The Cardinal have shown impressive form in their past performances. In their most recent home game against UC Davis Aggies, they dominated with a resounding 92-52 victory. Their offensive prowess was on full display as they shot an outstanding 58 percent from the field and an even more impressive 88 percent from the free-throw line. The team also showcased their defensive capabilities with nine steals and two blocks, underscoring their all-around strength.


Another home game saw them secure a comfortable win over Portland Pilots with an 81-51 scoreline. Their ability to control the boards was evident as they outrebounded Portland by twenty rebounds, which translated into ten second-chance points and fifteen points off turnovers.

However, it's worth noting that during an away game at Gonzaga Bulldogs' McCarthey Athletic Center, Stanford faced a setback with a close defeat of 78-96. Despite shooting efficiently at nearly 57 percent from the field and making half of their three-point attempts, turnovers proved costly as they gave up twenty-one points from these mistakes.


Maples Pavilion has been a fortress for Stanford this season; their high-scoring offense combined with solid defense makes them formidable opponents on home turf. Fans should expect aggressive rebounding and efficient scoring inside as well as beyond the arc when Stanford takes on USC.
