Arizona Survives For 107-105 Triple-OT Win At Cal
BERKELEY (AP) ― Lamont Jones hit a go-ahead lay-in with 1:03 left in the third overtime and also had a tying 3-pointer with 5 seconds to go in the second OT and the tying three-point play late in regulation, sending No. 21 Arizona to a thrilling 107-105 victory against California on Saturday night.
Jones finished with a career-high 27 points in the Wildcats' fifth straight win and Kevin Parrom scored five of his 25 points in the third extra period for Arizona (20-4, 9-2 Pac-10).
Harper Kamp scored a career-high 33 points for the defending Pac-10 champion Golden Bears (13-10, 6-5), seven in the second extra period. Cal had its four-game winning streak snapped.
This marked Cal's longest home game since a five-overtime, 107-102 victory over Oregon in 1977. The Bears won a triple-overtime game at Washington in January 2009.
