STANFORD, Calif. -

The Cardinal overwhelmed Cal with a blistering shooting display and bruising defense in a 101-50 victory Saturday.

David Moseley scored a career-high 28 points and helped break it open early with 14 points during a 25-4 run that gave Stanford (22-1, 11-1 Pac-10) a 42-18 lead before the game was 17 minutes old.

Casey Jacobsen finished with 15 points and Mark Madsen had 13 points and 10 rebounds as Stanford won its 10th straight since its only loss of the season, to Arizona last month. Jason Collins added 12 points and 10 rebounds and his twin, Jarron Collins, contributed 11 points for the Cardinal, who shot 67.7 percent in the first half en route to a 50-23 lead. Stanford converted 64.9 percent of its shots during the game while its defense, ranked tops in the nation, held Cal to 33.3 percent shooting.

It was Stanford's seventh straight victory over Cal, matching its longest run, and the 51-point margin was the biggest ever in the 89-year-old series, surpassing Stanford's 74-42 victory in 1962. It was Stanford's first 1200-point game in the series and its first 50-point margin over a conference team at home.

Sean Lampley had 10 points for Cal, held to its lowest output of the season.

Cal tried to make a game of it at the outset. A dunk by Madsen and 3-pointer by Jacobsen gave Stanford a 17-10 lead but Nick Vander Laan scored from up close and Ryan Forehan-Kelly hit a jumper as Cal pulled within three points.

Then Stanford took over with the force of a blindside hit.

Jarron Collins muscled in a layup and Moseley knocked down a 15-foot jumper. Forehan-Kelly answered with another jumper before Stanford took off again, starting with an emphatic putback by Jason Collins and a long jumper from Moseley.

Then, epitomizing the direction of the game, Madsen wrestled a rebound away from Vander Laan, shoveled an outlet pass to Mike McDonald, who fed the streaking Moseley for a fast-break layup.

The surge carried forward to a 25-4 run that didn't even have a hint of ending until Shantay Legans hit a 3-pointer with 3:25 remaining in the first half, ending a 3 1/2-minute scoring drought by Cal.
