Siena 79, No. 20 Stanford 67
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) – Josh Duell scored 16 points to lead Siena to a win reminiscent of the Saints’ stunning victory over Stanford in the 1989 NCAA tournament.
Alex Franklin had 14 points and a game-high nine rebounds for Siena, and Kenny Hasbrouck added 12 points in a rare meeting between the teams. In 1989, a 14th-seeded Siena squad knocked No. 3-seed Stanford out of the NCAA tournament in the first round with an 80-78 win.
Edwin Ubiles scored 11 points for the Saints (2-2). Trailing by one midway through the second half, Siena broke the game open with an 11-0 run, including three straight 3-pointers, two by Duell and the other from Tay Fisher to make it 56-46.
Kenny Brown had 12 points for Stanford (4-1). Lawrence Hill scored 11 points, while Robin Lopez had eight points and 11 rebounds.
No. 22 Kansas State 77, Western Illinois 64
MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) – Freshman Michael Beasley scored 23 of his 28 points in the second half and had 22 rebounds, helping the Wildcats overcome a sloppy first half.
Western Illinois (1-2), a team that’s won only four of its 54 road games in four-plus years under coach Derek Thomas, capitalized on K-State’s sloppy ball handling and defensive breakdowns to pull to 28-27 on David Dubois’ breakaway layup late in the first half.
Beasley hit a couple of shots in the closing minutes of the half, including a 3-pointer, and grabbed 10 rebounds, giving the Wildcats (3-0) a 31-27 halftime lead. He kept it going after the break, scoring 15 points in the first 9 1/2 minutes of the second half.
