SETTING THE SCENE
Stanford hits the road for the first time this season, traveling to Wisconsin for the Brew City Battle at American Family Field, home of the Milwaukee Brewers. The action airs at 4:30 p.m. PT on FS1.
THE OPENING TIP
• Stanford went 16-16 last season, which featured Stanford’s first win over an AP top-five opponent since 2007 and its first road ranked win since 2014. The Cardinal opened the 2022-23 campaign on Monday at home with an 88-78 win over Pacific.
• Spencer Jones led last year’s team with 12.0 points per game, Harrison Ingram paced the squad with 6.7 rebounds per night, and Michael O’Connell dished a team-leading 3.6 assists per game. Stanford is one of two power conference programs to return eight of its top nine scorers (TCU).
• Ingram, who was Stanford’s first Pac-12 Freshman of the Year since Casey Jacobsen in 2000, withdrew his name from the 2022 NBA Draft to return to The Farm for his sophomore campaign.
• The Cardinal returns eight of its top nine rotation players from a year ago, while also bringing in the program’s first transfer in 12 years and the first graduate transfer in program history in Michael Jones (Davidson).
• Michael Jones had a debut to remember in the season opener, with his 31 points the most by a Stanford player in his team debut on record. The 31 points were a career-high.
THE BREW CITY BATTLE
Stanford will face Wisconsin for the 11th time in program history, with the Cardinal holding a 6-4 margin over the first 10 matchups. The event is the first basketball game at a Major League Baseball stadium since 2015, when Petco Park hosted San Diego and San Diego State. The court will be placed in the infield with baskets near first and third base and center court at the pitcher’s mound.
TAMED THE TIGERS
Michael Jones (31) and Maxime Raynaud (22) each tallied career highs in the program’s 88-78 season-opening win over Pacific. The Cardinal shot 60.4% from the floor as a team, which was Stanford’s top mark since Dec. 15, 2020 against CSUN. The win was Stanford’s 13th straight in a season opener.
