• The line for this game is Oregon by 5.5 points.

• Two teams clinging to hopes for a top-four seed and a first-round bye in next month’s Pac-12 Tournament meet Sunday when Stanford visits Oregon. The Cardinal have won four of their last five and sit tied for sixth place in the conference with the Ducks, who bounced back from an ugly loss to Colorado by defeating last-place California 73-62 on Wednesday.With just one senior on the roster, Stanford has relied heavily on young players such as sophomore forward Oscar da Silva, who recorded a career-high 23 points, nine rebounds and a career-high seven assists in Thursday’s 83-60 win at Oregon State. The Cardinal look to build on one of their most complete efforts of the season after shooting 54 percent from the field and outrebounding the Beavers 41-26. “We’re growing up. Slowly but surely,” coach Jerod Haase told reporters. “Overall, we’re trending the right way. The guys are playing hard, they’re playing together, and they believe in what we’re doing.”

• Oregon is 10-4 at home this season and boasts a strong backcourt led by freshman guard Louis King, who is averaging 15.6 points and 6.4 rebounds in conference play.

• Sophomore forward KZ Okpala ranks third in the league in scoring (17.7) while shooting 41 percent from 3-point range but was held to 10 points on 2-of-9 shooting against Oregon State. Stanford played much of the game without starting point guard Daejon Davis, who averages 12.6 points but suffered an apparent head injury early in the second half and is listed as day-to-day. Center Josh Sharma leads the Pac-12 in field-goal percentage at 67.5 percent and had 20 points along with eight rebounds in Thursday’s victory.

• Junior guard Payton Pritchard snapped out of a shooting slump by recording his second career double-double with 20 points and a career-high 10 rebounds against Cal. Pritchard has handed over point guard duties to freshman Will Richardson, who had a season-high nine assists in Wednesday’s victory but also committed five of the team’s 15 turnovers. The Ducks’ athletic frontcourt is led by senior forward Paul White, who has scored in double figures in nine of the last 11 games.

• Stanford posted a 96-61 victory over Oregon last season and owns a 93-52 lead in the all-time series.

• Oregon is 11-2 in games with a margin of 11 or more points but 3-7 in games decided by 10 or fewer points.

• Okpala had 20 points on 9-of-12 shooting with five rebounds and four assists in last season’s win over the Ducks.
