We are about 30 minutes from the opening tip here at Haas Pavilion for tonight's game against rival Stanford. This game is huge for so many reasons. For one, it's Stanford. Enough said. But as we have all heard by now, the Bears can put themselves in position to win the Pac-12 championship if they win and Oregon and UCLA both lose one more time. It's also Senior Night, as Robert Thurman, Brandon Smith and Bak Bak will play their final home match here this evening.

Stay tuned here and throughout the night on Twitter (@CalBearBlog) for updates.
