MBB: Stanford vs. Oakland, 7PM, ACCNX - skip75 - 11-06-2026
Similar betting numbers as the opening game - Stanford favored by 13.5, over/under is 147.5, implied score is 80.5-67.
The Oakland Golden Grizzlies (not to be confused with the Golden Bears), from Oakland County, Michigan finished fourth in the Horizon League last season and are predicted to repeat that finish according to the preseason coaches & media poll (behind Wright State, Robert Morris & Green Bay). Their national rankings per KenPom, Torvick, BPI, & Massey are 176/217/179/164. Stanford slipped to 77/88/80/72 following the Eastern Washington win.
Oakland lost at #16 Michigan 82-64 on Monday. They led the Wolverines early 18-13. With 8+ minutes left, they trailed by only 62-55. The Grizzlies outrebounded UM 44-42 and converted O-boards into 17 2nd chance points. But they were outscored 48-24 in the paint and 19-0 on fast breaks. They hoisted up 34 3-pt attempts, but hit only 7. They had only 5 assists and 15 TOs. They have a quick turn-around after tonight's game, playing at UCSB tomorrow at 1:00 pm.
Starters at Michigan were:
#0 Nassim Mashhour (6'6/200 Jr G) a starter last season until an injury ended his season; 16 pts vs. Mich, but 4 TOs & 4 fouls;
#13 Warren Marshall IV (6'6/190 Jr G) the only other returner to play significant minutes last season;
#24 Belal El Shakery (6'8/240 Sr F) U of New Hampshire transfer, America East All-Conf 3rd team, led the AEC with 8.2 rebounds/game;
#10 RJ Taylor (6'0/170 Sr G) Northern Iowa transfer;
#2 Chris Fields Jr. (6'8/240 Sr F) Campbell transfer; led the Grizzlies with 18 pts & 10 rebounds vs. UM;
Rounding out the rotation were:
#3 Ryder Bradley (6'3 185 So G) St Edwards transfer, Lone Star Conf Freshman of the Year & 2nd team All-LSC, scored 12 vs UM before fouling out;
#4 William Kassi (6'10/205 Jr G/F) Indian Hills CC transfer, NJCAA All-American;
#1 Hamoudy Mashhour (6'4/200 So G)
Oakland's coach is Greg Kampe who is in his 43rd(!!!) year on the job with the Grizzlies - the longest tenured coach in the nation.
I'm looking for Stanford to have a big edge on points in the paint and fast break points as they did vs E. Wash. (and as UM did vs Oakland). I'm hoping they can be a bit more successful on the boards and limit Oakland's 2nd chance points. I loved the balanced scoring in the first game - Price, Olajuwon, Townsend Cammann, & Rogers all had 10-17 points. Hopefully the freshmen will improve on their 3-pt % as they settle in. And it would be nice to see more contributions from Young, Batson, Bliss & Maurer.
Monday was a nice start. Hopefully tonight will be another building block - with a little less drama at the end.

I am concerned that we have some "bigs" on the bench who seem to be getting zero minutes. Injuries? just plain they aren't earning minutes? curious if anyone has insight

Price didn’t shoot well but he has some Okorie in his quickness, ball handling, and ability to disrupt the defense.
Bliss had a much better game than the first.
If he and Price both having good nights, it’s a great tandem.
As Captain Obvious would say, Townsend with a mighty all around game.

Stanford 81 - Oakland 63. Michigan 82 - Oakland 64. Bring on the Wolverines1
This win was a little more routine than the first one was. And I did enjoy my freebie Shake Shack burger yesterday courtesy of a couple missed Grizzly free throws. It's way too early for to many conclusions, but it does seem that Stanford is in good shape to take care of business in the games they "should" win. Last season they were 5-6, 4-3, 4-4, & 7-0 in Quad 1, 2, 3, & 4 games - finishing #62 in the NCAA net rankings. The 4 Quad 3 losses were a big problem on their post-season tournament resume. NET rankings don't get started until sometime in December, but these first 2 wins are likely to be Quad 4, with another likely Quad 4 coming up on Monday vs. Rice - and 6-7 more coming up before starting the ACC schedule. Stanford needs to avoid stumbling in these games if they want to maintain the upward trajectory that Coach Smith & Co. seem to have established.
Donavin Young was out with an injury from the first game. Coach Smith said he is "day to day" for the near future. As to the "bigs", Kristers Skrinda & Tallis Toure both missed lots of last season with injuries - I've not heard anything about their status this season - but hopefully they can provide some depth. Aidan Cammann & Nick Townsend have been solid, but will need some help when we meet up with some bigger & stronger opposition. Austin Maurer provided that vs. Oakland, but getting something from Skrinda &/or Toure could be a big boost. Drew Anderson is a 6'9" freshman who could also provide some depth - I don't know how prepared he is to step into a role at this point.
There wasn't quite the same scoring balance vs Oakland as there was vs E. Wash, but Christian Bliss sure came through in a big way - 17 points, including 4/5 from 3 - one from Steph Curry depth. This seems to be a team that could get scoring from a variety of players on any given night, and Friday was his night.

Yeah many cylinders firing so far.
But a misfiring one may be handling an opponents really skilled big.
Coach has admitted this.
Maurer looked a little off balance trying to do the job. 5 boards but fouled out in less than 20 min.
Cammann chipped in some help but he fouled out too.
