For the tenth straight season, Stanford is 1-0. After a slow start, the Cardinal used a big burst sparked by some new faces to top Montana, 73-62.
“In the second half we really amped up the pressure and got steals that led to fast breaks,” said freshman point guard Tyrell Terry. “And that really started the run.” It wasn’t just any run, either. With 15 minutes on the clock and clinging to a 40-38 lead, the Cardinal ripped off a 26-2 explosion. It spanned 5:30 of game time and completely blew the doors off the contest.
Freshman Spencer Jones got things started with a pair of quick-release threes that brought Maples to its feet.
