STANFORDBASKETBALL November 2013

The schedule...

After opening at home against Bucknell on
Nov. 8, Stanford was featured in ESPN’s 24-hour
TIp-Off Marathon in a matchup with BYU to mark the
beginning of the college basketball season.
Stanford’s preseason lineup is highlighted by
two trips to the Barclays Center, the home of the
Brooklyn Nets and former Cardinal Brook Lopez.
The first comes in November, when the Cardinal
participates in the Progressive Legends Classic
tournament over Thanksgiving week. Stanford is
slated to face Houston and then either Pittsburgh or
Texas Tech. The Cardinal will return to Brooklyn in
December to play national runner-up Michigan after
facing Connecticut in Hartford during in the team’s
pre-Christmas break road swing.
Once the Pac-12 season starts in January,
the Cardinal faces a challenging slate of opponents
with Arizona, Oregon and UCLA ranked in the Top 25
entering the season, and Colorado and Cal also
receiving votes. This year, Stanford travels to the
Oregon schools and hosts Colorado and Utah at
home, while playing every other conference team
twice.
The Card open against Cal at home on
Thursday, Jan. 2.
Stanford returns to Las Vegas for the Pac-12
Tournament in March. Like last year’s inaugural run,
all games will be played at the MGM Grand, with the
first round beginning on Wednesday, March 12.
Stanford was picked to finish sixth in the
Pac-12 preseason media poll.
Arizona is the
overwhelming favorite for the conference title
followed by UCLA in second.

Seniors Aaron Bright, Dwight Powell, John Gage
Josh Huestis, Andy Brown and Robbie Lemons
lead the 2013-14 Cardinal. Powell and Huestis
were named co-captains.
