Bears Suffer 60-45 Loss In Salt Lake City

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Matt Bradley was the lone Bear to score in double figures as California men's basketball suffered a 60-45 loss to Utah Saturday evening in Salt Lake City.<br /> <br /> Bradley scored 13 points and collected seven rebounds to lead the Golden Bears.<br /> <br /> Timmy Allen was one of eight different players who scored for the Utes, putting up 21 points.<br /> <br /> Utah built a double-digit lead multiple times in the first half after taking advantage of a pair of prolonged shooting droughts by California.<br /> <br /> The Bears went 3 ½ minutes without scoring a basket, allowing Utah to rip off a 12-2 run and take a 17-6 lead. Riley Battin and Rylan Jones made back-to-back baskets to punctuate the spurt.<br /> <br /> Paris Austin keyed a temporary surge with back-to-back layups. Kareem Story followed with a 3-pointer that made it 17-14. Then California went cold again, missing five straight shots and failing to score over a four-minute stretch.<br /> <br /> Utah did not waste the opportunity to pull away again. Alfonso Plummer made back-to-back baskets and Battin buried a 3-pointer to extend Utah's lead to 24-14.<br /> <br /> California had a chance to rally when the Utes missed 8 of 9 shots to open the second half. The Bears could not overcome their own offensive struggles long enough to get back into the game. They closed to within 36-28 on Andre Kelly's layup before going 3 ½ minutes without scoring.<br /> <br /> Utah finally found a spark behind a pair of layups from Mikael Jantunen that fueled a 12-5 run.
