Stanford Basketball 2015: Cardinal Win season opener in overtime

Well, tough to say I was expecting that. Your Cardinal got their 2015-16 campaign underway against fellow 2015 NIT contenders The UW-Green Bay Phoenix with an overtime win, 93-89. A big question coming into this season was if a team without its three highest scorers (the graduated Chasson Randle, Anthony Brown, and Stefan Nastic) -- and its presumed returning leader Marcus Allen sidelined -- could find a way to put the ball in the basket enough times to win consistently. While that's still an open question, they did manage to do that against a decent Green Bay squad tonight.
