Even though the seats are empty in this picture of Haas Pavilion, they certainly won't be this weekend. Cal hosts USC (13-12, 6-7 Pac-10) on Thursday night at 7:30 p.m. and second place UCLA (18-7, 9-3 Pac-10) at 7:00 p.m. on Sunday evening.

Last month, the Bears beat the Trojans by a bucket but fell to the Bruins 86-84 in Los Angeles. With both squads visiting Berkeley this time around, Cal is on the prowl to beat itsrivals from the south.

Tickets are still available for these two games as well as the season finale against Stanford on March 5 - grab them while they're still available. And for all of those living outside of the Bay Area, fear not  - the Bear Blog will be on hand to bring you an inside look into all of the action.
