导出博客文章BERKELEY, California -- With preseason All-American power forward Ivan Raab
nursing a lingering toe injury that kept him on the bench and in street clothes,
California got a big lift from its defense during a big run in the second
half.Just how coach Cuonzo Martin prefers it.Jabari Bird and Sam Singer scored
14 points apiece and California beat South Dakota State 82-53 on Friday night in
the season opener for both teams.I thought we defended very well, Martin said.
Our guys in the second half did of great job of forcing them to make plays, and
our weakside defenders did a tremendous job of making the next rotation, forcing
them to make the next play, the next dribble.The Golden Bears hardly seemed to
miss Raab, who has yet to be cleared for contact after injuring his toe two
weeks ago.California built a 16-point lead in the first half and pulled away
with a 30-3 run early in the second half to extend its home winning streak to 19
games -- the second-longest streak in team history.Grant Mullins added 13 points
and seven rebounds while Roger Moute a Bidias added a career-high 12 points, six
rebounds and five assists.I think all of it was defense, Mullins said. If
(Kingsley Okoroh) gets a block or Roger gets a good rebound and we can get out
and, it just adds a flow to the game.The Bears had little problem against the
smaller and outmatched Jackrabbits, who kept things close in the first half
before falling apart in the second half of coach T.J. Otzelbergers debut.Cal,
which finished 23-11 in 2015, outrebounded South Dakota State 54-26 and had 10
blocks, matching its season high of a year ago and one shy of the school
record.Reed Tellinghuisen had 14 points and five rebounds but shot just 5 of 13
for South Dakota State. Mike Daum also scored 14 for the Jackrabbits.Were still
trying to find our rhythm offensively, Otzelberger said. We struggled at the
start of the game and then that portion of the second half. We know what we have
to work on. Now we just need to get to work.BIG PICTURESouth Dakota State: The
Jackrabbits showed good poise after the rocky start and kept the game somewhat
close in the first half before things got out of hand after the break. Those are
part of the growing pains Otzelbergers young team figures to go through early in
the season. Daum, who set the schools freshman scoring record a year ago, was
hindered by foul trouble much of the might and shot just 5 of 14.California: The
Bears had the Jackrabbits on the ropes early but let them off the hook with
sloppy defense that allowed too many easy layups in the first half. Martins
squad also lost its cool early in the second half when Okoroh was hit with a
technical foul. Both are issues that have to be cleaned up. Raabs absence was
noticeable, particularly from the perimeter where the Bears were sporadic much
of the night. The feeling at Cal is that Raabs injury isnt too serious and he is
expected to be back in the lineup soon.UP NEXTSouth Dakota State: The
Jackrabbits will continue their swing through the West Coast when they play at
UC Irvine in the first round of the Sanford Pentagon Showcase on Monday night.
It will be the first-ever meeting between the two teams.California: The Bears
stay at home and will get a chance to extend their streak at Haas Pavilion to 20
games when they host UC Irvine on Wednesday. Cal has won four of the six games
against the Anteaters.

-- For most of the season, Washingtons games have been over shortly after they
started. The fourth-ranked Huskies have outscored the opposition by 200 points
in the first half and didnt trail after halftime at all until last week.For
California, its been the opposite. The Golden Bears have gone down to the wire
almost every game, narrowly ending up on top at home while falling just short on
the road.So the Bears (4-4, 2/3 Pac-12) know the key when they host the Huskies
(7-0, 4-0, No. 5 CFP) on Saturday night is to survive the early onslaught and
then come up with a big play late to win it like they did in home wins against
Texas, Utah and Oregon.I think our guys play with confidence at home, coach
Sonny Dykes said. You feel a sense of security I guess. When we play here, guys
have figured out ways to make plays in critical situations.Washington hasnt
faced many critical situations this season, outscoring the opponents 107-7 in
the first quarter and 234-34 in the first half this season.But the Huskies did
need to survive tough road games at Arizona and Utah. They needed overtime to
beat the Wildcats in September and then a go-ahead punt return for a score to
knock off the Utes 31-24 last week.Coach Chris Petersen sees no signs his team
will let up after that emotional win a week ago.If Cal beats us, its not because
were overlooking them. I guarantee that, Petersen said. Our guys watch film.
They know this is a prolific offense. Theyre going to score a lot of points.
Well have to score a lot of points.Here are some other things to watch
ROTECT
THE BALL: Washington leads the nation in turnover margin (plus 1.63 per game)
and has turned its 19 takeaways into 69 points. The Huskies have turned it over
just six times all season and have forced a turnover on four of the six
possessions following their own giveaway.RESTED UP: After being on the wrong
side of the short rest in last Thursdays loss at Southern California, Cal has
the benefit of a few extra days off this week.dddddddddddd. The Bears had just
five days off before playing the Trojans, who had a bye the previous week. Cal
hopes the extra two days off this week helps make the team fresher against the
Huskies.That was definitely a quick turnaround, defensive lineman Cameron Saffle
said. We didnt want to make any excuses with that turnaround. Having these
couple of days off put everyone in reset mode. Everyone has a little bit
heathier bodies now.HOPING FOR HANSEN: Cal has played the past two weeks without
star receiver Chad Hansen, who averages 9.8 catches per game. Freshmen Demetris
Robertson and Melquise Stovall picked up the load with Hansen sidelined by an
injured ankle, with each catching nine passes last week. But a healthy Hansen
will open things up downfield for the other receivers.It will be awesome to get
him back because hes one of the best in the country, Robertson said.DYNAMIC
RETURNER: Washingtons Dante Pettis broke a school record with his fifth career
punt return for a TD last week to provide the winning margin at Utah. Pettis has
brought two punts back for scores this season and also has 29 catches for 470
yards and eight TDs.TEDFORDS INFLUENCE: Former Cal coach Jeff Tedford is now on
the other side of this rivalry. Tedford, fired at Cal after the 2013 season, is
now a consultant for the Huskies. He is not able to do any coaching of players
but can participate in staff meetings where his experience as a head coach
proves valuable to Petersen.He brings things to my attention that not a lot of
other guys can because hes been in my shoes, Petersen said.---More AP college
