BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) - Freshman Marquise Kately scored a season-high 18 points and sparked an impressive second-half run to lead California to its third straight home win, 80-55 over Wyoming on Tuesday night.

Golden Bears guard Richard Midgley didn't start after having a wisdom tooth removed Sunday, but came off the bench to score 13 points. Leon Powe added 12 points and Ayinde Ubaka 10.

Mory Correa had 22 points - making 12 of 13 free throws - and seven rebounds for Wyoming (3-3), which was held to its lowest scoring total of the season after coming in averaging 77.8 points per game. Correa fouled out with 3:51 left.

The Bears (3-3), who start three freshmen and a sophomore, have struggled from the field. They were shooting 38 percent entering the game and finished 39 percent (24-for-61), including 29.4 percent in the first half.

Kately had eight points as Cal began the second half with a 21-7 spurt to take control for good against the Cowboys, who went cold from the field. Amit Tamir's 3-pointer with 14:05 left made it 53-39.

It was the fifth meeting ever between the teams and the first in nearly 22 years. This was the most lopsided in the series - the previous four all were decided by five points or fewer.

Cal, playing its last game before an 11-day break for final exams, faced a team from the Mountain West Conference for the third time this season. And they've all been close: The Bears beat BYU at home 47-46 and lost at UNLV 59-57.

Wyoming's Jay Straight easily dribbled through Cal's full-court man press early, but the Bears used a 15-0 run to turn a 20-11 deficit into a 26-20 lead 7:04 before halftime.

Cal began the game 4-of-15 and allowed the Cowboys to get to the free throw line eight times in the first 8˝ minutes. There were 15 fouls called in the first 10 minutes of the half, two offensive against the Bears. Wyoming had 15 first-half turnovers.

Four of the top freshmen from the state of California were on the court: Wyoming's Mikel Watson of San Diego, Powe and Ubaka of Oakland and Kately of San Francisco.
