The Stanford Cardinal got 13 points and 10 rebounds from Josh Huestis, while the rest of the team shot 53 percent from the floor as they walked away with a 68-65 win over Utah at Maples Pavilion Thursday night.

Chasson Randle and Josh Owens each chipped in with 11 points for the Cardinal, who extended their record to 14-3 and 4-1 in Pac-12 play, their lone conference loss coming at the hands of resurgent Oregon last Thursday, 78-67.

For the Utes, Chris Hines scored 21 points on 9-of-17 shooting while Josh Watkins had 16 points to go along with five assists and five rebounds.

Stanford went into the locker room with a 30-23 halftime lead before the Utes made a comeback to make things pretty interesting, but Stanford was able to hold off the charge just in time.
