Oregon State wins again on the road

Calvin Haynes scored a career high 25 points to help Oregon State win its second consecutive conference road game, a 72-60 victory over Stanford on Saturday night in Palo Alto.

Josh Tarver added a season-high 18 points and Roeland Schaftenaar also added 18 as the Beavers (8-10, 3-5 Pacific 10 Conference) matched their conference wins of the last two years combined.

Anthony Goods scored 15 points to lead the Cardinal (13-4, 3-4), whose six-game winning streak against the Beavers ended.

The Cardinal played its second straight game without senior point guard Mitch Johnson, who is out with a lower right calf strain. Beavers sophomore guard Lathen Wallace was unable to play after suffering a tail bone injury in Oregon State’s 69-65 victory over Cal on Thursday.

The Beavers, who shot 62% from the field, including 68% in the second half, never trailed in the contest after taking a 16-2 lead six minutes in.

California 76, Oregon 69: Jerome Randle had 22 points and five assists, Jamal Boykin added 13 points and nine rebounds and California kept Oregon winless in Pac-10 play.

Tajuan Porter scored 26 points in Berkeley as the only player in double figures for the downtrodden Ducks (6-14, 0-8), who are the only winless Pac-10 team. The Ducks are off to their worst conference start since losing 11 straight in the 1992-93 conference season.

Cal (16-4, 5-2) had lost two straight since getting back in the top 25 for the first time since 2003 after a 4-0 start in the conference and a nine-game winning streak.

The Golden Bears lost at archrival Stanford last Saturday, then at home to Oregon State on Thursday for their first defeat at Haas Pavilion.

Arizona 96, Houston 90 (OT): Jordan Hill scored 30 points, including a three-point play in overtime, as the Wildcats rallied in Tucson.

Arizona (12-8), motivated after Houston’s Aubrey Coleman was ejected for a flagrant foul after stepping on Chase Budinger’s face following a charge call with 9:51 left, scored eight points in the final 1:30 to force overtime at 88-88.

Hill scored the only basket in overtime when he made a three-point play with 3:55 left for a 91-88 lead. Kyle Fogg sealed the win for Arizona (12-8) by making two free throws with 7.4 seconds left.

Houston (12-5) was 0 for 10 from the field in overtime.
