The Cal men’s basketball team ended 2010 on a positive note.

The Bears’ coach finished on a historic one.

With a 74-56 drubbing of Hartford at Haas Pavilion on Tuesday night, Cal (7-5) gave Mike Montgomery his 600th career victory — making him the seventh active NCAA coach to eclipse 600 Division I wins.

Montgomery is in his 29th season as a collegiate head coach, with previous stops at Montana and Stanford; during his 18 seasons with the Cardinal, Montgomery collected five conference titles, made a Final Four appearance and earned four Pac-10 Coach of the Year awards.

“Just happy to get a win. It’s an even number,” Montgomery told media after the game.

On the evening, Harper Kamp paced the Bears with 19 points, while freshman Allen Crabbe poured in a career-best 17 (including 5-for-9 on 3-pointers).

Cal wrapped up its non-conference schedule with the victory, and travels to Stanford on Sunday to open up Pac-10 play.
