STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Maxime Raynaud had 23 points and 10 rebounds for his nation-leading 21st double-double of the season and Stanford cruised past Boston College 78-60 on Wednesday night.

Raynaud hit 3 of 4 3-pointers and scored 16 points in the first half as Stanford took a 37-19 halftime lead.
