Stanford Cardinal Set to Host Santa Clara Broncos at Maples Pavilion
As the Stanford Cardinal women's basketball team prepares to host the Santa Clara Broncos at Maples Pavilion, fans are buzzing with anticipation. The upcoming game is set to be a showcase of Stanford's dominance on their home court, and if recent performances are any indication, the Cardinal are poised for another commanding victory.
Looking back at their last few games, it's clear that Stanford has been in formidable form. On November 28 against Hawai'i Rainbow Wahine, they put up an impressive 68 points with a strong defensive showing that limited their opponents to just 39 points. Their offensive prowess was on full display as they shot 40 percent from the field and an outstanding 81 percent from the free-throw line. Furthermore, they dominated the boards with a total of 44 rebounds and capitalized on turnovers by scoring 25 points off them.
The game against Grambling State Tigers on November 26 was even more telling of Stanford's capabilities. They overwhelmed Grambling State by putting up a staggering 87 points while holding them to just 50. Their shooting was even more efficient than before, hitting nearly half of their field goal attempts (48 percent) and maintaining solid free-throw accuracy (72 percent). The Cardinal also showcased their depth with contributions across the board – tallying up an impressive total of 19 assists.
Against Florida Gulf Coast Eagles on November 25, Stanford continued its trend of high-scoring games by notching up a remarkable total of 93 points while conceding only 69. Their two-point shooting percentage was particularly noteworthy at almost 59 percent.
The SCU Broncos should not be underestimated though; every game is a new challenge and anything can happen in basketball. However, given STAN’s recent performances – especially in terms of scoring efficiency and rebound control – it seems likely that they will continue their winning ways.
Fans should mark their calendars for December first when STAN will take on SCU at Maples Pavilion in what promises to be an exciting matchup starting at seven PM Pacific Time. For those unable to attend in person, you can catch all the action live on Pac-12 Network where you can witness whether STAN maintains its momentum or if SCU manages an upset.
