Stanford (ACC) def. Norfolk State - 70-63
STANFORD, Calif. – Norfolk State put up an admirable effort against a strong road opponent but came up just a few plays short of an upset late Wednesday night against Stanford in a 70-63 defeat.
The Spartans (4-2) overcame a 15-point first half deficit to eventually take a second half lead, fueled by 24 points from Murray State transfer Brian Moore Jr. and 17 points from graduate guard Christian Ings. Maxime Raynaud led the Cardinal (5-0) with a 20-point, 10-rebound double-double.
Ings put the Spartans on the board first on an acrobatic finish, but Stanford went into control mode after that. The Cardinal answered with a 14-0 run, before Ings drained a 3-pointer to stop the bleeding.
