California men's basketball returns to Berkeley to begin an eight-game Bay Area stretch starting with UC Davis on Tuesday, Nov. 26. The Golden Bears tip off against the Aggies at 7 p.m., live on Pac-12 Networks.

The Bears are undefeated in Haas Pavilion this season and return home following a pair of losses to Top 25 programs at the 2K Empire Classic Benefitting Wounded Warrior Project in New York. While Cal averaged just 48.5 points in New York City, the Bears return to Pete Newell Court averaging nearly 76 points per game behind three players scoring in double figures -- Matt Bradley (20.0 ppg at home), Kareem South (11.3) and Grant Anticevich (11.0). 

Bradley continued his strong start at the Empire Classic as the lone Bear to average double-digit scoring in New York, which included his third 20+ point outing of the season. He looks to help lead the Bears past a UC Davis squad averaging 69.4 points thanks to three double-figure scoring threats, paced by Matt Neufeld's 14.3 points.
