A few days ago, the potential of an Oregon State win with Stanford coming to town seemed highly unlikely. The Cardinal have won their last two games, knocking off Washington and Washington State in the process, while the Beavers were recently routed by arch-rival Oregon for their fifth straight loss. Then, Stanford’s star forward Reid Travis re-injured his arm mid-way through the first half against the Huskies and suddenly, things have changed heading into this one, both for Stanford and Oregon State.
Currently listed as “day-to-day” the chance that the Cardinal may use extreme caution with Travis is plausible, considering his importance to the program.
