The game is set to unfold in a venue known for its vibrant atmosphere and strong home-court advantage, which could play a pivotal role in boosting the Cardinal's performance.

Defensively, they were just as formidable, forcing 21 turnovers and converting them into 24 points.
Another home game against Portland Pilots saw the Cardinal triumph with a score of 81-51. They maintained consistency in their shooting with a field goal percentage of around 42 and continued their defensive pressure by causing ten turnovers leading to fifteen points off turnovers.
However, it's worth noting that during an away game at McCarthey Athletic Center against Gonzaga Bulldogs, Stanford faced challenges despite scoring well themselves with 78 points; they allowed the Bulldogs to rack up 96 points.
