Stanford Has Record Night, Torches USC To End Losing Skid

After dropping their last couple of games, the Stanford Cardinal had a record-setting night in their 99-68 win over USC.

Led by Maxime Raynaud who led the way with 25 points on 10-of-11 shooting, the Cardinal came out as hot as possible. Most of their damage came from behind the arc, as they hit a program-record 19 threes. While the game started off somewhat close, Stanford pulled away with a 25-0 run in the first half.

Freshman Andrej Stojakovic was as hot as they come during this stretch, hitting three threes during the stretch. He ended the game with a career-high 20 points in what was his first game in double figures since December 31 against Arizona. Unlike the last time they played, USC was not hot from the three-point line as they were just 6-of-20 from deep.
