Bears Beat Highlanders 84-70 For Another Solid Win At Haas Pavilion.
BERKELEY — Nojus Indrusaitis busted out a 30-point night for the California men's basketball team as the Golden Bears notched an 84-70 win over visiting Radford tonight at Haas Pavilion. The junior transfer's career night saw him hit six of Cal's 17 total 3-pointers in the game, which marked a new program record.
Cal hit nine 3-pointers in the first half to help lead things 45-37 at the break, shooting 53 percent from beyond the arc and 48.3 percent overall. Radford shot 47.1 percent from the floor but had the edge on the boards 18-16 by halftime. Eight more 3-pointers fell for the Bears in the second half, helping to turn a one-point game into a Cal-controlled final stretch. The Bears finished out the game shooting more 3-pointers than 2-pointers, going 17-of-35 from beyond the arc and 29-59 overall for a final overall shooting percentage of 49.2 percent. Radford wrapped up at 41.5 percent, making seven 3-pointers while leading on the boards 38-25. Cal, meanwhile, churned out 23 assists in the victory.
Indrusaitis' 30 points led all scorers, and he was joined in double digits by Michael Cooper's 16 points and Jake Wilkins with 13. Jordan Ross served up seven assists for the Bears. Radford had one player finish in double figures with Frederik Erichsen's 16 points for the Highlanders.
The Bears buried three straight 3-pointers to turn an early deficit into a 17-10 Cal advantage with 14:10 on the clock, as Jordan Ross, Jake Wilkins and Michael Cooper all cashed in from beyond the arc. Cal big men Mantas Kocanas and Sammie Yeanay joined the 3-point parade later, going back-to-back to take the Bears ahead 27-20 at the 10-minute mark. Wilkins worked his way into a double-digit day with a bucket and another three to build a 37-29 Cal lead with 5:25 to go in the first half. Indrusaitis drained Cal's nine 3-pointer of the game at 2:55, and the Bears would grip a 45-37 lead going into the locker room at the half.
Radford made a 7-0 surge in the second to get it to a one-point margin with 12:40 on the clock before Michael Cooper nabbed a steal and found Wilkins for a dunk and a key spark for the Bears. Ross converted a three-point play next, and Cal was up 57-51 with 11 minutes to go. Indrusaitis bought himself a new career high and second straight 20-point outing with a 3-pointer at 8:38 to net 22 points for himself and a 65-56 Cal advantage. TT Carr and Cooper unleashed from 3-point land next, and the Bears had its biggest lead in hand, up 71-58 with seven minutes to go. Indrusaitis wasn't finished, though. His sixth 3-pointer of the night bumped him up to a 30-point outing and topped off the Bears' final 84-70 victory.
