STANFORD, Calif. (AP) -Patrick Christopher scored 23 points to help California win the outright Pac-10 title with a 71-61 victory over Stanford on Saturday.
Jamal Boykin added 13 points for the Golden Bears (21-9, 13-5), who swept the season series from their Bay area rivals for the first time since 1992-93 by winning at Maples Pavilion for just the second time in 17 trips.
Landry Fields had 25 points and 12 rebounds to lead the Cardinal (13-17, 7-11), who lost their final four home games of the regular season.
Stanford will now face Arizona State on Thursday night in the quarterfinal round of the Pac-10 Tournament. The Cardinal avoided the play-in game thanks to its season sweep of Oregon to win the tiebreaker.
