100-Year Family

STANFORD, Calif. - The 100th season of Stanford basketball features a celebration of the program’s storied history and tradition.

For each of Stanford’s home games, an All-American will be featured on the commemorative game ticket. There are also plans to honor select All-Americans during an in-game ceremony at specific games, as schedules permit. Be sure to visit www.gostanford.com for updates.

Over 120 former players gathered during Reunion Homecoming weekend for an open practice, dinner reception, alumni game and skills contests.

The 2014-15 campaign gets underway on Friday, Nov. 14, with Stanford hosting Wofford in the opening round of the Northwestern Mutual Coaches vs. Cancer Classic.

Led by returning starters Anthony Brown, Stefan Nastic and Chasson Randle, the Cardinal is expected to build on last year’s success and once again contend for the Pac-12 title. Throw in the arrival of a top-20 recruiting class, and it’s easy to see why Stanford is poised for another memorable postseason run after reaching the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 for only the fifth time in school history.

This year’s schedule features 16 regular-season home games, 11 NCAA Tournament opponents from last season and the program’s third appearance at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. since last November.

Highlighting the challenging non-conference slate is a matchup against defending NCAA champion Connecticut on Jan. 17. Stanford’s 53-51 upset of then-No. 10/10 Connecticut last December in Hartford represented a signature victory for the Cardinal, which was the only non-conference opponent to defeat the Huskies on their way to winning the national title. Connecticut had won 54 straight home games against non-conference foes dating back to 2007.

Meanwhile, road games against BYU and Texas, along with a potential tournament matchup against Duke, should provide the Cardinal with an opportunity to quickly establish a high RPI before Pac-12 competition gets underway in January.
