California men's basketball heads to Seattle for a tilt with Washington Saturday afternoon. Tipoff is set for 2 p.m. from Alaska Airlines Arena, live on the Pac-12 Networks.

The Huskies are undefeated in conference play and riding a six-game win streak. Cal enters the matchup with three Golden Bears averaging double figures in conference play, led by Justice Sueing's 16.6 points per game. Sueing paced the Bears in scoring in three of five Pac-12 contests while also leading Cal in rebounding in four conference games for 7.0 rebounds per game.

Bradley joins Sueing as one of two Bears who has scored in double figures in at least four conference games. The rookie is averaging 13.2 points. Though McNeill is averaging just 6.5 points in his last two outings, he turned in a season-high 23 points in Cal's last road trip at UCLA.

California is looking for its first conference win since Feb. 3, 2018 (vs. Oregon State, 74-70), and first Pac-12 road win since Dec. 30, 2017 (vs. Stanford, 77-74).
