Cal Golden Bears

Last time out, Cal visited the Colorado Buffaloes and had a poor second half in their 59-46 defeat. The Golden Bears led by three points at the half, but Colorado quickly took the lead and cruised from there. Having taken the lead with 15 minutes to go, the Buffaloes left no doubt about who was going to win this one. Cal trailed by as many as 15 points, led by 10, and covered the +15.5-point spread.

Utah Utes

Utah hosted the Stanford Cardinal and, surprisingly, lost 78-72. This game was tied with six minutes to go in the first half, but the Cardinal went on a big run and led by 15 points at the half. The Utes fought back and got the game close, but they could not complete the comeback and took the bad home loss. Utah trailed by as many as 17 points, never led by more than two, and lost outright as -5.5-point favorites.

Lazar Stefanovic had 26 points, six rebounds, five assists, and four steals in the game. Brandon Carlson added 17 points, seven rebounds, and two assists in the defeat.
