No. 15 Stanford Falls to Archrival California, 70-64

BERKELEY, Calif. -- Ed Gray scored 16 of his 27 points in the second half as California upset 15th-ranked Stanford, 70-64 in a Pac-10 Conference matchup.

California (15-5, 6-3 Pac-10) used a 14-0 run early in the second half to build a 45-29 lead with 9:51 to go. Gray had six points in the run and Kenyon Jones added four. The Golden Bears shot 50 percent (13-of-26) from the field in the second half and 45 percent (23-of-51) overall.

Gray has scored at least 27 points in each of his last seven games and has led California in scoring in 18 games this season.

"You can't stop a train, you can only try to slow it down," California coach Ben Braun said. "That's Ed. That's also like Tim Young and Brevin Knight -- you can't really stop them."

Randy Duck had 16 points and five assists and Alfred Grigsby added eight points and 12 rebounds for the Golden Bears, who extended their winning streak to five games, tying a season high.

Brevin Knight had 15 points and Arthur Lee and Peter Sauer added 13 apiece for Stanford (13-4, 6-3), which lost for just the second time in its last seven games. The Cardinal trailed by five points at halftime.

Stanford got as close as four after Lee converted a three-point play with 40 seconds remaining.

"Our defense kept us in it," Braun added. "The fans will remember the offense, but I think the defense won the game for us."

"Cal is a very aggressive, confident, veteran team that's played a lot together," Stanford coach Mike Montgomery said. "You look at the loose rebounds. Cal got them. You look at the loose balls. Cal got them. You add all that up and you lose the game."
