QUICKLY: Oregon State is 11-0 this season when leading at halftime and 12-0 when leading with five minutes to play ... The Beavers lead the Pac-12 in field goal percentage (.470); the last time they finished a season leading the conference in that category was 1984-85 (.525) ... Oregon State equaled its best conference record through nine games since the 1989-90 team opened 8-1; the 1992-93 team also started 6-3 ... Tres Tinkle was named Pac-12 Player of the Week after averaging 25.0 points, 7.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists in the road sweep over the Mountain schools ... Stephen Thompson Jr. is averaging a team-best 25.8 points in the four Pac-12 home games ... Kylor Kelley has set three school records this season - blocked shots in a game (9), blocked shots in a season (77 and counting) and consecutive games with multiple blocked shots (15) ... Ethan Thompson has scored in double figures in 10 of his last 11 games ... Antoine Vernon is 13-for-13 from the free throw line this season ... Zach Reichle is 12-for-12 from the free throw line in the final five minutes of games.

vs. STANFORD: Oregon State and Stanford meet for the 145th time with the Beavers holding a 73-71 advantage, including a 38-28 advantage in games played in Corvallis.

Stanford has won three straight in the series and nine of the last 11, including two straight victories at Gill Coliseum. The Beavers' last home win over Stanford came on Jan. 9, 2014 (81-72) and their last win in the series came on Feb. 11, 2016 (62-50) on The Farm.

The teams met only once last season, which the Cardinal won 80-71 on Feb. 1 at Maples Pavilion. Tres Tinkle scored 18 points and the Thompson brothers added 10 points apiece. Reid Travis led Stanford with 24 points.

Stanford won both meetings two years. The first was a 62-46 victory on Jan. 19, 2017 at Gill Coliseum when Stephen Thompson Jr. scored a team-high 15 points. The second was a 79-66 win on Feb. 22, 2017 at Maples Pavilion when Drew Eubanks dropped 21 points and 14 rebounds, and Gligorije Rakocevic scored a career-high 16 points.

A WIN OVER THE CARDINAL: If Oregon State defeats Stanford it will improve to 15-7 overall and 7-3 in Pac-12 play. It would also:

Be Oregon State's best conference start through 10 games since the 1989-90 opened 9-1.
Be the fourth time in five seasons under Wayne Tinkle that Oregon State has won at least 15 games; the Beavers won 15-plus games four times in the 22 seasons before Tinkle became the head coach.
Be the fourth time in five seasons under Wayne Tinkle that Oregon State has won at last seven Pac-12 games.
Snap a three-game losing streak to Stanford.
