PULLMAN, Wash. -- Ryan Anderson scored 27 points and California hung on to hand No. 9 Washington State its first home loss of the season, 69-64 on Thursday night.

Cougars star Derrick Low shot a pair of 3-point attempts in the closing the seconds that could have tied the score, the second rimming out with a second left, for Washington State (17-3, 5-3 Pac-10).

It was a fitting end for the Cougars. They finished 5-for-20 from 3-point range. Cal was 9-for-20.

Patrick Christopher added 16 points for Cal (12-7, 3-5), which broke a three-game losing streak.

Ryan Anderson, the Pac-10's leading scorer at 21.3 points per game, was 9-for-13 from the field, including 5-for-7 on 3-pointers. He added nine rebounds.

Cal center Devon Hardin, who was averaging 10 points and 8.2 rebounds, did not make the trip to Pullman because he was ill. Jamal Boykin, a recent transfer from Duke, started in his place and scored 12.

Kyle Weaver scored 15 for Washington State, which had not lost at Friel Court since March 1, 2007. Taylor Rochestie added 14. Low, WSU's leading scorer at 14 ppg, was only two for 11 from the field and missed all nine of his 3-point attempts. He finished with five points.

The game was played in Pullman even though the area was paralyzed by a storm that dumped a foot of snow, forcing classes to be cancelled the rest of the week and the governor to declare a state of emergency.
