Friday, Feb. 24 | 7 PM PT | Haas Pavilion | Berkeley, Calif.

TICKETS | FS1 | GOLDEN BEAR SPORTS NETWORK (KGO 810 AM) | LIVE STATS
 

With just three games left in the regular season, the Golden Bears look to get back on track this Friday when California men's basketball hosts Oregon State in Haas Pavilion at 7 p.m. Cal's home finale airs live on Fox Sports 1 and on KGO 810 AM.

The Bears have dropped three consecutive games, all by five points or less, but remain within reach of a first-round bye at the Pac-12 Tournament. A win over the Beavers would keep Cal in the running and give the Bears a regular-season sweep over Oregon State after Cal claimed a 69-58 victory in Corvallis earlier this season.

Cal will honor the careers of seniors Jabari Bird, Sam Singer, Roger Moute a Bidias, Stephen Domingo and Grant Mullins as they take the floor at Pete Newell Court for their final regular-season home game. The senior squad has a combined 405 appearances for the Golden Bears, and each will be recognized in a special pre-game ceremony.

Cal looks to wrap up home action with a win for the fourth consecutive season, led by three players who average double-figure scoring marks at home: Ivan Rabb (16.1 points per game), Bird (15.3) and Charlie Moore (13.8). The Bears are 6-2 at home in league action this season.

HOW TO FOLLOW THE ACTION: Friday's home finale airs live on Fox Sports 1 with play-by-play and analysis from Aaron Goldsmith and Casey Jacobsen . The California Golden Bears Sports Network has the radio call from Todd McKim and Jay John on KGO 810 AM.

DOUBLE-DOUBLE STANDARDS

With 11 double-doubles in 15 games of Pac-12 play, double-double point and rebound totals are making frequent appearances in Ivan Rabb's statline. Among active Pac-12 players, Rabb is now second in the conference in career double-doubles with 27, behind Washington State senior Josh Hawkinson. With his 27 double-doubles, Rabb has eclipsed Ryan Anderson (24) for career double-doubles among all Golden Bears in the last 20 seasons. He trails Sean Lampley (1st, 30) and Leon Powe (2nd, 29). 

BEARS BUILD ON DEFENSIVE PROWESS

With defense as a staple of head coach Cuonzo Martin's program, California has once again emerged as a force on the floor, where the Bears rank among the nation's elite. Cal is:
• 13th for field goal percentage defense (39.3 percent)
• 14th for scoring defense (62.9 ppg)
• 14th for rebound margin (7.4)

RABBID PLAY

Ivan Rabb is averaging 14.6 points and 10.7 rebounds with 15 double-doubles this season, including 11 in Pac-12 play. He ranks in the top 30 in the country in rebounds per game (10th, 10.7), defensive rebounds per game (12th, 7.56), double-doubles (15th, 15) total rebounds (27th, 268) and offensive rebounds per game (29th, 3.16).

Rabb, who broke the Cal freshman rebounding record last season, has an 11.7 rebounding average in Pac-12 play. Rabb leads the conference in rebounding and and ranks second in both defensive rebounds per game (7.6) and offensive rebounds per game (3.2). In five of the 14 Pac-12 games this season, Rabb has pulled down 14 or more boards.

Rabb started Pac-12 play with a string of three double-doubles -- all three coming with 15 or more rebounds -- including a career-best 20 boards at No. 4 UCLA. He became the first Golden Bear with 20+ boards since Leon Powe in March 2006. He has now recorded 11 double-doubles in 15 Pac-12 contests.

Rabb made his return to the Cal lineup for the first time this season against San Diego State, where he came off the bench and logged a team-high 30 minutes of action. Though Rabb had just three points in the first half on a 3-5 performance at the charity stripe, he finished the game only two points shy of his career-high total with 19 points. After returning from injury, Rabb posted a career-long four-game double-double streak. He has since matched that streak with four consecutive double-doubles from Jan. 29 to Feb. 8.

THE KING'S COURT 

Okoroh's paint presence ranks among the best in the country, where he is top 30 in two categories. Okoroh is averaging 2.30 blocked shots per game, a total that ranks 27th the nation and 2nd in the Pac-12, and his 62 total blocks this season are 26th in NCAA action.

In a four-game stretch from Nov. 21 to Nov. 30, the Derby, England native set career-highs in each game. He started the string off by setting a personal-best rebound total of 9 against San Diego State, and followed the performance with a career-high 5 blocks against Wyoming. He capped off the week by matching both his career-best point (10) and rebound (9) totals and setting a new personal-best mark for assists with 3 against Southeastern Louisiana. Against Louisiana Tech, Okoroh set new career-high boards (12) and assist (4) totals on top of matching his career-high blocks (5).
