Oregon struggled in the worst way Saturday at Stanford. History says they'll play much better this week.

It isn't very often the Oregon Ducks have been blown out in the way they were Saturday afternoon by the Stanford Cardinal. The 96-61 loss is the worst in Dana Altman's time at Oregon.

If history suggests anything, the Oregon Ducks will come out on Thursday and play a lot better against the surging Washington Huskies team on Thursday at Matthew Knight Arena.

Dana Altman's teams have suffered just eight losses since the 2013-14 season by 12 or more points. In the games that followed those bad losses, the Ducks have gone 6-2 with wins, including a 76-72 win this season over then-ranked No. 11 ASU.

The Ducks have averaged 72.5 points after each loss while giving up 66 points a game.

Here are the eight losses the Ducks have suffered since the 2013-14 season and the results after:

- 12-point loss at OSU Jan 5, 2018, 76-72 win over No. 11 ASU Jan 11.

- 17-point loss at Baylor Nov. 15, 2017, 76-54 win over Valpo two days later.

- 20-point loss at Cal Feb 11, 2017, 76-72 loss at Stanford two days later, 91-81 win over Oregon State on 20th

- 13-point loss at Oregon State Jan 3, 2016, 68-65 win over Cal Jan 6.

- 18-point loss vs Arizona Jan. 8 2015, 59-56 win two days later over Arizona State

- 34-point loss at Arizona Jan 28th, 2015, 68-67 win two days later at ASU.

- 13-point loss vs No. 14 VCU Nov 25 2014, 81-59 win five days later over Portland State.

- 13-point loss vs Cal Jan 9, 2014, 82-80 loss at Stanford 3 days later, an 80-72 loss Jan 19, 80-76 loss at Washington 4 days later, 71-44 win at WSU Jan. 26

One thing to also note about Oregon's past success after a bad loss is the veteran experience those teams had or didn't have. During the 2017 and 2016 seasons, the Ducks had a veteran team they could lean on when times got tough. Oregon's losses during the 2014-15 season came when the Ducks had just two veterans on the team in senior Joe Young and junior Elgin Cook, and a collection of freshmen by the name of Dillon Brooks, Jordan Bell, and Casey Benson.

This year's version of Oregon basketball resembles more of the 2014-15 team than the 2015-16 or 16-17 teams, which makes you wonder will this year's team buckle down after an embarrassing loss like previous veteran teams, or will this team struggle in each game down the stretch?
