What you need to know about Stanford
The Cardinal earned some postseason bragging rights after a successful outing on Wednesday. They skirted by the Arizona State Sun Devils 71-70 thanks to a clutch eight-foot bank shot from forward James Keefe with 0:01 left to play. Stanford can attribute much of its success to forward Spencer Jones, who shot 6-for-12 from beyond the arc and finished with 26 points and six rebounds.
The victory on Wednesday ended a five-game losing streak and Keefe finished with a double-double on 16 points and 10 rebounds. The third-year forward is averaging 5.3 points and 4.8 rebounds per game, so getting that level of production again might give the Cardinal a chance to steal one over the No. 2 team in the country.
