Stanford gets its first opportunity to respond to a loss Saturday night when the Cardinal host Cal Poly in a nonconference game. The Cardinal (6-1) opened 5-0 at home and then won at Santa Clara last Saturday before coming up short against Grand Canyon 78-71 in a neutral-site affair Tuesday in Palm Desert, Calif. Despite his team's winning streak, first-year Stanford coach Kyle Smith made two changes in his starting lineup for the Grand Canyon game, inserting forward Aidan Cammann and guard Ryan Agarwal among his three standouts, Maxime Raynaud, Jaylen Blakes and Oziyah Sellers. Cammann and Agarwal combined for just eight points, but Smith said afterward he's confident they'll be more productive as the young players become more familiar with their surroundings.
