STANFORD, Calif. — The Stanford Cardinal (10-14, 4-9 Pac-12) could not bear the HEAT of the Arizona State Sun Devils (16-9, 7-7 Pac-12) and were uprooted at Maples Pavilion, 69-65.

The Cardinal was in front for nearly 16 of the 20-minute first half, on a 7-0 run and a 10-point advantage,

However, the Sun Devils kept pecking away, then took the lead at the 4:10 mark, and again two minutes later. Their streak was 9-0 and managed to briefly take a 5-point lead, but Stanford erased that deficit by the halftime horn with a 5-0 run. At the midway point, 33-33.

Each team had one player with 10 points. Stanford junior forward Brandon Angel and ASU’s junior guard DJ Horne accomplished the feat.

Stanford kept that momentum going into the second half with nine consecutive more and eventually increased the margin to 13 the first three and a half minutes of the stanza.

Arizona kept the contest competitive by knocking the lead down to single digits and continued to battle the home squad. Stanford was able to hold on to the lead late in the game until Horne drilled a Three (1:50), giving Arizona a two point gap (67-65), and completed a 15-point turnaround in the second half.

During that stretch of time, the Cardinal were scoreless for just over four minutes. Horne sealed the game with two free throws with 8 seconds left in the game; as the final buzzer sounded, the visitors were unruly hot guests and left the court with a 4-point comeback victory, 69-65.

The Cardinal had three players in double-figures: Spencer Jones led the team with 17 points on 5 3-pointers, Brandon Angel (13), and Harrison Ingram (12), 8 rebounds and 5 assists.

The Sun Devils presented four hoopers with double-digits: DJ Horne led all players with 18 points, sophomore guard and Sacramento native, Frankie Collins (15), and the senior Cambridge Brothers, Desmond Jr. (13) and Devan (10) & 10 rebounds.

Stanford will host #4 Arizona State Saturday February 11, while Arizona travels across the Bay to take on California on the same date.

It was the Cardinal’s sixth consecutive win over U of A (18-6 overall, 8-5 Pac-12), a streak that includes the 2021 NCAA championship contest. Stanford (23-3 overall, 11-2 Pac-12) moved into first place in the conference standings, a half-game ahead of No. 7 Utah.

Paris Clark, Esmery Martinez and Cate Reese each scored 10 points to lead the Wildcats, who were coming off their first road sweep of UCLA and USC since 2002. Martinez had six rebounds and Clark had four assists.

Arizona shot 35.8 percent from the field, and the defeat was the program’s most lopsided loss since Kansas beat them by 27 in December. Stanford, meanwhile, scored 50 of its points in the paint.

Stanford led 38-27 at halftime, outscored the Wildcats 24-10 in the third quarter. Hannah Jump’s 3-pointer gave the Cardinal a 21-point lead midway through the period. The Cardinal led by as many as 37 in the fourth quarter.

Colorado Beats Stanford In a Blow-Out Second Half 84-62

By Barbara Mason

Sunday the Stanford Cardinal (10-13, 4-8) traveled to Colorado in their two game road trip to take on the Buffaloes (14-11, 6-8). Colorado has won ten games on their home court so they are tough at home.

This will be a Pac-12 showdown and the Cardinal are eyeing a sixth win in a row. Colorado beat Stanford back in December outlasting them 73-70. The Buffaloes did it again on Saturday defeating the Cardinal 84-64.

Prior to the five game winning streak for the Cardinal they had a five game losing streak. They have since played some improved ball beating some very good teams which included Oregon State, Oregon, Chicago State, California and Utah in an upset 78-72 Thursday night.

It was a crazy first half for Stanford. At one time the Buffalos went on an 8-0 run and they did this inside of 43 seconds. Both teams had six turnovers in the first half and at one time Stanford had an 11 point deficit. The Cardinal turned the half around tying up the game at the buzzer 39-39 and it was a new ball game going into the second half.

Stanford was shooting at 57.7% from the field but it was the Colorado efficiency from beyond the arc at 44.4% that was giving them the edge during the first half.

Colorado went on a 16-0 run to start the second half leading 55-39 at 13:21. Stanford finally scored but it took them nearly seven minutes to do it. The Cardinal desperately needed some offense and stops and they just were not coming. With 7:40 left in the game Colorado led by 23 points.

It was a real disappointment for the Cardinal especially since they had worked so hard to tie up this game at the half. Brandon Angel finished with 14 points. The poor offense in the second half was one of the determining factors dropping from 57.7% to 42.1%.

Next Thursday the Cardinal will be back home to take on Arizona State. Tipoff is scheduled for 7:00 PM.

Daniels sank a pair of free throws with 8 seconds to play, helping the Huskies (13-9 overall, 5-7 Pac-12) pull off the upset. The Huskies finished the second half with a 9-2 run. Lauren Schwartz sank a pair of free throws before Ladine made a layup to put Washington ahead with 1:40 to play.

Stanford led 17-8 after the first quarter, but the Huskies closed the first half with a 10-0 run and outscored the Cardinal 30-17 in the second quarter to take 38-34 lead into the break.

Washington then scored the first six points of the third quarter before a Brink layup ignited a 9-0 Stanford run. Brink’s three-point play at the end of the third quarter gave the Cardinal a 54-53 lead. But the Huskies outscored Stanford 19-13 in the fourth.

The Cardinal travel to Tucson on Thursday to face Arizona.

Sunday, January 29, 2023

Junior center Cameron Brink registered a notable triple-double while leading No. 3 Stanford Cardinal (21-2) to a 62-54 Pac-12 women’s basketball victory over Oregon Sunday before 5,133 at Maples Pavilion.

The 6-foot-4 Brink accomplished the first triple-double in program history that included blocked shots. She finished with 16 points, 11 rebounds and a career-high ten blocks. It was also the first triple-double in NCAA Division I women’s basketball featuring blocked shots since Tamari Key did it for Tennessee against Texas on Nov. 21, 2021.

The Cardinal (21-2 overall, 9-1 Pac-12) won their 21st straight conference game at home. Hannah Jump was next in scoring for Stanford with 14 points, and Haley Jones added eight points, 16 rebounds and four assists. Brooke Demetre scored nine points, and Talana Lepolo had six assists.

Phillipina Keyi led the Ducks (15-7, 5-5) with 12 points and 17 rebounds. Chance Gray was next for Oregon with 12 points, followed by Grace Vanslooten with 11.

Oregon came into the game averaging 79.9 points, but was plagued by cold shooting. The Ducks missed 13 of their first 15 shots and didn’t make a basket over the final 5:35 of the first quarter. Oregon had a stretch of missing 17 straight shots in the first half and wound up hitting only 25 percent from the field.

The Cardinal had a 46-37 lead after three quarters and used a 7-2 run to pull away in the fourth quarter.

Stanford’s next game is on Friday at Washington State.
