Sallis added eight assists and Reid hit 8 of 9 shots with two 3-pointers. Wake Forest opened the road trip with a 79-73 victory over Stanford and has won 9 of its last 11 games.

Wilkinson made two free throws for Cal to tie it five minutes into the second half, but Omaha Biliew answered with an inside score and Reid added a 3-pointer in an 8-0 run as Wake Forest moved in front 50-42. Wilkinson buried a 3-pointer to end the run, but that was as close as the Golden Bears would get.
