On the Stanford Cardinal podcast with Michael R:

#1 Going back to Dec 3rd when the Cardinal played their last game, the Cardinal (4-4, 0-0 Pac-12) attacked their guest the San Diego Toreros (6-3, 0-0 WCC), and chased them all around the Farm in a health 88-64 win to hit the .500 mark.

#2 Senior forward Brandon Angel led the way for Stanford, with 25 points and 8 rebounds. He also got the party started with a three-pointer, demarking the first points of the game. The 3-0 lead was a precursor for the rest of the battle, as the Cardinal were in front from that point on to the final whistle.

#3 Michael, the Cardinal dominated the Toreros in both halves in the first 43-27 and 45-37. Talk about how Stanford really opened up on the offense.

#4 For the Toreros they just couldn’t get anything going on offense with leading scorers Deuce Turner 12 points followed by Drago Lungu and Deven Dahlke both with 11 points. But it just wasn’t enough for San Diego just to stay in the game.

#5 Stanford will next be in action at Maples Sunday, December 17, 2 PM PDT, hosting the Idaho Vandals. Michael the Vandals have won three straight and are 7-4. The Cardinal have lost three of their last four games and are 4-4. The Cardinal have the home floor. How do you see this match considering neither team has seen each other this season.

STANFORD, Calif. — The Stanford Cardinal (4-4, 0-0 Pac-12) attacked the guest San Diego Toreros (6-3, 0-0 WCC), and chased them all around the Farm, 88-64..

Senior forward Brandon Angel led the way for Stanford, with 25 points and 8 rebounds. He also got the party started with a three-pointer, demarking the first points of the game.The 3-0 lead was a precursor for the rest of the battle, as the Cardinal were in front from that point on to the final whistle.

Not only did Angel drill a three, but senior Michael Jones dropped one too. Stanford was on a 6-0 run with only two made shots; however, the Southern California bullfighters had their own response (4-0). That would be the closest margin (2) of the allotted 40-minute contest.

Stanford led by as much as 17 points during the remainder of the first half. By the time the recess bell rang, the Cardinal had a 16-point advantage over the Toreros, 43-27.

Angel had 15 points and 6 rebounds, while Michael Jones chipped in 11 more to help expand the lead. No players from San Diego scratched double-digits at intermission..

In the second half, the visitors tried to fight their way back with their swords and capes, but their efforts were proved to be futile, despite a 7-0 run late in the game. Stanford on the other hand hit a lead as significant as 26 points in the closing seconds. They settled for a 24-point victory, 88-64 instead.

Senior forward Spencer Jones got himself into the double-figure club in the second half (16) and snagged a few more rebounds (6). Angel added 10 more to his tally (25), while Michael Jones contributed an additional 8 to his total (19).

San Diego presented four players with at least 10 points to their boxscore. Junior guard Deuce Turner (12), senior Devin Dahlke and freshman Dragos Lungu both had 11, while junior Wayne McKinney III offered 10 points and 5 rebounds.

Stanford will next be in action at Maples Sunday, December 17, 2 PM PDT, hosting the Idaho Vandals. San Diego will be heading to Logan, UT to take on the Utah State Aggies, Wednesday, December 6 at 6 PM MST.

Cal Bears basketball podcast with Morris Phillips: Did Shepherd get robbed in the closing seconds at UNLV?; Cal gets ready for San Diego tonight

On the Cal Bears basketball podcast with Morris:

#1 Morris like you mentioned in your recap on Saturday night that the UNLV Running Rebels (2-0) hinged on a key aspect that won them their game over the Cal Bears (0-2) 55-52 and that was the three point shot.

#2 You talked about Cal’s guard Jordan Shepherd who in the opener scored 27 points against UC San Diego but the Rebels got the memo on Shepherd and held him down to just nine points that might have been the difference in the game.

#3 UNLV head coach Kevin Kruger was pleased with the how the players shutdown Cal on three different action plays saying the defense executed it perfectly.

#4 Shepherd had his second three point attempt blocked and missed a lay up in the final seconds as head coach Mark Fox questioned if there was contact or not?

#5 The Bears host the San Diego Toreros (3-0) at Haas Pavilion in Berkeley tonight and hope that having the home floor will give them some kind of advantage. The Toreoros have won three straight to start the season and are getting some scoring from guard Jase Townsend, Terrell Brown, and Marcellus Ellington. Morris, set this one up for us tonight for a 6pm tip.
