The Cardinal have been on an impressive run, displaying a potent offense and a stifling defense that has overwhelmed their opponents. In their last three games at Maples Pavilion, Stanford has outscored their adversaries by an average of 43 points per game. Their shooting efficiency is notable with field goal percentages hovering around 50 percent and free throw accuracy peaking at an impressive 95 percent in one of the contests.


Rebounding has been another area where Stanford has excelled; they've consistently outrebounded their opponents by wide margins. This rebounding prowess is complemented by a balanced offensive attack that sees contributions from multiple players across the board.


Defensively, Stanford has held opponents to low scoring totals and poor shooting percentages from both inside and beyond the arc. Their ability to disrupt plays is evident in their steals and blocks numbers while maintaining discipline to avoid foul trouble.


Maples Pavilion provides a distinct home-court advantage for Stanford due largely to its passionate fan base which creates an intimidating atmosphere for visiting teams. With recent attendance figures showing strong support, it's expected that this trend will continue against Duke.


Fans can catch this highly anticipated matchup on ABC as part of national coverage or join in person at Maples Pavilion for what promises to be another display of Cardinal excellence on November 19th at 20:00 local time.
