Mandatory Credit: Stan Szeto-Imagn Images Maxime Raynaud had 16 of his game-high 23 points in a runaway first half, Oziyah Sellers added 18 and the host Stanford Cardinal rolled to a 78-60 Atlantic Coast Conference men’s basketball victory over Boston College on Wednesday night.
Raynaud completed a double-double with a game-high 10 rebounds and Chisom Okpara chipped in with 15 points off the bench for Stanford (18-10, 10-7 ACC), which clinched no worse than a break-even season in its first year of ACC basketball competition.
Chad Venning had 13 points and Roger McFarlane 11 for Boston College (12-16, 4-13), which played Stanford to a 41-all draw in the second half after falling behind by 18 points at the intermission.
Stanford trailed 6-4 in the game’s fourth minute before holding the visitors to two points over the next 6 1/2 minutes while building a 19-8 margin. Raynaud, Sellers and Jaylen Blakes had 3-pointers in the 15-2 Cardinal burst.
Boston College, which shot just 26.9 percent in the first half, was never closer than seven after that.
Raynaud shot 6-for-8 overall and 3-for-4 on 3-pointers in his big first half, propelling Stanford to its 37-19 lead. The Cardinal hit 53.8 percent of its shots in the half and went 6-for-13 on 3-pointers, while the Golden Eagles went just 26.9 percent from the floor and 2-for-11 from deep.
Raynaud, who began the day as the ACC’s leading scorer and rebounder, finished 9-for-14 from the field while recording his 21st double-double of the season.
Blakes aided the Cardinal cause with 11 points, complementing three rebounds, a game-high four assists and two steals.
Venning collected three blocks and shot 5-for-10 for Boston College, which finished the game at 39.7 percent. McFarlane did most of his scoring on three 3-pointers in four attempts, while also finding time for a team-high five rebounds.
The Golden Eagles, who were held to 60 or fewer points for the fifth time in ACC play, had just nine assists in the game on their 23 baskets. Chas Kelley III had a team-best three of them.

Stephen Curry first active player showcased by Hall of Fame
Sep 25, 2022; San Francisco, CA, USA; Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (30) poses with the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophies during Media Day at the Chase Center. Mandatory Credit: Cary Edmondson-Imagn Images The Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame will break with tradition Friday when it opens an exhibition highlighting the career of Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry. No other player in league history has received such an honor while still active.
The exhibition is titled “Stephen Curry: Beyond the Arc” and takes a look at the four-time NBA champion and two-time MVP both on and off the court. Curry’s business team partnered with the Hall of Fame on the project.
“The exhibit is designed to explore his multifaceted legacy as a basketball icon, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and family man,” the Hall of Fame said in a news release.
This will be the first look at Curry’s legacy at the Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass., but not the last. He is certain of being selected for enshrinement into the hall as soon as he is eligible, post-retirement.
“When I think about my journey, I think about the people who believed in me, the work that happened when nobody was watching and the moments that shaped me on and off the court,” said Curry, 38.
“To have that story told while I’m still playing is something I don’t take lightly. My hope is that fans walk through this experience and feel the joy, the purpose and the gratitude that basketball has given me, and maybe see a little bit of their own journey in it too.”
A closing date has not been set for the exhibition.

Cardinals OL Isaiah Adams facing gun charges in Canada
Arizona Cardinals offensive lineman Isaiah Adams (74) watches from the sidelines during the team’s practice at State Farm Stadium on July 29, 2025. Arizona Cardinals offensive lineman Isaiah Adams is facing multiple charges related to a guns and gangs investigation in his native Canada.
Adams turned himself into Durham Regional Police in the Toronto area on Sunday on charges of possessing a weapon by crime, possessing a restricted or prohibited firearm without a license, possessing a loaded firearm and possessing a prohibited device.
His 27-year-old sister, Allyson Mae Adams, was charged with the same crimes as part of the investigation.
Adams, who turned 26 on Tuesday, has since returned to Arizona and is expected to report to training camp on Wednesday, according to ESPN. The Cardinals begin practice on Thursday.
The Cardinals said Tuesday that they were aware of the situation.
“Out of respect for the process, we will refrain from commenting further at this time,” a team spokesperson said.
A third-round draft pick by Arizona in 2024, the 6-foot-4, 315-pound Adams appeared in 32 games with 16 starts in his first two NFL seasons. He is expected to compete with rookie Chase Bistonis for the starting job at right guard.
