LAHAINA, Hawaii - Dan Grunfeld scored 20 points, including eight in an 11-0 run to open the second half, and Stanford beat Brigham Young 62-53 Tuesday in the consolation bracket of the Maui Invitational.
The Cardinal (2-1) will play Louisville for fifth place on Wednesday. The 12th-ranked Cardinals beat Chaminade 93-63 on Tuesday.
