BERKELEY (AP) – Jordan Pope scored 19 points, Dexter Akanno added 16, and Oregon State defeated California 68-48 on Sunday at Haas Pavilion.
 
Glenn Taylor Jr. chipped in 11 points for Oregon State (8-12, 2-7 Pac-12), which shot 54% both overall and from 3-point distance, making 13 of 24 from beyond the arc. Kuany Kuany scored 15 points for the Golden Bears (3-17, 2-7), who shot 37.5% overall and made just 3 of 15 3-pointers.
 
Cal was within 10 points early in the second half before Akanno hit a 3-pointer and Pope added six points on a three-point play and a 3-pointer to give the Beavers a 19-point lead with 15:58 remaining. The Bears scored the next eight points to get back within 39-28 but missed their next five shots. Meanwhile, the Beavers made five of six in a 13-0 run as Justin Rochelin hit a 3-pointer, Michael Rataj added a 3-pointer and Rochelin connected again from distance to spark the run.
 
Oregon State's lead peaked at 58-30 with 6:25 to go. The Beavers' 13 made 3-pointers were the most Cal has surrendered in a game this season.
 
Despite leading 12-11 with 6:01 to go in the opening half, Cal made only 4 of 23 shots over the first 20 minutes of play and trailed 27-15 at the break.
 
Oregon State's win leaves the Beavers and Bears tied with Stanford for last place in the conference.
