Stanford outlasts San José State, 78-73
Stephen R. Sylvanie-USA TODAY SportsFreshman Bryce Wills has played significant minutes this season, but has seldom been called upon to handle the ball. Tonight he was thrust into starting at the point after a practice injury left Cormac Ryan in a boot, and a bout with the flu left Daejon Davis in the locker room.
Without either of their primary ball handlers in the lineup, the Stanford offense was sluggish out of the gate. When Daejon Davis finally entered the game with 8 minutes in the half, Stanford only had 13 points on the board and trailed the underdog Spartans by 9. It was a forgettable offensive start.
