The Golden Bears have a solid defense ranking 57th in the nation in points allowed per game. That D has been more than solid as of late, as in their last 3 games they have given up fewer than their season average every time.
The Cal offense ranks in the middle of the pack in terms of points per game, but they are a balanced group with 5 players that are averaging in double figures led by Jaylen Brown and Tyrone Wallace, who are both averaging more than 15 ppg.
While Cal is 3-1 this season facing top 25 teams they lost their only game facing a ranked team on the road.
Earlier this season at home Cal beat Arizona 74-73.
Arizona Wildcats
Arizona has fallen in the rankings as of late, as they have lost their last 2 games.
The Wildcats have played well for the season on both sides of the court ranking 20th in the nation in scoring and 88th in points allowed. However, their offense has struggled lately and they have scored 75 points and 70 points in their last 2 games, which is less than their season average of 81.1 ppg.
