CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) — Jordan Shepherd scored 15 points, including the final four, and California snapped a 10-game losing streak with a 63-61 victory over Oregon State. Oregon State didn’t have a basket after Dexter Akanno’s 3-pointer with 5:16 remaining knotted the score at 55. The Beavers hit six straight free throws to grab a 61-59 lead with 1:54 to play. Shepherd hit a jumper at the 1:39 mark to pull the Golden Bears (10-15, 3-11 Pac-12 Conference) even and then scored on a goaltending call with 18 seconds left to cap the scoring. Jarod Lucas missed a 3-pointer with 2 seconds left and Maurice Calloo missed a putback for the Beavers (3-18, 1-10), who have lost eight straight. Calloo led OSU with 18 points.
