Washington St. Cougars
Stanford is currently in a three-way tie for fifth place in the PAC 12, with a record of 7-7 in conference play. Despite some improvements this season, they are not likely to make the NCAA Tournament unless they win the PAC 12 tournament title, which seems unlikely. One of their players, Jaylen Thompson, is injured and will not be playing in the upcoming game. In terms of their performance, the team has some strong scorers but struggles defensively. On the other hand, Washington State has a higher power ranking and better offensive statistics. Overall, Stanford faces a tough challenge and may struggle on the road in this matchup.
