General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy compliance:

Adequate sourcing: - All ok except for one sentence in Game summary: "With 3:10 remaining on the clock, California's Dalton scored on a hook shot." --> Shouldn't it be "jump shot" instead, per the source?
Neutral:
Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: It reads well, the sources are reliable and the refs support what they're citing, except for the query about "hook shot" above. Olivaw-Daneel (talk) 09:36, 6 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
