Dedan Thomas Jr. leads No. 10 Houston past Cal

Dedan Thomas Jr. scored 20 points, Joseph Tugler added 16 points and four blocked shots and the No. 10 Houston Cougars beat the California Golden Bears 86-68 on Sunday in Stateline, Nev. Thomas recorded a game-high eight assists while Delrecco Gillespie (13 points, eight rebounds) and Chase McCarty (11 points, three 3-pointers) also scored in double figures for the Cougars (2-0). Houston shot 52.2% and led wire to wire. The Cougars stretched an 11-point halftime lead to 67-44 at the 12:01 mark of the second half after Gillespie followed his 3-pointer with a driving layup. But as they did in the first half, the Golden Bears (2-1) rallied behind Michael Cooper and Jordan Ross. Ross' layup with 8:04 remaining cut the deficit to 71-58. Cooper finished with a team-high 19 points on 5-for-8 3-point shooting while Ross added 15 points and five assists. The Cougars withstood the Golden Bears' final charge with their defense. California shot 43.9% from the field and made just 9 of 26 3-point attempts. Guard Nojus Indrusaitis, who poured in 30 points in a home win over Radford last week, finished with six points on 2-for-5 shooting. Tugler led the Cougars' strong start with six points

A Bay Area Cheesecake Sensation Finds a New Home — in Taipei

In the early days of the pandemic, circa 2020–2021, there might not have been any Bay Area food product as wildly popular as Basuku’s burnt-topped, oozingly creamy Basque cheesecakes. Founder Charles Chen started baking the cakes out of his Oakland apartment, inspired by a version he’d first tried in Japan. And for the next few years, it often felt like customers needed to sell off their first-born child if they wanted to get a hold of one. Instagram flash sales sold out within minutes. When Chen scheduled pop-ups at local restaurants, the lines would stretch, seemingly endlessly, all the way around the block.

Handel oratorio, never performed in U.S., comes first to Bay Area

As his opera career was unraveling, George Frideric Handel composed an oratorio in London in the mid-18th century, inspired by John Dryden’s poem “Alexander’s Feast.” He traveled to Dublin shortly thereafter and created another version of the opus that premiered in 1742, though much of that score was lost to history. Until recently, there has been no Dublin version of “Alexander’s Feast” to perform due to its previously incomplete score, and the piece has never been seen in this country. But that will change this week when Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra & Chorale presents the U.S. premiere of the Dublin version at Stanford’s Bing Concert Hall, San Francisco’s Herbst Theatre and Berkeley’s First Congregational Church. It took of years of intensive research and work by two men — renowned musicologist and leading Handel scholar Donald Burrows and PBO Music Director Peter Whelan — to recreate the score used for the Dublin version. Their painstaking work included the meticulous reconstruction of a lost aria that appears in the third part of the oratorio. “Handel’s conducting score, with revisions, inserted movements and singers’ names penciled in, plus the printed word-book from Dublin, existed only as layers of evidence,” said Whelan, who led the
