Stanford led 45-29 at the break and stretched its advantage to 30 in the second half, taking advantage of Rice turnovers and strong free-throw shooting. Jaxson Thompson led Rice, which fell to 1-2, with 14 points; Dallas Hobbs added 12. The Cardinal also got double-digit scoring from Christian Bliss, Austin Maurer and Julius Price.
