Chasson Randle did all of his scoring from behind the 3-ppoint arc Friday, and Stanford rolled to an 89-60 win over Nevada-Las Vegas in the semifinals of the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y.

Randle finished with 18 points, all on 3-pointers – five of them in the first half as the Cardinal improved to 3-0 overall. Stanford faces Duke in Saturday’s championship game, setting up a coaching matchup between Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski and Stanford coach Johnny Dawkins, a former standout player for the Blue Devils.

UNLV, meanwhile, missed 11 of its first 14 shots and never recovered after falling behind 12-0 early.

Anthony Brown also scored 18 points and Rosco Allen added 15 for Stanford, which shot 57 percent from the field in the first half as the Cardinal built a 23-point lead.

Christian Wood led the Runnin’ Rebels (2-1) with 12 points. Rashad Vaughn, who averaged 22 points in UNLV’s first two games, was held to seven points.

Led by Randle, the Cardinal sank 9 of its 14 3-point attempts in the first 20 minutes while building a 23-point halftime lead. Stanford also had a 47-29 rebounding edge.

Stanford jumped to a 36-10 lead with 9:16 remaining in the first half after Randle sank his third and fourth 3-pointers. Randle’s six treys were one shy of his personal best.
