Bears Tally Season-High Rebounds, Grant Anticevich Logs Double-Double In Loss

By: Cal Athletics

STANFORD, Calif. -- Grant Anticevich recorded his second double-double of the season and California pulled down a season-high 41 rebounds, but the Golden Bears couldn't overcome the Cardinal at the Farm. Stanford topped Cal 68-52 in the Pac-12 opener Thursday night at Maples Pavilion.

Anticevich scored 16 points and pulled down 10 rebounds. Matt Bradley, who logged just two points in the first half, turned in an 11-point second half to finish with 13 points.

Daejon Davis scored a season-high 20 points with six rebounds and five assists in helping the Cardinal to the win. Tyrell Terry added 14 points and five rebounds, and Bryce Wills scored 10 points.

California's two leading scorers Bradley and Kareem South were a combined 2-of-17 shooting for eight points early in the second half. Bradley's layup midway through the second half brought the Bears within 44-35 but Davis scored the next five points and Spencer Jones hit a 3-pointer to extend Stanford's lead.

Stanford missed 10 of its first 12 shots and then made 11 of its next 19, including a Jaiden Delaire 3-pointer with four seconds left, putting the Cardinal ahead 32-21 at halftime.
