After dropping a close call to the Oregon State Beavers Saturday, the California Golden Bears (5-18, 0-11 Pac-12) return to Haas Pavilion Wednesday night to prevent a regular-season sweep by the UCLA Bruins (12-12, 5-6 Pac-12). UCLA has won its last four games against California.
California Head Coach Wyking Jones will rely on his starters — all of whom have been averaging about 10 points per game or more. Sophomore forward Justice Sueing continues to play his best, leading his side with an average 14.9 points per game.
On a 12-match losing streak, the Golden Bears have cut their opponent’s winning margin to about seven points in the last three matches — a vast improvement from the January blowout defeats of 16 points on average.
