Stanford Basketball Game Recap: Gaels Bomb Their Way Past Cardinal

In a bit of a surprise, the St. Mary's Gaels stampeded past the Stanford Cardinal in the second half of tonight's game, 78-61, behind the scoring of guards Emmett Naar and Joe Rahon, and a huge team rebounding advantage. The win boosts Gaels' record to 3-0, and drops the Cardinal (in their first away game -- albeit, you know, still in the Bay) to 2-2. This game, by the way, marked the first time Stanford had played in McKeon Pavilion since 1988.

The game was fairly even through the first 20 minutes, with Reid Travis and Marcus Allen leading the Cardinals to a 37-33 first-half lead.
