<p>The most crucial matchup for Bay Area college basketball fans will be taking place this evening at 6 PM PT when the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/california-golden-bears">California Golden Bears</a> get their rematch with the hated <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/stanford-cardinal">Stanford Cardinal</a>. Cal was very close to winning a Pac-12 championship, but they came out playing frantically against Stanford on Sunday and came up short in that crucial contest.</p>
<p>Cal now moves from trying to win the Pac-12 to entering must-win territory. The Bears are not certain of their tournament status right now, and a third straight loss would cause all sorts of problems. Cal will have to try and contain a Stanford squad that played pretty solid basketball to overwhelm the Bears this past Sunday, and you can expect a similar performance needed to win on Thursday.</p>
<p>Cal or Stanford will face the Colorado or Oregon winner.</p>
<p>Here's the bracket information, tip-off times and TV schedules below. All times are Pacific.</p>
