BOX SCORE
BAYAMON, Puerto Rico (AP) -- Jason Collins scored a career-high
19 points as No. 5 Stanford beat Memphis 83-60 on Friday in the
semifinals of the Puerto Rico Shootout.
Stanford (3-0) will play Georgia in the championship game
Saturday. The Bulldogs beat No. 13 Utah 65-60.
Casey Jacobsen led Stanford with 22 points.
Collins, who had eight rebounds, was 6-for-9 from the field and
7-of-10 from the line. Jarron Collins, Jason's brother, added 14
points on 6-for-8 shooting and had 10 rebounds.
Stanford was 25-of-50 from the field, while Memphis was
22-of-62. Stanford also outrebounded Memphis 46-26.
"I thought we played pretty well," Stanford coach Mike
Montgomery said. "We matched their intensity, but because of our
ability to rebound the ball they kind of lost their spirit in the
second half."
Kelly Wise led Memphis (1-2) with 21 points and seven rebounds.
"We knew Wise was a good player so we made it tough to get the
ball to him," Montgomery said. "We ran a lot of offensive stuff
you had to defend. We got the ball on the wrong side, we passed the
ball and moved it smoothly. We tried to play big because we knew
they couldn't cover down at the post."
Memphis struggled to defend in the first half, getting called
for 18 personal fouls to Stanford's eight. Stanford made 21 free
throws in the half.
"I don't care about the fouls," Memphis coach John Calipari
said. "I just wanted them to drive the ball and not settle for
jumpers. We're not there yet. The guys aren't taking the ball to
the basket. And when you're playing a top five team you can't shoot
jumpers.
"They don't understand how important possessions are. We're
still working against each other and we need to work together. But
the kids played hard. They're trying. I'm just disappointed we
didn't give ourselves a chance to win this game."
