BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) — Lucas Taylor scored 19 points, J.J. Starling added 18 points and Syracuse beat California 75-66 on Saturday night.
Syracuse (10-12, 4-7 ACC) snapped a three-game losing streak.
Jeremiah Wilkinson and Jovan Blacksher Jr. scored 20 points apiece for Cal (11-11, 4-7). Rytis Petraitis added 13 points and eight rebounds.
Starling made back-to-back layups, Taylor followed with a jumper and Elijah Moore hit a 3-pointer to make it 9-0 about three minutes into the game and Syracuse never trailed. Chris Bell scored in the lane and then hit a 3 to cap a 10-1 run that gave the Orange and 13-point lead with nine minutes until halftime.
Cal used a pair of 11-0 runs to twice get within seven points in the second half and Petraitis scored seven points in a 9-3 spurt that made it 67-61 when Blacksher made a layup with 1:14 to play but the Bears got no closer.
The Golden Bears shot just 17% (4 of 23) from the field and made 2 of 14 (14%) from 3-point range in the first half and trailed 40-23 at the break. Cal had stretches of seven- and five-plus minutes without a made field goal before intermission.
Andrej Stojakovic, Cal’s leading scorer (18.9 points per game – third in the ACC) this season, missed his fourth consecutive game.
Syracuse returns home to play No. 2 Duke on Wednesday. Cal plays host to N.C. State on Wednesday.
