Cal (20-11) labored for most of the game offensively and had a hard time containing Oregon State’s Stephen Thompson Jr. The fifth-seeded Bears pulled it out behind Bird and a strong second half by Ivan Rabb, earning a spot in Thursday’s quarterfinals against fourth-seeded Utah. The Bears lost by 30 to the Utes last Thursday in Salt Lake City.



The victory is only Cal’s second in their last seven games, but does give them 20 wins for the season.
