PALO ALTO–It was a very difficult loss for the Stanford Cardinal (8-5) losing by one point to the Colorado Buffaloes last Sunday at Maples Pavilion. They had an upset beating the Utah Utes to open Pac 12 play at Maples on Friday night and they were looking forward to taking on Colorado but lost to them by one. When you play these tight defensive games you never know what’s going to happen.

Stanford head coach Johnny Dawkins has the team on the right track right now. They might not do that well overall in the Pac 12 but they might end up in the NIT again. It was a close game against Colorado and losing a game like that sometimes you fall short.

Stanford’s Rosco Allen has been very productive he’s either a center or a power forward and he’s done a good job for the Cardinal. His shooting has been good, his defense has been good and sometimes he gets off to a slow start. Most every game he’s solid he’s going to be good for 18-20 points a game.
