"BERKELEY Cal bolstered its NCAA tournament resume and completed a regular-season sweep of rival Stanford for the first time since the 2009-10 campaign with a 72-66 victory in front of 9,020 fans at Haas Pavilion on Saturday afternoon. The Bears (19-8, 7-7 ACC) never trailed on the way to moving within one victory of its first 20-win season since 2017."
"The Cardinal (16-11, 5-9) scored the next seven points by flustering Cal with fullcourt pressure, but got no closer than five points. John Camden had 18 points and eight rebounds for the Bears and Dai Dai Ames contributed 17 points and seven rebounds. Free throws were a difference-maker, with the Bears converting 19 of 23 on the afternoon and the Cardinal just 18 of 29."
