range. mcilroy up 2 heading into tomorrow's final round. ucla did the cal bears a big favor today and now it's up to cal to cash in on the opportunity. the bears will close out the pac-12 regular season tomorrow at stanford. a win there and cal will finish tied for the conference championship with washington. cal wins the tie-breaker between the two team because of beating the huskies in this one head-to-head meeting this season. the bears pulled away from stanford earlier this year at home and won 69-59 and a win would give cal the no. 1 seed in the conference tournament. the bears have other tournament aspirations and don't need to drum up any false emotions. >> if i need to put things out there to motivate them, then we're kind of in the wrong business. we have a game against our rivals, so to speak, and if you want to go back and say if we win this one, it's the most wins that the pac 8, 10, 12, that the schools ever have. there is just a lot of stuff.
