Rabb helps California strengthen standing in Pac-12

(AP) — Ivan Rabb still hasn't decided whether or not to declare for the NBA draft or return to California for a third season. Just the same, the 20-year-old sophomore was in no hurry to leave the court while savoring the atmosphere and the cheers at Haas Pavilion. Rabb scored 16 points with nine rebounds, Charlie Moore added 11 points while Sam Singer scored 14 on 7-of-7 shooting as the Golden Bears (19-9, 10-6 Pac-12) snapped a three-game losing streak and strengthened their hold on fourth place. The Bears got off to a slow start but used a 20-3 run to pull away in the first half then rode a 16-5 run early in the second half to go up 55-35 on a night when California honored its five seniors in their final regular-season home game at Haas Pavilion. The 6-foot-11-inch, 220-pound sophomore is being looked at as a potential first-round pick in next year's NBA draft. Coach Wayne Tinkle, who remains one win shy of 200 for his career, tried multiple combinations but it didn't seem to matter on a night when Oregon State made only 17 baskets. At this stage of the season, style points matter a bit more than they do earlier in the year but this was a game Cal had to have to keep its NCAA hopes alive.
