The Sun Devils also have a nine-game winning streak. … Freshman Jerryd Bayless returned to Arizona’s lineup after a four-game absence (three losses) and scored 33 points, including a school-record 18 free throws, in an 85-71 non-conference win over Houston. … … Oregon State grabbed 20 offensive rebounds and had just eight turnovers but still lost to Cal by 10. The Beavers shot 33 percent from the floor, including 18 percent from beyond the arc. … Oregon’s Marty Leunen joined the 1,000-point club last weekend, one of three current Ducks to break the barrier. … Washington State’s Derrick Low needs just three points to become the 28th Cougar with more than 1,000. … In his last four games, UCLA guard Russell Westbrook is averaging 14 points, four assists, two steals and shooting 64 percent from the floor.
