Bears Fall To Huskies

Cal Splits The Season Series With Washington

SEATTLE (AP) — Matt Bradley was the lone Golden Bear to score in double figures and Washington powered past Cal, 87-52, to split the regular-season series Saturday at Alaska Airlines Arena.

Nahziah Carter scored 16 points, Isaiah Stewart had 15 for UW as the Huskies (13-15, 3-12 Pac-12) held the Bears (11-16, 5-9) without a field goal for more than 15 minutes during a stretch spanning halftime to take the victory.

The Bears appeared to be pulling away when D.J. Thorpe slammed home a dunk for a 17-11 lead, Cal's biggest of the game, with 11:33 left in the first half.

From there, things would turn for the Bears. Washington held Cal without a field goal the rest of the half, outscoring the Bears 32-9 for a 43-26 lead. Cal finished the half by missing 14 of 15 field goals, including 12 straight, and had 10 turnovers in the first 20 minutes, including five in a span of 4:14 that helped start Washington's run.

Several Huskies contributed to the dominant finish to the half. McDaniels had eight points over the final 10 minutes. He also blocked a shot into the crowd hat fired his team up and helped set up two consecutive Cal possessions with shot clock violations.

Wright hit 3-of-4 3-point attempts during the stretch and Stewart scored on a grind-it-out play in the paint and Carter dunked home a putback of a Carter miss to give Washington the lead for good, 21-20 with 6 minutes to play.

Marcus Tsohonis hit three straight 3s to start the second half, a one-two-three punch that took the fight out of Cal. The Bears finally ended the long field goal drought when Grant Anticevich hit a short jumper to make it 54-28 with 16:20 left. In all, they went 15:23 between field goals.
