Mullins, Rooks Lead Cal Past Cal Baptist

BERKELEY - Grant Mullins and Kameron Rooks scored 16 points apiece to lead California to an 81-73 victory over Cal Baptist in an exhibition game Thursday at Haas Pavilion.

Rooks added eight rebounds and shot 6-of-9 from the floor against the Division II school that won its conference title and was ranked 14th nationally last season. Mullins, a graduate transfer, was 6-for-11, including 3-of-6 from 3-point range.

"It was great because you go through all of the summer workouts and all of the preseasons, so it's good to finally get into a real game and see what all of that hard work goes into," Mullins said. "It still think we have a lot of stuff to fine tune, but it was just really fun to get out there with all the guys."
 
The game also marked the Haas debuts for newcomers freshmen Charlie Moore and Don Coleman, who combined for 17 points and four steals.
 
The Golden Bears played without preseason All-American forward Ivan Rabb, who did not dress for the contest.
 
"Ivan injured his foot during a scrimmage, but he's considered day-to-day," head coach Cuonzo Martin said.
 
Cal opened the game on a 15-2 run, keyed by seven points from senior Stephen Domingo, who finished with 12 points. Senior Jabari Bird also reached double figures with 11 points on the night.
 
The Bears were able to turn Cal Baptist's 12 turnovers into 23 points.  Cal also held the Lancers to 40 percent shooting from the floor and 7-of-21 from 3-point range. Cal, meanwhile, sank 9-of-23 from long distance.

The Bears open the regular season on Friday, Nov. 11 vs. South Dakota State, with tipoff at 7 p.m. in Berkeley.
