonzaga led when Morrison made a long 3-pointer to begin the 3-minute surge in which he outscored the entire Stanford team. It was my time to do something, I guess, Morrison said. When it s clutch time at the end of the game, I know the ball s going to be in my hands. Stanford (12-9) stayed close during a thrilling second half, but was undone by Gonzaga s strong free-throw shooting. Chris Hernandez made a 3-pointer to cut Gonzaga s lead to with 18 seconds left but Morrison made two free throws. Dan Grunfeld missed Stanford s final shot. That s what big-time players do, Hernandez said of Morrison. They make shots and win the game for their team. For Gonzaga, the rare nonconference game in February was a chance to step out of the lightly-regarded West Coast Conference, where they are 9-0, and beat a major conference opponent. It felt like an NCAA tournament game, Gonzaga coach Mark Few said. It felt like the whole world was focused on us. J.P. Batista added 24 points and eight rebounds for Gonzaga, and held Stanford s Matt Haryasz to 11 points, seven below his average. Hernandez led Stanford with 17 points, while Grunfeld had 16. If you are going to come in to a No. 5 team s gym, you are going to have to play pretty flawless and we weren t flawless, said Hernandez, who picked up his fourth foul with 13 minutes left and sat out for nearly 7 minutes. He played just 22 minutes in the game, but made five of eight 3-pointers. Finger Haryasz Johnson Hernandez Grunfeld Morris Hill Haas Prowitt TEAM Totals Stanford Basketball 55

Chris Hernandez added 12 points and extended his consecutive free throw streak to 34 as the Cardinal (13-9, 9-4 Pac-10) ended a two-game losing streak with its eighth straight at home. Freshman Jeff Pendergraph scored 18 points to lead Arizona State (9-14, 3-11), which lost its second straight and six of eight overall. Kevin Kruger added 15 points and Bryson Krueger had 14. Haryasz became the 35th player in school history to reach 1,000 points, following Chris Hernandez, who also reached the milestone earlier in the season. Haryasz also became the 13th player to record 1,000 points and 600 rebounds. Antwi Atuahene, who scored 10 points, stole the ball and went all the way in for a layin to draw Arizona State within with 13:37 to play. He was called for a foul 17 seconds later, and a technical foul was assessed on a Sun Devil assistant coach the officials never specified which one moments later. Stanford made all four free throws on the play, and Hernandez added two more fouls shots on the ensuing possession to push its lead back to double-digits. The Cardinal shot nearly 56 percent from the field, led by Grunfeld. The senior small forward made five of his six shots and all eight of his free throws in the first half. Lawrence Hill hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer to give the Cardinal a halftime advantage.

(AP) Hassan Adams broke out of a scoring slump with 23 points and Ivan Radenovic also scored 23 to help Arizona snap a four-game road losing streak with a victory over Stanford on Sunday. Marcus Williams keyed a 16-3 run to start the second half as the Wildcats (16-10, 9-6 Pac-10) bounced back after a loss at California on Thursday to complete a season sweep against the Cardinal (13-10, 9-5) and earn a much-needed win. Arizona and Stanford have dominated the Pac-10 the past decade, but this matchup was less about conference superiority and more about boosting both teams chances of making the NCAA tournament. Both teams have won three outright Pac-10 regular season titles and shared another with each other the past eight seasons. The only year since that neither the Cardinal nor the Wildcats finished atop the Pac-10 standings was in , when they finished in a four-way tie for second, two games behind Oregon. Arizona ended up winning the conference tournament that season. Hernandez let Stanford with 28 points Haryasz added 15 and Taj Finger had 11. The Cardinal had won nine straight at. Arizona used an aggressive full-court press for much of the game, using its athleticism to cause turnovers and disrupting the Cardinal s offense. After shooting 57 percent in the first half, Stanford shot just 36 percent after the break and finished with 15 turnovers. Hernandez hit three 3-pointers in the first 2:32 of the game, forcing Arizona to come out of its zone defense. The long-range shooting Stanford hit four 3s in the first four minutes helped the Cardinal take an early 14-6 lead.

