ESPN: According to ESPN analytics, the Cardinals have a 86.3% chance of beating Stanford on Saturday afternoon in the Yum! Center
Kenpom: This is the closest that I have seen Kenpom and ESPN agree with each other all year. Kenpom has the Cards sitting at an 87% chance of beating Stanford with a predicted final score of 80-67 to close out the regular season.
Personal: I agree with both ESPN and Kenpom. However, the stats say this could be a decent game. If I was handicapping this game I would have the Cards at a nine point favorite and my prediction will reflect that. Cards 81, Stanford 72.
