PULLMAN, Wash. -- California men's basketball used double-figure scoring efforts from three Golden Bears to sweep the series against Washington State Wednesday night at Beasley Coliseum. The Bears topped the Cougars, 66-57, for their first road win of the year and first Pac-12 series sweep since 2017.

Paris Austin scored 19 points and Andre Kelly added 16 to lead Cal (11-15, 5-8 Pac-12). Matt Bradley added 11 points for his 25th game in double figures this year.

Austin went just 3 of 8 from the field but was 12 of 12 from the charity stripe to match a school record in conference play. His 12-for-12 mark at the free throw line tied Larry Friend's record of 12-12 shooting at UCLA in 1956.

Washington State (14-13, 5-9 Pac 12) struggled to find good looks at the basket without starting point guard Isaac Bonton, who suffered a leg injury in the Cougars 86-83 overtime loss against UCLA last week.

After shooting 29 percent in their last matchup against USC without Bonton, including 2 of 26 from 3-point range, Washington State shot 30 percent against the Golden Bears, going 5 of 23 from beyond the arc. Leading scorer CJ Elleby, who averages 18.7 points per game, was held 13 points on 4 of 18 shooting. Tony Miller led the way for the Cougars with 18 points.

Washington State has now lost three in a row for the first time this season.

The Golden Bears jumped out to an 30-13 lead late in the first half as the Cougars struggled to make a basket, shooting just 27 percent from the field including 1-of-11 from 3-point range. At the break California was up 32-20.

The Cougars cut the Golden Bear lead to 60-54 with under two minutes to play after Miller scored a quick seven points, however, it was to little to late. Austin made six shots from the free throw line to close out the Cougars.
