Tyrone Wallace leads No. 15 Cal past UC Santa Barbara 85-67
BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) - Tyrone Wallace had 24 points and six assists, and freshman Jaylen Brown added 17 points and seven rebounds to lead No. 15 California past UC Santa Barbara 85-67 on Monday night.
Jordan Mathews had 16 points and seven rebounds for the Golden Bears (2-0), who dropped a spot to No. 15 in this week's Associated Press poll following a 32-point, season-opening win against Rice last Friday night.
Michael Bryson, UCSB's top returning scorer, had 23 points in his season debut for the Gauchos (1-1) after sitting out Friday's opener while serving a one-game suspension for his participation in a non-sanctioned summer league game in July.
Brown made a steal and drove the floor for a highlight-reel, left-handed dunk with 10:24 to go. Fellow top recruit Ivan Rabb scored the next time down in a stretch of five straight made baskets by Cal and finished with 12 points, making all 10 of his free throws.
