Tonight’s game should be one of the easier conference road games. That’s because, under second-year coach Jerod Haase, Stanford just isn’t a very good basketball team. Last year, Stanford finished the regular season 14-16 overall and 6-12 in conference.
This year’s Cardinal team had a slightly worse record in non-conference play. While last year, they were 8-4 in non-conference action, this year, the Cardinal was only 6-7. So, it’s possible that the Cardinal may be regressing.
It’s not what you would expect from a team coached by a guy whose pedigree include time at both Kansas and North Carolina.
