College Basketball Roundup - No. California

UCLA - The Bruins rebounded from a tough loss to the Huskies by beating the Cal Golden Bears, 81-66. For UCLA, they returned to their dominating offense after playing their last two games very listlessly. The Bruins forced 21 turnovers, and held the Bears to 45% shooting. Darren Collison led UCLA with 18 points and 5 assists. Jrue Holiday scored 13 points, and Josh Shipp added 11. Theo Robertson led Cal with 19 points, and Jerome Randle scored 11.

USC - The Trojans held off a late rally to defeat Stanford 70-69. The Cardinal had a chance to win the game at the last second, but Lawrence Hill's jumper went in and out. Taj Gibson played through pneumonia and Daniel Hackett battled the flu, but both played close to 40 minutes. USC is now within a game of first in the Pac-10. Gibson had 20 points on 9-for-12 shooting and Hackett grabbed 12 points, 4 assists and 2 steals. Hill led Stanford with 19 points and Landry Fields added 18 points and 6 rebounds.
