California men's basketball looks to continue a winning week in Washington when the Golden Bears face the Huskies Saturday in Alaska Airlines Arena. The action begins at 3 p.m., airing live on Pac-12 Networks.

After edging Washington in overtime earlier this season, the Bears have a chance at their first two-game series sweep over the Huskies since the 2014-15 season. A win over Washington would also give Cal its first weekend road sweep since 2016 (also against Washington and Washington State).

The Bears head to Seattle after securing their first road victory of the season, powering past Washington State, 66-57, on Wednesday night. A trio of double-digit scorers led Cal, with Paris Austin pacing all players with 19 points, Andre Kelly adding 16 and Matt Bradley chipping in 11. The Huskies are on a nine-game losing streak in league play after falling to Stanford, 72-64, on Thursday.

BY THE NUMBERS

2016 -- Cal last swept a Pac-12 road weekend in 2015-16, when the Golden Bears topped both Washington programs nearly four years to the date. Cal won at UW, 78-75, on Feb. 18, and at Wazzu, 80-62, on Feb. 21.

12-12 -- Paris Austin's 12-12 shooting at the free throw line matched a school record in conference play, tying Larry Friend's 12-12 shooting at UCLA in 1956. Ray Murry owns the overall record (14-14 vs. LSU, 1976).

29.5 -- In their last meeting, Cal held Washington to 29.5 percent (18-61) shooting -- a season-low by any Cal opponent, and a season-low for the Huskies. Cal is the only team to hold UW under 30 percent shooting this season.

16 -- Andre Kelly scored 16 points at Washington State for his third double-figure outing in the last six games. Prior to that span, he scored in double figures just three times in Cal's first 20 games.
 

MORE NUMBERS TO KNOW

• Cal shot a season-best 87.5 percent (21-24) from the free throw line, the eighth time this season the Bears shot above 80.0 percent.

• Cal's win over Wazzu was its first two-game regular-season sweep of the Cougars since 2013-14. The Bears took the series wins over the Cougs in 2016 and 2017 but the two teams played just once each season. It was also Cal's first two-game regular-season sweep over any Pac-12 opponent since 2016-17.     

• Matt Bradley has reached double figures in all but one game this season (vs. Duke). He ranks 88th nationally with his 17.6 points per game and 92nd in total points (457).

• Cal has two players in the Top 100 in free throw shooting. Bradley is ranked for his free throw shooting percentage (59th, 84.9) and free throws made (92nd, 107), and Paris Austin is 61st for his free throw percentage (84.9).

• Bradley has connected on at least one 3-pointer in each of his past 13 games (and at least two in 10 of his past 11 games). 

• Bradley's 20 second-half points against ASU tied a high for a Golden Bear in a half this season. Andre Kelly scored 20 points in the second half vs. Saint Mary's on Dec. 14.

• Anticevich is the lone Bear to start in every single game this season.

• Four Golden Bears have combined for a total of 12 20-point games this season: Matt Bradley (9 games), Grant Anticevich (1), Andre Kelly (1) and Kareem South (1). Bradley and Kelly's 26 points are team-highs this season.

The Result: Cal earned its first road win with a 66-57 victory in Pullman over Washington State.
• Three Bears scored in double figures: Paris Austin (19), Andre Kelly (16), Matt Bradley (11)
• Austin matched a school record for free throw percentage in league play, matching Larry Friend's record of 12-12 shooting at UCLA in 1956. The Cal single-game record is held by Ray Murry vs. LSU (14-14 on Dec. 22, 1976).
• Joel Brown dished out a career-high 4 assists.
• California's 12-point lead at halftime was its largest at the half all season.
• Cal made all 15 of its first 15 free throws before Grant Anticevich missed two at 3:53. If it stood, Cal's perfect 15-15 mark would have set a new school record, topping a previous team-high of 14-14 at Arizona State on Jan. 28, 2010.
