Update: With UCLA and California locked in a three-way tie for second place in the Pacific 10 Conference, the 17th-ranked Bruins face a crucial midseason test. Coach Ben Howland might use more of the bench with his team faltering late in games and some starters talking about fatigue. The Golden Bears are led by guards Jerome Randle and Patrick Christopher, averaging 19 and 15.6 points. Cal is the most accurate three-point shooting team in the conference (46.9%).
