Where/when: Haas Pavilion, Berkeley, California; Thursday, 8 p.m. (FS1)

Bottom line: No. 25 Washington looks to give Cal its seventh straight loss to ranked opponents. Cal’s last win against a ranked opponent (83-63) came against the No. 11 Oregon Ducks on Feb. 11, 2016. Washington has moved up to No. 25 in the latest AP rankings following wins over Utah and Colorado last week.

Squad leadership: Cal’s Justice Sueing has averaged 14.9 points and 5.9 rebounds. For UW, Jaylen Nowell has averaged 16.1 points and 5.4 rebounds, Noah Dickerson 12.7 points and 6.6 rebounds.

Jumping for Jaylen: Nowell has connected on 42.5 percent of the 87 3-pointers he’s attempted and has made 5 of 16 over his last five games. He’s also made 75.3 percent of his foul shots this season.

Undefeated when: Washington is 17-0 when it holds an opponent to 67 points or fewer.
