The Tree fell in Santa Clara, but apparently no one was there to hear (or see) it?
According to gostanford.com, Stanford MBB played an exhibition game against Santa Clara on Saturday and lost 83-78. Looking at the box score, I'm guessing the fact the Broncos had five fewer turnovers and five more rebounds might have been the difference. Stanford did shoot 46 (!) free throws, making 37.
The top scorer for Stanford was highly touted freshman guard Julius Price, who was born and raised in Stockholm, Sweden but matriculated from Saint Joseph High School in Santa Maria, CA. JP made 5-11 FG, 1-3 3-pt and 15-19 FT for 26 points in 34 minutes.
Santa Clara is the preseason favorite to win the Gonzaga-less West Coast Conference. Also, ESPN Bracketology has pegged the Broncos as a 12-seed playing in Sacramento. Which is my way of saying that Stanford held its own against a good mid-major team.
As I'm sure folks know, this year the NCAA tournament expands to 76 teams. Is this the year the Cardinal break through and earn an invitation to the Big Dance?
Stanford next plays an exhibition game at Oregon on Sunday afternoon.

If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
