Golden Bears outlast EWU

Associated Press
BERKELEY, Calif. — Christian Behrens scored a career-high 20 points, including eight late in the second half, Tyrone Wallace added 21 points and 11 rebounds, and California beat Eastern Washington 78-67 on Friday night to match its best start in 55 years. Tyler Harvey and Venky Jois scored 54 of EWU’s 67 points; Harvey with a season-high 31 and Jois with 23. Sam Singer also had a career high with 15 points while Jordan Mathews added 13 for the Golden Bears (10-1). Cal has won seven straight games despite being without half of its starting backcourt. The Bears overcame a sluggish start for the third consecutive game behind a pair of big runs. Cal closed the first half on a 16-2 burst, then outscored the Eagles 20-5 in less than four minutes during the second half to pull away from the Eagles (8-4).