The Huskies (21-5, 10-5) remained one game back of California and UCLA in the Pac-10 and host the Golden Bears in their final home game on Sunday night. Brandon Roy continued his outstanding play of late with 23 points, six rebounds and seven assists. The back-to-back conference player of the week scored at least 20 points for the eighth straight game. Roy was efficient, making 7-of-13 shots and was 8-for-8 on free throws. Jamaal Williams added 10 points off the bench for Washington, which won its fifth straight. The loss dealt a serious blow to Stanford s hopes of making a 12th straight appearance in the NCAA tournament. The Cardinal (13-11, 9-6) lost for the fourth time in their last five games and have beat just one ranked opponent this season Washington on Jan. 29. This night hardly resembled the first matchup. In that meeting, Washington led when Huskies freshman Justin Dentmon fouled Stanford s Chris Hernandez on a 3-pointer with.2 seconds left. Hernandez made all three free throws to force overtime and the Cardinal pulled away for a win. Harassed all night by Washington s vocal student section, Hernandez was miserable on Thursday night. He missed his first six shots and finished with nine points on 2-for-13 shooting. Matt Haryasz and Peter Prowitt led the Cardinal with 10 points each. Stanford shot just 37 percent. With Stanford starting in a zone defense to slow the Huskies inside play, Washington s complementary players took advantage from the perimeter.

Chris Hernandez, who led Stanford (14-11, 10-6 Pac- 10) with 10 points, missed a 15-foot jump shot that Goods converted when no defenders blocked him out. Josh Akognon led Washington State (11-14, 4-12) with 11 points. Robbie Cowgill added 10. The total of 76 points was the lowest in a Pac-10 game since Oregon State defeated Oregon on March 23, 1984 (prior to the shot clock). Stanford s 39 points was the team s lowest score in a victory since a win over UCLA in Stanford had not scored fewer points in any game since a loss to UCLA in Washington State had not lost a game with so few points allowed since losing at Washington in Stanford shot 32.6 percent from the floor, including 30 percent on 3-pointers (3 for 10). Washington State shot 32.7 percent from the field, which included going 2-for-17 on 3-pointers.

(AP) Chris Hernandez sank two free throws with four seconds left to lift Stanford to a victory over Southern California on Thursday night. Hernandez finished with 16 points and Dan Grunfeld added 14 as the Cardinal (15-11, 11-6 Pac-10) won its second straight. Matt Haryasz had nine points and 11 rebounds. Lodrick Stewart scored 17 points to lead the Trojans (17-11, 8-9), who lost their fifth in seven games. Gabe Pruitt, who scored 13 points, returned to the Trojans lineup after missing five games with a left knee injury and made an immediate impact, helping to generate some early offense. Pruitt has reached double figures in 21 of the 23 games he s played. Nick Young had 10 points. Haryasz blocked three shots to move into sole possession of third place on Stanford s all-time list with 123. Hernandez hit a short jumper with a minute to play to tie the game at 54 and Haryasz made both of his free throws with 35 seconds left to give Stanford a edge. Abdoulaye Ndiaye made a 2-foot jumper with 12.2 seconds left to tie the game. The Cardinal scored the first seven points of the second half to stake itself to a advantage but the Trojans roared back. Pruitt hit a 3-pointer to tie the game at 43 with 9:57 left to play and Nick Young hit a short jumper 30 seconds later to put USC ahead.

