Plus/minus: WBB vs. Arizona State

In a game that was harder-hitting than the Congressional hearings involving Roger Clemens and Brian McNamee but slightly less than your average NFL game, the California Golden Bears overcame yet another slow start before defeating Arizona State 70-60. Devanei Hampton sparked the Bears with a +11 in 37 minutes to go with team highs of 21 points and 12 rebounds.
