Sean Miller blasted his team Wednesday for allowing Stanford to generate 17 second-chance points, and they responded Saturday.

Six different Arizona Wildcats had three or more rebounds as they held the California Golden Bears to four second-chance points and outrebounded them 32-24, beating Cal 62-57 to hold their place atop the conference standings.

The Bears entered the game as the Pac-12’s best offensive rebounding team, but they only mustered three offensive rebounds against the Wildcats.

“I’m really proud of our team tonight,” Miller said Saturday. “Stanford was the 10th-best offensive rebounding team in the Pac-12 and they almost had 20 second-chance points against us.
