Cal will look to bounce back from its 1-point loss to UCLA as it faces off against Washington State to open one last road trip to the Pacific Northwest. The Cougars have been a surprise this season in the Pac-12 and currently sit in second place behind Arizona in the conference standings.

Kyle Smith's team is currently riding a five-game winning streak and has only lost once in its last nine games. That lone defeat came at the hands of the Bears, and a win for Mark Madsen's team would mark the first sweep of Wazzu since the 2019-20 season.

The Cougars are led by standout freshman Myles Rice, who was named Pac-12 Freshman of the Week for the third time in a row. He has now won the award six times this season.

He leads WSU with 15.6 points a game but is followed closely by veteran 6-foot-9 forward Isaac Jones, who is averaging 15.5 points.

In the first meeting, Jaylon Tyson shined as he tied a career high with 30 points to help Cal break an eight-game losing streak to the Cougars in the overtime victory.

All time, the Bears are 32-34 against the Cougars in Pullman.

We invite you to join the conversation and follow along for updates as the Bears square off with the Cougs.
