ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - Jeremy Green scored 19 points and Stanford rallied to beat DePaul 81-74 in overtime Sunday at the 76 Classic.
Green collapsed after the game, had difficulty breathing and received attention from paramedics.
Anthony Brown added 14 points and Dwight Powell had 13 points and 10 rebounds for the Cardinal (4-2), who ended a two-game losing streak.
Jimmy Drew came off the bench to score a season-high 17 points for the Blue Demons (1-4), who lost their third consecutive game. Brandon Young added 15 points.
Stanford took a 71-67 lead in overtime before Young's layup and free throw narrowed the margin to 71-70 with 2:31 left. Powell then made four three throws during a 6-0 spurt that extended the lead to 77-70 with 59 seconds remaining, and the Cardinal held on for the win.

DePaul Head Coach Oliver Purnell
On the 76 Classic - "We're a lot closer to being a better team because of the competition here. It's a great tournament it's always great to have teams here from different parts of the country. The finals are always going to be really good as well as the semifinals. It's one of the best tournaments going."
On what he learned about his team at the 76 Classic - "Our team has been resilient; they try to do what we ask them to do. We managed to get back in the game. We rebounded a little better, but we didn't sustain it. We've got to sustain that high level of effort on both ends of the floor. We're still not there."
