Stanford opened their season with a 23-point win over Denver in their first game and they will look to go 2-0 with a win here. The Cardinal shot the ball very well and held Denver to 62 points in that win. Cal State Fullerton played better than I thought they would against Grand Canyon in their opener, but they still lost by 10 points. The Titans shot nearly 50% from the field, but they did have issues with turnovers. I do think Cal State Fullerton will give Stanford a close first half, but I like the Cardinal to pull away in the second half for the cover.
