Stanford's record 3-point shooting overwhelms USC

Maxime Raynaud scored 25 points and Stanford established a men's basketball single-game school record with 19 3-pointers in a 99-68 rout of visiting USC on Saturday night.

The record topped the previous mark by three made 3s.

The Cardinal (12-11, 7-6 Pac-12) used a 25-0 run in the first half to take control of the game for good, sending the Trojans to their eighth loss in the past nine games.

Stanford hit seven 3-pointers during that run, three from Andrej Stojakovic, who hit all four of his long-distance shots in the first half and finished the game with 20 points.

Spencer Jones added 15 points, hitting five 3-pointers. He hit four 3s in the second half as Stanford continued to shoot from long range despite its lopsided lead.

The Cardinal finished 19 of 38 from beyond the arc. Stanford shot 56.3 percent from the floor.

USC (9-15, 3-10) dropped into a tie with Oregon State for last place in the Pac-12. Isaiah Collier, who returned from a hand injury Wednesday, led the Trojans with 18 points.

USC made just 10 of 21 free-throw attempts and trailed 55-26 at halftime. Stanford was 18-of-27 from the floor in the first half (66.7 percent) and made 12 of 19 shots from 3-point range.

Boogie Ellis hit a 3-pointer with 8:04 left in the game to trim the Trojans' deficit to 79-57, the closest USC got in the second half.

The crowd at Maples Pavilion went wild when former team manager Roy Yuan hit the 19th and final 3-pointer for Stanford with 1:37 to play.

Raynaud had nine of Stanford's 41 rebounds as the Cardinal outrebounded USC by 16. Raynaud had just four points on four shot attempts the last time USC and Stanford played, a 93-79 win for the Trojans on Jan. 6 in Los Angeles.
