Stojakovic scores 20, Blacksher Jr. adds 19 to help Cal beat USC 71-66
Andrej Stojakovic scored 20 points and Jovan Blacksher Jr. 19 and Joshua Ola-Joseph made several plays down the stretch to help California beat Southern California 71-66 in a match...NOVEMBER 18 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Andrej Stojakovic - Scores season-high 20 points Stojakovic produced 20 points (7-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one block in 32 minutes during Sunday's 71-66 win over USC.
Impact Cal secured a tight win over USC and Stojakovic played a prominent role, setting the tone on offense alongside Javon Blacksher. Stojakovic has been extremely consistent in the early stages of the campaign, scoring at least 15 points in each of his four outings and averaging 17.0 points with 5.8 rebounds per contest. The lack of efficiency has been an issue, though, as the son of NBA legend Peja Stojakovic is only making 25 percent of his three-point attempts.

Jovan Blacksher - Puts up 19 points Sunday Blacksher logged 19 points (7-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Sunday's 71-66 victory over USC.
Impact Andrej Stojakovic has gained most of the attention when it comes to Cal in the first two weeks of the 2024-25, but Blacksher can't go overlooked as one of the Golden Bears' main scoring options. He's scored in double digits in every game, averaging 16.3 points per contest while shooting 50 percent from the field and 52.2 percent from deep. Those numbers are good enough to roster him across all formats.

He's been extremely consistent to open the season, scoring at least 15 points and grabbing at least six rebounds in his three outings to open the 2024-25 campaign.
