The California Bears lost Sunday night on the road 70-57 to the Colorado Buffaloes, losing an opportunity to gain the lead in the Pac-12 Conference. The Bears fell a half-game behind the Washington Huskies for the conference lead, and Cal has but one Pac-12 game left, next Sunday night at Stanford.
The Huskies head to Los Angeles, where they essentially have a bye against USC on Thursday before facing the UCLA Bruins on Saturday in what will be an opportunity for Washington to clinch the top seed in the upcoming Pac-12 Conference Basketball Tournament.
