Pac 12: California storms past 11th-ranked Oregon

Jabari Bird scored 16 of his season-high 24 points in the first half and punctuated his big night with a reverse dunk in the final seconds, leading California to a 83-63 victory over No. 11 Oregon on Thursday night at Berkeley, California.

The Golden Bears never trailed and led by as much as 25 while remaining unbeaten at Haas Pavilion this season.

It’s Cal’s third win over a ranked team this season and second in less than three weeks.

Jaylen Brown added 16 points, Ivan Rabb had 13 points and seven rebounds, while Tyrone Wallace finished with 10 points in his return to the lineup after missing nearly a month because of injury.

Dillon Brooks scored 17 points, and Chris Boucher added 11 points and six rebounds for Oregon. The Ducks had their six-game winning streak snapped.

Cal lost to Oregon 68-65 when the two teams met in Eugene. This time, the Bears left no doubt.

Bird got Cal off to a fast start with three quick 3-pointers early and repeatedly burned the Ducks from the perimeter. He finished with five 3s and the Bears had nine overall.

Oregon made one final push late and pulled within 72-57 with 4:51 remaining before Kameron Rooks scored on a tip-in to half the Ducks’ surge. Brown followed with three consecutive baskets for Cal before Bird scored on a reverse dunk to cap the Bears’ scoring and bring the sellout crowd of 10,628 to its feet.

It’s another big step forward for coach Cuonzo Martin’s team. Cal previously beat No. 21 Utah, No. 12 Arizona and lost by one in overtime to then-No. 5 Virginia on Dec. 22.

Cal made its first five 3-point attempts and led 21-9 just six minutes into the first half. Bird, who was limited to just two points in the Bears’ loss at Oregon in January, led the Bears with nine points – all from behind the arc.

Sam Singer made two free throws to extend the lead to 29-9 with 10 minutes left.

Oregon never recovered from the slow start and trailed 42-24 at halftime.

Oregon State 62, Stanford 50: Tres Tinkle had 19 points and the Beavers never trailed at Stanford, California, giving them their first road victory in a conference game in more than a year.

Gary Payton added 14 points and Malcolm Duvivier had 11 for Oregon State, which has won three straight.

Rosco Allen scored 12 points to lead the Cardinal, who lost their fourth straight.

It was just the second win by Oregon State at Stanford since 1993. The Beavers had lost 20 of their previous 21 games at Maples Pavilion, winning only in 2009. The victory was the first for the Beavers in a conference road game since Jan. 17, 2015, snapping a streak of 10 straight road losses in Pac-12 play.

Oregon State opened the second half with an 11-4 run to build an 11-point lead, and a 3-pointer by Payton with 8 1/2 minutes remaining made it 47-35. The Cardinal made a late run, scoring six straight points to pull within 51-46 with three minutes left, but Payton responded with a layup and Stanford never got closer than five points the rest of the game.

The Beavers led 33-29 at halftime after shooting better from beyond the 3-point line (6 of 12) than from inside the arc (6 of 14) in the first half. Duvivier had three of those 3-pointers and Tinkle had two.
