After losing to No. 4 Duke over the weekend in Brooklyn, N.Y., Stanford returned to Maples Pavilion and thoroughly enjoyed some home cooking.

The Cardinal had more open looks than the Harlem Globetrotters and outclassed Delaware 84-47 Tuesday night.

Chasson Randle scored 15 and Stefan Nastic, Anthony Brown and Rosco Allen chipped in 12 apiece. Freshman Reid Travis grabbed 11 rebounds, and Stanford had 22 assists and just six turnovers.

You might say the Cardinal are in their Blue Period. After playing the Blue Devils and the Blue Hens, they travel to play the DePaul Blue Demons on Sunday.

Delaware, which finished 14-2 in the Colonial Athletic Association last year (25-10 overall) and made the NCAA Tournament, look nothing like a Big Dance team this time around.

Missing junior forward Marvin King-Davis (hamstring) and senior Kyle Anderson (hand), Delaware used nothing but freshmen and sophomores against Stanford.

It didn’t take long for Delaware to show why it’s shooting just 29.4 percent from the field this season, the worst percentage in Division I. They shot 29 percent for the night.

A slim crowd – far smaller than the announced paid attendance of 4,075 — expressed its delight when Delaware’s Cazmon Hayes threw down an emphatic dunk in the second half. That gave him four baskets in 18 shots. He finished 4 for 21 for for a team-high 15 points.

The Blue Hens hit only a runner by Kory Holden in nearly the first seven minutes. By then, Stanford had a 12-2 lead.

Randle and Rosco Allen hit early threes, and Brown scored six points as the Cardinal took a 16-5 lead.

Backup guard Marcus Allen scored seven points in a brief span in which the lead grew to 31-10.

By halftime it was 44-21, and Stanford had four dunks, two by Travis and one each by Rosco Allen and Marcus Allen.

Delaware shot just 25 percent in the first half (9 for 36). The Blue Hens didn’t make a free throw, in two tries, in the half as Stanford committed just four fouls.

Even Elliott Bullock, Stanford’s little-used 6-10 center, put in an appearance. After playing in 15 games in 2008-09 and 22 in 2009-10, he spent two years on a Mormon mission. He didn’t play in two years after returning to the program, but the fifth-year senior finally played in last week’s rout of UNLV.

Briefly: After traveling to DePaul, the Cardinal take a 12-day break for exams. Their next home game is against Denver on Dec. 13.
