BERKELEY, Calif. -- The University of Oregon men's basketball team (10-10, 3-5) will face California (11-9, 4-4) this Saturday at Haas Pavilion in Berkeley, Calif. The Ducks have won three of their last four contests, including Thursday's 67-59 road win over Stanford. That victory was UO's first at Maples Pavilion since the 1985-86 season, snapping a 24-game road losing streak to the Cardinal.
The Ducks enter the weekend having lost the last five games to Cal, with the last Oregon win coming on Feb. 9, 2008 in a 92-70 road win over the Golden Bears. The Ducks' last road win over Cal was in 2007-08, the lone victory in their last 10 contests played at Haas Pavilion. Oregon lost a pair of overtime games in that stretch, an 85-81 overtime loss on Feb. 26, 2004, and a 107-103 double-overtime loss on Feb. 9, 2002.

DUCKS SNAP ROAD LOSING STREAK AT STANFORD
Four Ducks scored in double figures led by senior forward Joevan Catron's team-high 15 points in a 67-59 road win over Stanford on Thursday night. Oregon's last road win over the Cardinal was back on Jan. 13, 1986, an 83-69 result.
Senior guard Jay-R Strowbridge (13 points), Malcolm Armstead and Garrett Sim (10 points) joined Catron in double-figures. The Ducks shot a season-best from behind the 3-point arc at 52.9 percent (9-of-17).
The Stanford-California road trip has been a difficult one for the Ducks, with their last sweep of the Bay Area schools coming during the 1975-76 season. That team was led by head coach Dick Harter and featured the likes of Ron Lee and Greg Ballard. In that road sweep, the Ducks posted a 75-64 win over Cal (Feb. 13) and an 84-62 win at Stanford (Feb. 14).
UPCOMING GAMES FOR THE DUCKS
Following this week's road trip, UO will play five of its next seven contests at Matthew Knight Arena in Eugene. The Ducks will host Washington State (Feb. 3) and Washington (Feb. 5), before returning to the road for games at UCLA (Feb. 10) and USC (Feb. 12). UO then hosts three straight against Oregon State (Feb. 19), Cal (Feb. 24) and Stanford (Feb. 26).
OREGON'S PAC-10 STATISTICAL RANKINGS
UO compares favorably with their Pac-10 foes in several statistical categories, ranking second in free throw shooting (.731, 266-of-364), steals (8.3 spg, 166), offensive rebounds (12.1, 243) and turnover margin (+3.4, 259-327) while ranking fifth in blocks (3.1, 61).
Senior forward Joevan Catron ranks sixth in scoring (15.4 ppg, 277) and offensive rebounds (2.7 orpg, 50). Sophomore forward E.J. Singler is fourth in free throw percentage (.819, 59-of-72) and tied for ninth in blocks (0.9 bpg, 19). Junior guard Malcolm Armstead is third in steals (1.9 spg, 37) and seventh in assists (3.5 apg, 66). Junior guard Teondre Williams has the third-best 3-point field goal percentage (.436, 17-of-39), but does not have enough attempts to qualify for the rankings.
OFFSEASON ADDITIONS PROVIDING A SPARK FOR UO
Senior guard Jay-R Strowbridge, junior forward Tyrone Nared and freshman guard Johnathan Loyd have made an impact on the 2010-11 Oregon lineup.
Strowbridge has played in all 20 games, a starter in seven contests. He is UO's third leading scorer (8.4 ppg), shooting 75.8 percent on free throws (25-of-33). He is coming off back-to-back double figure scoring efforts, recording 13 points at Stanford and 15 points at Oregon State.
Nared has also played in all 20 contests, averaging 4.7 points and 3.5 rebounds per game on the year. He ranks second on the team in blocked shots (13, 0.7 bpg), and is fourth on the squad in rebounding average. Nared has started the last two games for the Ducks.
Loyd has played in all 20 games, starting the last eight contests. He has 48 assists (to just 26 turnovers), leading the team in assist-to-turnover ratio (1.9). Loyd's 21 steals (1.1 spg) ranks third on the team. He's also shooting 73.1 percent on free throws (19-of-26).
CATRON AVERAGING CAREER BESTS
Senior forward Joevan Catron (bio on page 28) has now played in 114 career games averaging career-bests for points (15.4 ppg) and field goal shooting percentage (.520, 92-177). He leads the team in scoring, rebounding average (6.3 rpg) shooting percentage, field goals attempted and field goals made, while ranking second in minutes played (26.3 mpg). Catron has scored in double figures in 16 of the 18 games which he's played in. Five of his six career 20-point games have occurred this season. He's led UO in scoring 14 times in his career, 11 of those have come in 2010-11.
SINGLER STEPS INTO KEY ROLE
Sophomore forward E.J. Singler (bio on page 26) leads the team blocks (0.9 bpg, 19), while ranking second on the team in scoring (11.5 ppg, 230), rebounding average (5.9 rpg, 118), field goal percentage (.462, 73-of-158) and 3-point field goal percentage (.397, 25-of-63). Singler has reached double figures in scoring 14 times in 20 games. In the near upset of No. 9 Missouri, Singler tallied a career-best 19 points to go with nine rebounds. On Dec. 11, Singler posted an 18-point, 17-rebound (career high) effort in the win over Willamette.
UO TRIUMPHS AT OSU FOR FIRST TIME SINCE 2007-08
Sophomore forward E.J. Singler had 16 points and senior guard Jay-R Strowbridge added 15 points (13 coming in the second half) in UO's 63-59 road win over Oregon State last Saturday. The last time UO won in Corvallis was back on March 2, 2008. Senior forward Joevan Catron is the only current Duck who was on that team. Singler led UO in scoring for the fifth time this season (third time in conference action). Junior guard Garrett Sim matched a season-high with 15 points, reaching double figures in scoring for the third time in the last five games.
