Stanford upset Kansas, 60-57, to advance to the Sweet Sixteen in the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament in a South Regional matchup Sunday.
The Cardinal (23-12) will now face upstart Dayton next Thursday in their first appearance this deep in the tournament since 2008. With an extremely tough, inside game, Stanford's defense won the game, out-rebounding the Jayhawks, 33-30, and holding them to 33 percent shooting.
Stanford led most of the second half by a small margin. Kansas (25-10) almost clawed its way back into the lead in the final minutes with a stifling back court press.
The highly rated Kansas freshman, Andrew Wiggins, was held to only 4 points, far below his season average of 16.8 PPG.
Dwight Powell led Stanford with 15 points and 7 rebounds. Chasson Randle had 13 points, 6 steals and 4 assists for the Cardinal.
