The Golden Bears cut a 20-point deficit to six points but came up short against archrival Stanford
A crowd of 6,089 showed up at Haas Pavilion to see Cal play its first ACC basketball game, and although the home fans were treated to some excitement late in the game, they were disappointed with the result
Stanford led by 16 points at halftime and maintained a doublle-digit lead throughout the second half until the late Cal surge. Jaylen Blakes had 20 points for Stanford, and Maxime Raynaud also had 20 points. The 7-foot-1 Raynaud was 4-for-6 on three-point shots. Jaylen Blakes led Stanford with 14 first-half points, and his scoring in the late stages of the first half helped give Stanford the big lead.
But Stanford then hit three-pointers on each of its next three possessions – the first two by Blakes – to open a nine-point advantage. Blakes scored his final bucket of the half with one second left, pushing the Cardinal’s lead to 16 points at the break. Cal was 0-for-6 on three-pointers in the first half.NOTES: Cal’s DJ Campbell returned to action after missing four games with an injury, but BJ Omot missed his fifth straight game with an injury.
