BERKELEY, Calif. — Dylan Smith took advantage of a spot start by hitting all four 3-pointers he took, while Deandre Ayton had his 13th double-double to lead the Wildcats to a 79-58 win over Cal on Wednesday at Haas Pavilion.
Smith was starting in place of forward Rawle Alkins, who was held out because of soreness in the right foot he broke in the preseason. Smith had 14 points on 5-for-5 overall shooting, while the Wildcats also had more help than usual off the bench.
Keanu Pinder had five rebounds in 10 minute in reserve while Emmanuel Akot had three points, a rebound and a steal in 10 minutes.
