Stanford has gotten off to a respectable start to its season, but it really hasn’t played much of anything away from home as of yet. This is the first legitimate road game of the year, as there have only been a few neutral site games and clashes played in Palo Alto. There’s very little not to like about this team, but there is very little to actually like either. The backcourt is very suspect at times, but the big men, led by F Dwight Powell and F Josh Huestis are making a big difference, at least to this point in the season. Meanwhile, the Wolfpack have probably underachieved, losing three games already, but we do have to note that none of the losses, save perhaps the one to Oklahoma State, were worth clamoring about. The club has come out over the course of the last week and beaten the snot out of some lesser foes, and this is going to be another one of those situations. Stanford hosted these two last year and won 76-72. It’s time for some payback for NC State.
Stanford vs. NC State Pick: NC State Wolfpack -7
