Stanford had lost 14 straight games against teams in the top five of the AP poll since beating No. 3 UCLA 75-68 on Jan. 28, 2007.
“This is the best win since I’ve been here. Easily,” Jones said. “I’ll tell you what, we’re not finished. We still know that there’s top 10 teams in this conference that we want to go at. So we’re definitely not done.”The Trojans were looking to tie the 2016-17 team for the school’s best start in more than 50 years but came up short at the end against Stanford. The loss leaves No. 1 Baylor as the only unbeaten team remaining in the country.
Noah Taitz hit back-to-back 3-pointers midway through the second half to give Stanford a 50-49 lead. The game remained tight from there until Stanford started to open it up late. Stanford: The Cardinal missed eight of nine shots during a stretch in the first half and trailed by seven before scoring the final six points before the break to make it 33-32. That was about the only signs of rust they showed in their return to action.
The Cardinal went into COVID protocol before the championship game of that tournament against Vanderbilt and then had games against California and UCLA postponed earlier this month. This contest was originally scheduled for Saturday before being moved back three days.
