SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Kareem South poured in a season-high 20 points, but the effort wasn't enough to propel Cal past San Francisco as the Dons dropped the Golden Bears, 76-64, Wednesday night at War Memorial Gymnasium.

South led the Bears with Cal's fifth 20-point game of the season, and Matt Bradley added 11 points to score in double figures for the seventh of eight games this season. 

Jimbo Lull had 20 points and eight rebounds for USF. Remu Raitanen scored 15 points, and Jamaree Bouyea and Charles Minlend added 10 points apiece for the Dons (8-2), who were playing the second half of a rare back-to-back. San Francisco lost to Arizona State on Tuesday.

Lull shot 7 of 10 while dominating a battle of 7-footers, while Lars Thiemann was held to two points and three rebounds.

San Francisco led 34-32 at halftime then pulled away behind Lull, who had 13 points in the second half. That included a long hook shot that banked off the backboard and went in to put the Dons ahead 62-50.

The Bears got within 65-56 before Raitanen scored on a three-point play then made consecutive 3s.
