BERKELEY - On the strength of his career-high 18 rebound performance against Houston Thursday night, Cal sophomore forward Sean Lampley now leads the nation in rebounding with 14.0 per game.
Lampley, who also tied a career-high with 21 points vs. the Cougars, has had a double-double in all three games he has played this season. After missing the Hawaii opener with a hand injury, he had 16 points and 10 rebounds against Eastern Washington then totaled 19 points and 14 rebounds at DePaul.
