Stanford lost its star forward Reid Travis to Kentucky, but coach Jerod Haase has recruited well, and the Cardinal returns two of its top players in Kezie Okpala and Daejon Davis. Stanford won its opener, 72-59, over NC-Wilmington with Okpala scoring 23 points and sophomore Oscar Da Silva pulling down 11 rebounds while the defense held the Seahawks to 35.2 percent shooting, including just 3-of-19 from 3-point range. North Carolina, as expected, crushed Elon, 116-67, with Cameron Johnson and Nassir Little leading the way with 21 points apiece. Stanford knows what it's getting into after losing 96-72 to the Tar Heels last season and won't be intimidated as it tries to keep this one close. Stanford has covered four of its last five road games, and it's 4-0 ATS its last four non-conference games. Also, the UNDER is 10-4 in Stanford's last 14 road contests and 18-7-1 its last 26 non-conference games. North Carolina has stayed UNDER seven of its last nine overall. Grab the big points with Stanford and also play the UNDER.
