STANFORD, Calif.– The Stanford Cardinal (4-6, 0-2 Pac 12) prevented the visiting University of Wisconsin – Green Bay Phoenix (2-10, 1-1 Horizon) from rising inside Maples Pavilion and manhandled them 85-40.

Stanford jumped on their Midwest opponent quickly in dominating fashion, including a 15-0 run and a lead as lofty as 23 points.

Green Bay shot a dismal 29% from the field the initial 20 minutes of the contest, as well as turning the ball over a whopping 15 times at the behest of the Cardinal stout defense.

Conversely, Stanford shot an impressive 65% from the floor and never trailed in the first half.

The second half Stanford did not rest on their laurels, they actually increased the insurmountable lead to 45 points, despite shooting a lower percentage in part two of the game.

The Cardinal continued the onslaught, forcing a total of 27 turnovers and holding them to a paltry 27% shooting for the game.

After the Phoenix were aggressively subdued, that large 45-point margin was also the difference in the final score, 85-40 Stanford.

Four players scored in double-figures for Stanford: Senior forward Spencer Jones (10): junior forward Brandon Angel (10) & five rebounds; sophomore guard Jarvis Moss (10) and freshman guard Ryan Agarwal led everyone (11).

UW – Green Bay was led by junior guard Randy Tucker, with ten points and seven rebounds, while his sophomore teammate Cade Meyer also tallied ten points and grabbed six rebounds.

Stanford will head down to the Lone Star state to take on the Texas Longhorns in Dallas, Sunday December 18, which will be a homecoming of sorts for two players. Sophomore forward Harrison Ingram (Dallas) and the aforementioned Ryan Agarwal (Coppell) are excited about the road trip.

The Phoenix will stay on the west coast and travel up to Corvallis, OR to take on the Oregon State Beavers, also Sunday December 18.

On the Cardinal podcast with Michael Roberson:

#1 Michael the Stanford Cardinal (3-6) are coming off a heartbreak loss against the Arizona Sun Devils (8-1) in a four point loss 68-64. The Cardinal lacked a couple of buckets to get a shot at the win column but the Sun Devils have been a tough customer all season long winners of eight games.

#2 Michael, one thing the Cardinal have been able to depend on is they are getting production from their shooters we’ll take each player at a time starting with Spencer Jones who finished at the top of the leaderboard with 13 points against ASU.

#3 There’s the always quick to the basket and accurate forward Harrison Ingram head coach Jerod Haase says he likes some of things that Ingram can do on offense.

#4 Guard Michael Jones finished second in scoring against the Sun Devils on Sun Dec 4th with 12 points, Jones is averaging 10.4 pts, 3.0 rebounds, with 2.2 assists. He’s been getting his share of shots of late.
