Oscar da Silva scores 25; Stanford beats San Jose St. 78-58

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) Oscar da Silva scored 25 points, one shy of his career high, and had eight rebounds in helping Stanford beat San Jose State 78-58 on Saturday.

Tyrell Terry added 11 points, eight boards and five assists for the Cardinal (9-1), who improved to 40-13 all-time against San Jose State and has won 10 of 19 meetings in San Jose. Isaac White had 12 points.

Seneca Knight scored 12 points for the Spartans (3-8), who have lost six straight games. Brae Ivey added 11 points.

The combination of Stanford's substantial rebounding advantage and San Jose State's poor shooting proved too much for the Spartans.

Da Silva, 11 of 17 from the field, scored Stanford's first nine points of the second half in the first true road game for the Cardinal, who maintained a double-digit lead throughout.

Following an early San Jose State lead, the Cardinal began pulling away, leading by as many as 14 late in the first half before settling for a 32-19 halftime advantage.

BIG PICTURE

Stanford: Off to its best start in eight years, the Cardinal leads the Pac-12 in scoring defense, allowing 57.7 points a game, which is 14th in the nation. Opponents are shooting 39.7%, 31.3% from 3-point range. Stanford has held its first 10 opponents to fewer than 70 points, its best such stretch since the 2010-11 season.

San Jose State: The Spartans have seven players returning who started at least one game last year. Sophomore guard Seneca Knight started 17 games, including the final 12 of the season. Senior guard Brae Ivey started 16 games. They opened conference play with a pair of losses, which included a buzzer-beating 3-pointer at San Diego State the last timeout.
