86-75
BOSTON (AP) --- Chris Bell made six 3-pointers and scored 22 points to help
California cruise past Boston College 86-75 on Saturday.
Cal (18-8, 6-7 Atlantic Coast Conference) never trailed against BC, and led by
as many as 20 points in each half. The Golden Bears ended a two-game skid that
included a 107-100, double-overtime loss to Syracuse.
Bell shot 8 of 13 from the field and 6 of 10 from long range. John Camden made
four 3s and finished with 15 points. Dai Dai Ames also scored 15 points and
Justin Pippen chipped in with 12. Cal shot 56% overall and 48% (14 of 29) from
beyond the arc.
Fred Payne scored 16 points to lead Boston College (9-16, 2-10), which has lost
six straight games. Chase Forte added 14 points, and Luka Toews and Jayden
Hastings scored 12 each.
With 4:18 remaining, Toews hit a 3-pointer to spark a 10-3 spurt that pulled
the Eagles to 80-71 with 2:16 left. Camden answered with a 3 and BC didn't get
closer.
Cal used a 19-8 run, capped by Camden's 3-pointer, for a 20-point lead late in
the first half. Payne's 3 helped pull the Eagles to 43-28 at the break. In the
second half, another Camden 3 stretched the Golden Bears' lead to 55-35 with
16:32 to play.
