Carroll College may not be much of a barometer, but the Cal Bears nonetheless were impressive in exhibition play Monday night as they routed Carroll College 93-58.

The No. 14-ranked Bears cruised with the help of an early 20-0 run and were never really tested by their little-known opponent at Haas Pavilion.

Highly-touted recruits Ivan Rabb and Jaylen Brown finished with 11 and 17 points, respectively, as five Bears finished in double figures.

“I thought he did a good job,” said head coach Cuonzo Martin. “I’ll have to watch film, but I thought a couple times Ivan could have taken tough shots with the double on him. I’ve told him sometimes you’ll force shots when the double team hits you just to be aggressive and assertive.”

For junior Tyrone Wallace, the game served as a chance for the team to get its feet wet.

“I think we just wanted to come out here and play as hard as we can, compete on both ends of the floor, defend, rebound and play hard,” he said.

Wallace finished with 15 points, including a couple of highlight-reel dunks in the first quarter.

Off the bench, Stephen Domingo chipped in 13 points, hitting 3-of-6 from downtown.

The Bears as a team shot 53.1 percent from the floor while limiting Carroll College to 35.2 percent.

Cal begins its season on Friday against Rice at Haas Pavilion.
