Gennifer Brandon had her third straight double-double to begin the season with 18 points and 11 rebounds and Reshanda Gray had a big second half to finish with 22 points and six rebounds. The No. 11 Bears improve to 3-0.

Sophomore point guard Brittany Boyd had 10 points, seven assists, four rebounds and two steals despite playing just 20 minutes due to foul trouble. Talia Caldwell added 11 points and nine rebounds.

Cal coach Lindsay Gottlieb hopes to beat opponents in different ways this season. The Bears can beat teams with athleticism and they can do the job with size. Today, Cal's post players really dominated. The Bears outscored the Mustangs 52-22 in the paint.

Gottlieb also had to be happy with the Bears' offensive efficiency. Cal had 19 assists and shot 50 percent from the floor.

Next up for the Bears: The Cal Classic by Doubletree this weekend at Haas Pavilion. The tournament features Cal, Eastern Washington, Georgetown and Cal State Fullerton. The Bears open against E. Washington on Friday at 1 p.m.

Kids lined up for a chance to shoot layups after Cal's win tonight.

Lots to work on but Bears win fairly comfortably, although sloppiness made it closer than it probably should have been. Allen Crabbe was just three shy of his career high with 27 points. Justin Cobbs was the best player on the floor with 22 points, six rebounds and three assists and a basic control of the game when he was on the floor.

Next up: Cal hosts Pepperdine Tuesday at 6:30 on the Pac-12 Networks.

In honor of Veterans Day, a giant American Flag was unfurled on the Haas Pavilion court for the national anthem.

Cal's women's basketball season is moments away from getting underway!
