Cal’s Stephen Domingo in ‘a really good place’ after Australian tour

The two biggest strengths of Domingo’s game, outside shooting and perimeter defense, hardly materialized in non-conference play. Martin tightened his rotation early in Pac-12 action, playing the former St. Ignatius Prep standout double-digit minutes in four of Cal’s final 14 games. [...] he received an invite in May to join some of the Pac-12’s top players on a summer exhibition tour of Melbourne. Finding playing time on a team that featured the likes of Washington State’s Josh Hawkinson, Washington’s Matisse Thybulle, Arizona State’s Tra Holder and USC’s Jordan McLaughlin had seemed a tough proposition for someone who struggled to crack his own team’s rotation. In the Pac-12 All-Stars’ opening game, a July 10 rout of the South East Australian Basketball League’s Melbourne Tigers, Domingo poured in a team-high 18 points. Since returning from Melbourne, Domingo has shot daily at Haas Pavilion.
