Landry Fields scored 25 points and grabbed 13 rebounds to lead Stanford to a 57-52 win over Virginia in the Cancun Classic on Tuesday night in Mexico.

The Cardinal (3-2) trailed 47-46 with 4:52 left in the second half after Virginia's Mustapha Farrakhan hit two free throws. That's the last time the Cavaliers (3-2) would lead, as Stanford answered with nine straight points to take a 55-47 lead with 2:46 remaining.

"That's when your defense has got to be at it's strongest," Virginia coach Tony Bennett said. "You got a lead, it's getting later in the game and you really got to come up with some tough plays. We still had some chances, but we missed some bunnies, missed some free throws to make it interesting and we couldn't capitalize on those either."

Virginia cut the lead to three points with 12 seconds left to play. But Fields, who went 9-for-16 from the floor, made two free throws to give Stanford enough cushion for the win.

Jeff Jones led the Cavaliers with 17 points and Sylven Landesberg had 16.

Both teams shot poorly as Stanford shot 38.9 percent from floor (21-for-54), while Virginia shot 37.8 percent (17-for-45).