14 Boxscores Game Twenty-Seven UCLA 75, Stanford 54 March 4, 2006 STANFORD, Calif. (AP) Arron Afflalo led four players in double figures with 16 points and the 15th-ranked Bruins captured their first conference title in nine years Saturday with a victory against Stanford, securing the top seed in next week s Pac-10 tournament. Jordan Farmar added 13 points and seven assists, Ryan Hollins had 13 points and eight rebounds, while Luc Richard Mbah a Moute contributed 12 points and nine rebounds. Michael Roll hit three 3-pointers for nine points, and UCLA rode its stingy defense to an emotional win that disappointed the raucous, sold-out crowd of 7,334 in Maples Pavilion. UCLA (24-6, 14-4 Pac-10) had already clinched a share of its first conference regular-season title since 1997 with Thursday night s overtime win at California. This is the Bruins eighth league crown overall and they won it outright by sweeping the season series from Stanford for the first time since 1995 the year of UCLA s last NCAA title in coach Jim Harrick s secondto-last season at the school. The team s lone loss that year came at Oregon. Dan Grunfeld scored 14 points and Anthony Goods 12 for Stanford (15-12, 11-7), which now probably must win next week s conference tournament to earn an NCAA bid and avoid ending a streak of 11 straight trips to the tournament. The Cardinal received an at-large berth with 18 wins last season though they played a more difficult schedule and some of their losses came to prestigious teams such as Michigan State, Louisville and Tennessee. Stanford pulled within nine points on a 3-pointer by Lawrence Hill with 12:25 left, but couldn t get closer. UCLA coach Ben Howland emptied his bench with 1:12 to play and the Bruins celebrated mildly when the final buzzer sounded before heading to the locker room. The game marked the last home contest for Chris Hernandez, Grunfeld, Jason Haas and Matt Haryasz though the Cardinal still could host an NIT game. The seniors were honored in a pregame ceremony that featured video highlights of their careers. Hernandez didn t score his first basket until Stanford s first possession of the second half after taking just one shot and committing four turnovers to one assist in 11 minutes of action in the first half. But he picked up his third foul at the 17:44 mark of the second half. Haryasz, 0-for-5 in the first half, made his first field goal moments after Hernandez s made basket. He finished with eight points and Hernandez had nine. Stanford took a 5-0 lead and UCLA started the game 0-for-3, but the Cardinal committed eight turnovers in the opening six minutes and the Bruins took advantage with a 19-4 spurt. Stanford struggled to take shots against the Bruins pressure man defense managing only eight shots in the first 10 1/2 minutes.

Arizona, shooting for its 22nd straight NCAA tournament appearance, meets No. 13 UCLA or Oregon State in the semifinals Friday night. The fourth-seeded Wildcats (19-11) moved within one victory of their 19th consecutive 20-win season. Chris Rodgers added 12 points and five steals and Marcus Williams had 11 points despite a 3-for-16 shooting performance for the Wildcats, who forced 23 turnovers in beating Stanford for the third time this season. Arizona won without leading-scorer Hassan Adams, suspended for the Pac-10 tournament by coach Lute Olson after being arrested on suspicion of drunken driving last weekend. Chris Hernandez scored all but five of his 20 points in the second half for Stanford (15-13). Matt Haryasz added 14 points and Peter Prowitt had 10 before fouling out with 3:26 remaining. The Cardinal s school-record 11-year streak of NCAA tournament appearances almost surely will end. Arizona committed only seven turnovers, and made 24-of-30 free throws to 10-of-11 for Stanford. The Cardinal shot 50 percent to the Wildcats 39 percent, and won the rebounding battle But the turnovers did them in. Dan Grunfeld s basket midway through the first half ended a 7 1/2-minute scoring drought, and triggered a 7-0 spurt that tied the game.

(AP) Chris Hernandez had 14 points in Stanford s easy win over Virginia in an opening round National Invitation Tournament game Tuesday night. Dan Grunfeld added 12 points and Matt Haryasz had 10 points and seven rebounds for the Cardinal. The win advanced Stanford (16-13) to Friday s first-round game at Missouri State (20-8). The Cardinal dominated Virginia (15-15) throughout, leading by as much as 19 en route to their most lopsided win since a victory over Princeton on Dec. 21. Stanford forced Virginia into 15 turnovers while holding the Cavaliers to a season-low in points. Hernandez, playing in what was likely his final home game, didn t score much, but his points and assists were timely for Stanford. The senior guard had eight points in the first half, including a pair of 3- pointers when the Cardinal took control. Then after Virginia made its best push of the night to close to in the second half, Hernandez made another 3-pointer and dished out two assists to spark a 9-0 run that put away the Cavaliers. The win snapped a late-season drought by Stanford, which lost six of nine before beating Virginia, and extended the Cardinal s first appearance in the NIT since That was also the last time Stanford played Virginia prior to Tuesday. Stanford s offense, which struggled against pressuring defenses in late-season losses to UCLA and Arizona, had no problems against Virginia s soft zone. The Cardinal shot 57.1 percent from the floor in the first half and 49 percent for the game. Nine different players scored for Stanford, eight in the first half when the Cardinal jumped to a lead. Conversely, Virginia shot just 32.3 percent from the floor in the first half and went through two long scoring droughts. Stanford took advantage and went on runs of 17-3 and 13-4 to take control.
