California lost three key players from last year's squad, but Cuonzo Martin has done a fine job transitioning his new players. The Golden Bears have a 17-6 record and are on a current four-game winning streak. California beat Colorado 77-66 on Sunday while holding the Buffaloes to just 36.8 percent shooting and with Charlie Moore leading the Bears with 17 points and Ivan Rabb adding 11 points and 11 rebounds. That followed an overtime win over Utah three days earlier and the Cal defense is allowing opponents just a .394 shooting percentage. Arizona State has lost six of its last eight games even after an 81-68 win over hapless Oregon State on Saturday. Shannon Evans and Torian Graham led the Sun Devils with 21 points against the Beavers. Arizona State's defense has been lacking with a .479 opponent field goal percentage. The Golden Bears have covered the number 11 of their last 15 games at Arizona State. Play California.
