Overview
- California won 72-71 after Dai Dai Ames hit a 3-pointer, drew a foul, and made the go-ahead free throw with about five seconds remaining.
- The officiating crew initially counted the basket, changed it to a foul on the floor, then reverted to a shooting foul that created the four-point play.
- Notre Dame coach Micah Shrewsberry charged at an official after the buzzer and was restrained by players and staff, with no technical assessed because the incident occurred postgame.
- The ACC issued a public reprimand to Shrewsberry on Saturday for unsportsmanlike behavior, and the coach released a statement apologizing for his actions.
- Ames finished with 23 points (9-for-16, 4-for-9 from three) as Cal improved to 13-2, while Notre Dame fell to 10-5 after losing a late three-point lead and missing a last-second 3.
