PULLMAN, Wash. – California’s Sean Lampley scored 27 points and grabbed 12 rebounds Thursday night to lead the Golden Bears to a 75-71 overtime victory over Washington State. 

After overcoming a late, six-point Washington State lead, Shantay Legans’ layup with 1:04 left in the game gave California a 63-62 advantage. Legans then extended the lead to three points with a pair of free throws on California’s next possession. 

But Washington State’s Mike Bush answered with a 3-pointer with 23 seconds left to send the game into overtime. 

In the extra period, Lampley and Legans scored six points each to down the Cougars on their home court for the first time this season. 

Bush scored 22 points and freshman Marcus Moore added 17 to pace Washington State (7-9, 1-6 Pac 10). 

California (13-5, 4-2) has won 12 of its last 14 games.
