Paced by four double-digit scorers on the night, California (14-6) built up a five-point halftime lead and never looked back, handing Oregon State (4-16) their seventh straight overall loss to kick off Pac-12 play on Saturday night, with their 69-58 besting of the Beavers.
For the Golden Bears, the steady balance from the aforementioned quartet of Ivan Rabb (18 points), Charlie Moore (15 points), Jabari Bird (12 points) and Grant Mullins (12 points) were enough to help a rollercoaster California team over the offensive hump. Defensively, California held the Beavers to identical 29-point halves in the game, allowing forward Drew Eubanks (22 points) and Stephen Thompson Jr.
