California Golden Bears is seeking its fifth straight victory and attempting to avenge last month’s loss to Oregon State Beavers.
The Golden Bears are tied for first in the Pac-12 with Washington and can ill afford another stumble against the Beavers. Oregon State defeated the Golden Bears 92-85 in Corvallis on Jan. 5 behind 24 points apiece from guards Jared Cunningham and Ahmad Starks.
California defeated Oregon 86-83 on Thursday to improve to 16-1 at home. Oregon State lost to Stanford 87-82.
