One of the only underclassmen to take the floor on the night, Stanton understandably took a bit to get going in his debut under the Palestra lights. He made his presence felt with a key second half spurt that helped spell a Bonner run and keep the Saints in position to vault ahead. Sharing the backcourt with a slew of other ballhandlers, he was most effective as a floor-spacer, showing a compact stroke off the catch while knocking down a pair of third-quarter 3s. Stanton also stood out as a transition playmaker and drew contact on a key third quarter drive to work his way to the foul line. While he’s still biding his time behind a deep core of seniors, Stanton was able to show why he presumably is next up for the storied Neumann program going forward.
