Bears Look To Bounce Back As Rivals Clash Again Sunday

Story Links

BERKELEY – California aims to avenge Thursday's loss to Stanford when the rivals meet for the second time in four days on Sunday, Feb. 7 at Maples Pavilion in Stanford. The game tips off at 7 p.m. PT and will be televised on FS1 with Jim Kozimor and Dan Belluomini on the call.
 
The Golden Bears (7-13, 2-11 Pac-12) came up short, 70-55, against the Cardinal (11-7, 7-5 Pac-12) on Thursday in Berkeley.
 
Sunday's contest was originally scheduled for March 6/7, but was moved to free up the final week of the regular season to allow for previously postponed games to be played at that time. It will be just the second game that Stanford will have played in Maples Pavilion this season. The Cardinal previously played home games in Santa Cruz, Calif., due to COVID-19 restrictions in Santa Clara County.
