In his home state of Montana, former Stanford men’s basketball player Josh Huestis is regarded as a sort of legend.
Like so many other students in the state, sports specifically basketball caught Huestis’s attention at an early age. He began his high school career at C.M. Russell High School in Great Falls a Montana city of 58,000 located near the center of the state. He wasted no time in establishing himself as a force to be reckoned with on the basketball court and varsity lettered in the sport as a freshman, playing small forward and power forward. The feat was especially impressive, given his high school competes in what was arguably Montana’s most competitive division, featuring only the handful of high schools across
On Stanford‘s next possession, Mobley blocked a reverse layup attempt by Oscar da Silva with 57 seconds left. After USC called a timeout, Eaddy drove, spun, and buried a 12-foot fadeaway with 29 seconds left to seal the win.
Eaddy finished with 14 points on 7-for-13 shooting despite missing all four of his 3-point attempts. The Trojans struggled from behind the arc missing 13 of 17 attempts.
Jaiden Delaire scored career-high 22 points and O’Connell added a career-best 20 points for Stanford.
With the win, USC (14-3, 8-2 Pac-12 Conference) moved within a game of first-place and No. 21-ranked UCLA (13-3, 9-1). The two square off on the Trojans home court on Saturday.
Two career highs not enough for men’s hoops to tackle Trojans

Stanford men’s basketball (10-7, 6-5 Pac-12) returned to Maples Pavilion to play its first true home game of the season on Tuesday against USC (14-3, 8-2 Pac-12). The home debut fell short of the Cardinal’s expectations, however, and the Trojans used 23 points from freshman forward Evan Mobley to defeat the home team 72-66.
The Cardinal’s opening minutes of play suggested that the return home to the Farm after having spent nearly all of December and January on the road was a good luck charm. Senior forward Oscar da Silva got Stanford on the board early with a three-point launch, answering a Mobley dunk on the other end during the game’s first possession.

After a hard-fought road win against Arizona, Stanford men’s basketball (10-5, 6-3 Pac-12) will be back in action Saturday as it faces an underperforming but talented Arizona State (5-8, 2-5 Pac-12) team.
The Cardinal’s past week has been simultaneously the most chaotic of the season and the most important of the season. After a canceled matchup against USC, the Cardinal prepared to take on the undefeated UCLA Bruins on Jan. 23. However, fans learned before the game that three of Stanford’s five regular starters senior guard Daejon Davis, junior guard Bryce Wills, and freshman forward Ziaire Williams would be out for the matchup.
