Rankings from AP poll

The 2020–21 Stanford Cardinal men's basketball team represented Stanford University during the 2020–21 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Cardinal were led by fifth year head coach Jerod Haase and are a member of the Pac-12 Conference. They originally planned to play their home games at Maples Pavilion, but due to COVID-19 regulations by Santa Clara County, California, they cancelled five games and then moved the rest of their home games to Kaiser Permanente Arena in Santa Cruz, California.

Previous season

[edit]

The Cardinal finished the 2019–20 season 20–11, 9–9 in Pac-12 play to finish in seventh place. They lost in the first round of the Pac-12 tournament to the tenth seed California 51–63, finishing their year because of the COVID-19 pandemic, cancelling post-season tournaments.
