The Trojans average 76 ppg and have held their opponents to 60.8 ppg. Opponents FG% is 35.6, 27.5 3PT. The only negative stats for them/positive for us are:
(1) USC shoots 60% FT
(2) they have a slightly negative TO margin (9.8 opponents to 10.5 USC)

Way to go, Stanford! I was not expecting the team to play this well against a good opponent after a 19-day layoff that included player illnesses (i.e. no practices). I don't follow teams outside the conference, but I have to think that Harrison Ingram is going to be getting national recognition now and at the end of the season. HI scored 21 on 6-11 FG including 3-5 from 3, 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 0 TOs.

As for FT shooting, USC shot 21-32 or 65.6%, above their season average coming in to the game but still not good. Stanford shot 15-21 or 71.4% which was better than I expected. The teams tied for TOs at 11, but I think Stanford had 8 or so at halftime. The fact that USC didn't apply more pressure defense in the final five minutes really surprises me considering how talented they are and how TO prone Stanford is.

The real difference was in 3-pt shooting: USC was 6-21 (28.6%) and Stanford went Lexie-vs-Oregon crazy and shot 10-24 (41.7%).

The good news, if you can call it that, about having to travel mid-week to Pullman is that the players likely won't have to miss class since everything is online (am assuming that lectures are recorded).
