On Stanford Cardinal podcast with Michael Roberson:

#1 The Clemson Tigers Chase Hunter scored 22 points, Chauncy Wiggins scored 17 points his most for the season as the Tigers gave no space to the Stanford Cardinal in the second half of the game for a 85-71 win.

#2 Hunter was hard to defend for the Cardinal and just shutting him down a bit could have made a huge difference as the Cardinal were beaten by 14 points and Hunter had 22 points.

#3 The game was all tied at 52-52 with 14:37 left in the ball game when the Tigers turned the tables going on a 10-0 run which pretty much put Stanford behind the eight ball.

#4 What hurt the Cardinal were the turnovers as Stanford allowed 16 turnovers which converted into 25 points.

#5 Up next for the Cardinal the Pittsburgh Panthers next Sat Jan 4 for a 3:30pm PST tip in Pittsburgh. The Panthers are fourth in the Atlantic Coast at 11-2 and have won four in a row. The Panthers could be a hand full for the Cardinal this Saturday?
