Cal Golden Bears
Last time out, Cal took a trip to Stanford and left with a 75-46 drubbing. The Golden Bears were leading with under seven minutes to go in the first half, but the Cardinal went on a big run and ended the first half up 11. That momentum carried into the second half as Stanford crushed their Northern California rivals. Cal trailed by as many as 37 points, never led by more than one, and could not cover the +10.5-point spread.
Sam Alajiki had 13 points and 11 rebounds off the bench in the loss.
Through 21 games, Cal is scoring 60.2 points per game, shooting 41.1% from the field, and assisting on 10.0 made shots. The Golden Bears are allowing 68.7 points, grabbing 31.1 rebounds, blocking 3.2 shots, and stealing the ball 4.5 times.
Colorado Buffaloes
Colorado visited the Oregon State Beavers and left with a 60-52 defeat. The Buffaloes got off to a good start in this game but held just a one-point lead at halftime. It was a back-and-forth first few minutes of the second half, but the Beavers took the lead with 12:04 to go and never gave that lead back. Colorado trailed by as many as nine points, led by seven, and lost outright as -7.5-point road favorites.
Tristan da Silva had 22 points, 15 rebounds, and two assists in the game. Jvonne Hadley added 11 points, seven rebounds, two assists, and one block in the loss.
