Stanford 89, UNLV 60: Chasson Randle scored 18 points – hitting six 3-pointers – and the Cardinal raced to a 12-0 lead en route to an easy victory in the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic semifinals in Brooklyn, N.Y.

Stanford (3-0) shot 57.1 percent in the first half in building a 52-29 intermission advantage over the Running Rebels (2-1). Randle made five 3-pointers in the first half, and Anthony Brown finished with 18 points, nine rebounds and five assists as Stanford shot 14-for-20 from beyond the arc in advancing to Saturday’s tournament final against Duke.

UNLV missed its first seven shots from the field and Stanford took advantage with Randle hitting two 3-pointers to help stake the Cardinal to a 12-0 lead. Goodluck Okonoboh’s layup with 16:21 left in the half snapped UNLV’s scoreless stretch, but after Dwayne Morgan brought the Running Rebels within 16-6, Stanford scored 14 of the next 16 points to go ahead 30-8 on Robert Cartwright’s 3-pointer.

The Running Rebels scored the first four points of the second half to briefly pull within 19 points, but Randle’s sixth 3-pointer established a 69-42 advantage with 12:01 to play. Allen added 15 points for the Cardinal and Stefan Nastic scored 10 points as four Stanford players reached double figures.
