BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) -- Jason Kidd scored 25 points and had five
assists to push his season assist total to a Pac-10 record 249 as
No. 20 California held off Oregon 82-73 Thursday night.
	Lamond Murray had 26 points to help Cal (20-6, 11-4 Pac-10)
reach 20 wins for the 12th time in school history.
	Oregon (9-15, 5-10) lost for the fifth straight time to Cal,
which handed the Ducks their worst beating of the season, 81-61, in
the last meeting Feb. 5.
	Kidd's assist total topped the previous conference mark of 247,
set by Arizona's Russell Brown in 1978-79. He got the
record-breaker on a feed to Murray with 4:06 remaining in the first
half.
	Down by 15 at halftime, the Ducks began to close the gap with
Orlando Williams hitting four 3-pointers and Jordy Lyden adding two
more during a 20-9 run to open the second half.
	Four straight free throws by Williams, whose 22 points led the
Ducks, brought Oregon within 58-56 with 8:22 left.
	But Anwar McQueen hit a 3-pointer to start a 13-5 burst that
gave Cal a 71-61 lead. A fastbreak layup by Murray capped the run
and gave the Bears a 10-point lead with 5:10 left.
	Oregon got no closer than four points the rest of the way.
	Kidd scored 16 points in the first half as Cal took a 41-26
lead.
