Stanford surprises No. 22 Cal

Lawrence Hill matched his career high with 25 points and Stanford spoiled former coach Mike Montgomery’s return to Maples Pavilion with a 75-69 victory over No. 22 California on Saturday night at Palo Alto.

The Cardinal’s big win in the season’s first meeting for Bay Area bragging rights ended Cal’s nine-game winning streak and also might have knocked the Golden Bears out of the top 25 after they got back into the poll for the first time since 2003.

Anthony Goods scored 19 points and Landry Fields had 15 points, five rebounds and two blocks for Stanford (12-3, 2-3). Jamal Boykin scored a career-high 22 points for Cal (15-3, 4-1).

Montgomery, who coached the Cardinal for 18 seasons, received mostly cheers before the game from a sellout crowd of 7,329.

Tajuan Porter and LeKendric Longmire each scored 15 to lead the Ducks (6-12, 0-6), who played the last 12 minutes without Coach Ernie Kent after he was ejected for the first time in his 12 seasons at Oregon for picking up two technical fouls two minutes apart.
