Trailing 36-35 with 17:07 left in the second half, Stanford embarked on a 31-4 scoring run over the next 10 minutes to seal the victory over the Grizzlies and win its 10th straight season opener.
The Cardinal has been picked 10th in the Pac-12 men’s basketball preseason poll, as voted on by media who cover the league.
Stanford embarked on a 10-day European tour from Aug. 18-28, visiting Italy, Germany and Switzerland as part of an educational and cultural experience that included four exhibition games.
