The Cardinal's recent form has been a mix of high-octane offense and solid defense. In their last home game against the Trojans, they put up a staggering 99 points, showcasing an efficient shooting performance with a field goal percentage of fifty-six and an even more impressive three-point percentage at fifty. Their assist-to-turnover ratio stood at 1.64, indicating a strong team cohesion and ball movement.

However, in the game prior against the Bruins, despite maintaining a high two-point field goal percentage of sixty-seven and free throw accuracy at eighty-two percent, they fell short by eight points. This loss highlighted some areas for improvement such as perimeter defense and managing turnovers; they had fifteen in that game which matched their assists tally.

On their visit to Arizona against the Wildcats, Stanford managed seventy-one points but struggled with two-point shots making only thirty-four percent. They did show resilience from beyond the arc hitting forty-two percent of threes and maintained a positive assist-to-turnover ratio again at 1.82.

Looking ahead to facing Oregon State Beavers, Stanford will need to capitalize on its strengths – sharpshooting from deep and facilitating ball movement while tightening up any defensive lapses that have cost them in previous games.

Maples Pavilion could play its part too; it's known for its vibrant atmosphere which often acts as a sixth man for the home side. The crowd support can be pivotal in spurring on Stanford especially during crunch moments where every possession counts.
