PALO ALTO–Top scorers from Tuesday night’s game against the DePaul Blue Demons (5-5) the Stanford Cardinal (5-3) Marcus Allen with 17 and Allen scored 13 of 17 in the first half. Dorian Pickens finished with 16 points and scored ten points in the second half.

The Blue Demons had a good second half in their own right scoring just ahead of Stanford 40-36 but it wasn’t enough. Another big contributor for Stanford was the Cardinal Roscoe Allen who hit 14 points, five rebounds, and four assists. Stanford pushes big to keep things going in the December all home game schedule as they play Texas on Sat Dec 19th at Maples Pavilion.
