Stanford (15-3, 4-1 Pac-12) brings a close to its three-game Pac-12 road trip on Sunday, Jan. 26 when it travels to Bay Area rival California (8-10, 2-3 Pac-12). The tip-off will be broadcast on ESPNU.
THE OPENING TIP

• Stanford held 12 of its 13 non-conference opponents below 70 points and limited its first five Pac-12 foes to an average of 62.0 points per game. The program boasts the best overall scoring defense in the Pac-12 (59.7), and the 10th-best nationally.
• Freshmen Tyrell Terry and Spencer Jones have seen blazing starts from beyond the arc in Pac-12 play, with each making 16 and combining for 49.2 percent from deep. Jones leads the league with a 46.4 percent mark across 18 total games, which is fifth-best nationally.
• Stanford picked up a 68-52 win over Cal at Maples Pavilion on Jan. 2, and is looking to sweep the Golden Bears for the first time since 2015, when it earned a pair of double-digit victories.
