BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) — Jabari Bird scored 10 points in the second overtime including an alley-oop layup with 2.1 seconds left and California beat Utah 77-75 on Thursday night to move into a tie for tie for third place in the Pac-12 Conference.
Bird finished with a season-high 26 points for the Bears (16-6, 7-3), who have won six of their past seven games and remain unbeaten in three overtime contests this season.
Bird made two 3-pointers in overtime, but couldn't settle the outcome until catching a pass at the rim from Charlie Moore and dropping the ball through the net.
