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.
