Stanford survives trip to Berkeley, 84-81
Cal (5-16, 0-9) hasn’t won a Pac-12 game in a calendar year. They haven’t won any game since December. Still, they gave Stanford (11-10, 4-5) everything they could handle, leading for the majority of this one. The game was in doubt into the final seconds.
After a driving layup by Daejon Davis put the Cardinal up 2, Cal pushed the ball up the court, catching Stanford sleeping. Matt Bradley exploded to the hoop, meeting Josh Sharma in mid-air. Somehow the ball went in, and he was awarded a free throw for a chance to give Cal the lead with 14 seconds to go. That is, until the officials went to the monitor.
