Cal-UC Irvine Postgame Notes

  • Charlie Moore set the Cal freshman record with 38 points (10-of-20 FG, 3-of-7 3P, 15-of-17 FT). He had 11 points at the half and 29 after the break, including six in overtime. The old freshman mark was 33 by Shareef Abdur-Rahim vs. Northern Arizona on Nov. 25, 1995. Moore's 38 points were the most for any Cal player since Jerome Randle had 39 at Washington State on Jan. 14, 2010.
  • With tonight's 75-65 overtime win, Cal extended its Haas Pavilion winning streak to 21 games, dating back to March 1, 2015. The run is the second longest in school history, trailing only the record 26 set from Dec. 27, 1958, to Dec. 16, 1960.
  • The 21-game home streak also ties Virginia for the sixth-longest active Division I streak in the country.
  • Cal played tonight's game without three key members of the roster, who were all sidelined by injury – junior F Ivan Rabb (toe), senior G Jabari Bird (back) and senior G Grant Mullins (neck strain). Rabb, a preseason All-American, missed his second straight game, while Bird and Mullins started the opener vs. South Dakota State.
  • As a result, Cal's starting lineup featured: G Sam Singer, G Charlie Moore, G. Stephen Domingo, C Kingsley Okoroh, F Roger Moute a Bidias. It marked Moute a Bidias' first start since Jan. 14, 2015 vs. Stanford.
  • Kameron Rooks finished with a career-high 15 points, bettering his previous high of 11 points vs. Stanford on Feb. 6, 2016. He shot 4-of-7 from the floor and 7-of-12 from the line (most career free throws made) and grabbed 8 rebounds.
  • Stephen Domingo scored a career-high 11 points, one game after totaling a then-best 7 vs. South Dakota State. His 9 rebounds were also a career best with a previous high of 7 vs. Rice last season.
  • Roger Moute a Bidias set a personal best with 7 rebounds, one more than he grabbed vs. South Dakota State last Friday.
  • Cal trailed by as many as 13 points at 36-23 early in the second half before rallying to tie the score and force overtime on Kameron Rooks' tip-in with 22 seconds left in the period.
