Junior guard Jordan Matthews scored 18 points, leading hot-shooting Cal to a 76-61 rout of fading Stanford on Saturday at Haas Pavilion in Berkeley, Calif.
Cal took a 41-25 lead into halftime and broke the game open with an early second-half run. Matthews hit two 3-pointers in the first 1 1/2 minutes of the second half, fueling a 16-6 run.
Stanford (11-10, 5-5 Pac-12) never responded and lost to Cal for the first time in the last five meetings. The Cardinal have lost three in a row.
Freshman forward Jaylen Brown scored 16 points and forward Ivan Rabb added 10 points and eight rebounds for the Bears (15-8, 5-5).
Cal hit nine 3-pointers, shot 53.7 percent from the floor and outrebounded Stanford 41-25.
Stanford forward Rosco Allen finished with 16 points and eight rebounds, and forward Dorian Pickens added 10 points.
Cal plays host to first-place and 16th-ranked Oregon on Thursday. Stanford will look to bounce back at home against Oregon State on Thursday.
