Matt Bradley drew a charge on Tres Tinkle with 7.2 seconds remaining in the game, wiping out a potential go-ahead basket and allowing host California to hold on for a 69-67 Pacific-12 Conference victory over Oregon State on Saturday afternoon in Berkeley, Calif.

Bradley, who also added Cal's final point on a free throw with 3.9 seconds left, finished with a game-high 23 points for the Golden Bears (10-11, 4-4 Pac-12), who ran their home record to 4-1 in conference play.

Tinkle paced the Beavers (13-9, 3-7) with 19 points.

In a second half that saw nine ties and nine lead changes, Cal trailed 64-61 after a Kylor Kelley layup with 4:23 to go before scoring the game's next seven points.

A missed free throw by Bradley then gave the Beavers a change to take the lead, but he stepped in front of a driving Tinkle, drawing contact just as the Oregon State standout released his shot in the lane.
