Stanford is two games back, and features two of the league’s top five scorers in Landry Fields (22.9 points a game) and Jeremy Green (18 points a game). The Cardinal won the first round in Palo Alto, 54-53, when USC’s Nikola Vucevic was unable to tip in a potential game-winner at the buzzer. That game was also USC’s first after the university announced self-imposed sanctions that meant a postseason ban for the team.-- Baxter Holmes
