Dominique Daniels Jr.’s 16 points helped California Baptist defeat UC Riverside 70-69. Brantly Stevenson made a 3-pointer that gave Cal Baptist a 70-67 lead with 1:09 remaining. Jhaylon Martinez’s layup for UC Riverside capped the scoring with 55 seconds left. Barrington Hargress missed a jumper on the Highlanders final possession. The Lancers improved to 7-3 with the victory and the Highlanders fell to 4-7.
And maybe both men’s basketball teams learned something from the Bruins’ 66-65 victory over the Highlanders on Thursday night at hallowed Pauley Pavilion.
