Maxime Raynaud’s 28 points and 12 rebounds led host Stanford to an 88-51 blowout win over Miami in an Atlantic Coast Conference game on Wednesday night.
Raynaud made 4 of 6 3-point attempts, part of the 11 that the Cardinal made for the game. It was Raynaud’s 12th 20-point game this season.
Chisom Okpara scored 12 points off the bench, Ryan Agarwal added 11 and Oziyah Sellers scored 10 points for Stanford (13-6, 5-3 ACC). The Cardinal led 21-3 less than eight minutes into the game and trailed only once, 1-0.
Stanford posted a 52.3 field-goal percentage, making 34 of 65 shot attempts for the game. The Cardinal hit 11 of 29 3-pointers.
The Cardinal led by as many as 23 points in the first half, 32-9, on Agarwal’s 3-pointer at the 7:36 mark. The Hurricanes (4-15, 0-8) closed the gap to as close as 13 in the first half.
Stanford led 37-21 at halftime. Miami scored the first five points of the second half to make it an 11-point game but couldn’t cut the deficit any further as Stanford took control.
Stanford guard Jaylen Blakes made a wild up-and-under layup that banked in from high off the backboard to end Miami’s brief rally.
Then a 12-2 run put the game out of reach, and Stanford went up 55-32 on back-to-back Raynaud 3s.
The Cardinal led by as many as 39 points.
Miami got 23 points from Matthew Cleveland and 10 from Lynn Kidd. The Hurricanes lost their eighth straight game overall and seventh under interim head coach Bill Courtney, who replaced Jim Larranaga in December.
Stanford, new to the ACC this season, has won four of its last five games. Miami made just 2 of 15 3-point tries and Stanford won the rebounding battle 42-32 as well as points in the paint, 40-30.
