In the second half, Stanford jumped out to a 35 point lead half way through the second half, ultimately putting the game out of the Seawolves' reach.

Pratt's 13 points lead the Seawolves as Mike Nelson chipped in with nine. Brenton Thomas came off the bench to grab a team-high four rebounds.

For Stanford, Landry Fields had a game-high 15 points and Andrew Zimmermann added a double-double of 13 points and 10 boards. Emmanuel Igbinosa (11), Jarrett Mann (11) and Jack Trotter (10) all came off the bench to score in double-figures for the Cardinal.
