Cal me fall to Washington; USF tops BYU

Dominic Green hit four 3-pointers and scored 17 points off the bench, Matisse Thybulle added 13 points, and Washington improved to 5-0 in conference play for the first time in 35 years with a 71-52 win over visiting Cal on Saturday.

Washington (14-4, 5-0 Pac-12) won its seventh straight overall, but this one won't be an attractive addition to the season resume. The Huskies missed 13 of their first 14 shots and committed nine turnovers in the first half, trailing by as many as 11 against the Golden Bears. But the Huskies rallied to stay unbeaten through five conference games for the first time since 1983-84 when they started 6-0.

Sparked by Green's shooting from deep, the Huskies rallied to take the lead before halftime and pulled away in the second half. Washington was fortunate to make 10 3-pointers as it struggled to get inside looks against Cal's zone defense. It was the fourth time this season the Huskies hit at least 10 3s in a game.

David Crisp and Noah Dickerson both added 12 points and Jaylen Nowell had 11 as Washington put five players in double figures for the second time during its seven-game win streak. The Huskies also had five in double figures in their win over Cal State Fullerton.

Washington's win was its 1,000th all-time at Hec Edumundson Pavilion, becoming the first Division I team to reach 1,000 wins in one arena.

Paris Austin and Andre Kelly led Cal (5-13, 0-6) with 12 points each, but the Golden Bears lost their seventh straight despite giving Washington problems in the first half. The 52 points were a season-low for Cal, and the Bears shot just 30.5 percent, hitting a season-worst one 3-pointer.

Washington somehow led 29-28 at halftime despite one of its ugliest halves of basketball all season. The Huskies missed 13 of their first 14 shots and committed nine turnovers in the first half. Washington trailed by as much as 11, but a run of 3-pointers by Green settled Washington down and Nowell's transition layup in the final minute gave the Huskies the lead at the break.

The lead quickly ballooned to start the second half as Washington scored 18 of the first 25 points, including 3s from Thybulle, Nowell and a pair from Crisp to take a 47-35 lead.

San Francisco 82, BYU 63

Frankie Ferrari had 21 points and seven assists to help San Francisco beat BYU on Saturday night and snap an 11-game losing streak against the Cougars.

Ferrari was 8-of-11 shooting, including 4 of 6 from 3-point range. Jamaree Bouyea had 15 points, Matt McCarthy scored 14, Charles Minlend added 13 and Jordan Ratinho 10 for San Francisco. The host Dons (16-3, 4-1 West Coast Conference) shot a season-high 63.6 percent (35 of 55) from the field.

Saint Mary's 76, San Diego 59

Malik Fitts scored 24 points and Jordan Ford added 21, including four 3-pointers, to help Saint Mary's beat visiting San Diego on Saturday night.

Jordan Hunter had 10 points and Tanner Krebs finished with eight points and a career-high 13 rebounds for Saint Mary's. The Gaels (13-7, 4-1 WCC) have won four in a row.

Isaiah Pineiro had 19 points for the Toreros (13-7, 2-3).
