The Stanford Cardinal Men’s basketball team have to find ways to win losing Friday to North Carolina by a substantial margin not a good way to get off the ground then lose next on Thanksgiving night to the Florida Gators 108-87 made for two rough games. The Cardinal were underdogs in those two games and the Cardinal right now are tying to boost up and straighten their own basketball program by playing teams line North Carolina and Florida. When the Cardinal played the Gators the Gators were ranked number seven.

The real unfortunate thing for the Cardinal is they’ve been real shorthanded It’s been so shorthanded that you teams play seven or eight players where the ninth to the 12th players get no minutes at all. The Cardinal do not have access to a number of players they normally depend on right now. They have Reid Travis, Michael Humphrey, and Michael Cartwright.
