Stanford Cardinal podcast Michael Roberson Thu Dec 25, 2025:

#1 How will Stanford’s Ebuka Okorie control the paint against Northridge’s forwards, and can the Matadors limit his rebounding and scoring impact?

#2 Can guard Benny Gealer’s scoring and perimeter shooting provide the offensive spark Stanford needs if Northridge clogs the lane?

#3 What role will forward Chisom Okpara’s play in orchestrating the Cardinal’s offense, and how effectively can he distribute the ball against a tough CSUN defense?

#4 Will AJ Rohosy’s contributions on both ends of the floor (scoring, defense, rebounding) be a factor in Stanford controlling the tempo early in this matchup?

#5 With bench scoring from players like Chisom Okpara and Benny Gealer, can Stanford maintain offensive balance if its starters struggle to find rhythm against Cal State Northridge?
