Cal falls to No. 11 Oregon, which loses Dillon Brooks to injury
Jordan Bell scored a career-high 26 points Thursday night, and Oregon rolled to an 86-63 victory over Cal that was dimmed for the Ducks by an injury to forward Dillon Brooks.
The Ducks (17-2, 6-0) won their 15th straight game for the first time in 104 years, but Brooks’ injury left them more somber than celebratory.
Brooks, who had offseason surgery on his left foot, limped off the court as Oregon was building a 44-30 halftime lead.
In his absence, Bell took up the scoring slack by shooting 11-for-12 from the field to go with six rebounds and four blocked shots.
Bell’s only miss was a desperation three-point try early in the game to avoid a shot-clock violation.
