When you get overall team defense it will get you through a lot of rough spots whether it’s inter conference games home or away. Matter of fact the Cal Bears are leading the Pac 12 in defense. An interesting stat that I wasn’t aware of and they keep stats for everything these days.

The Cal Bears lead the Pac 12 in field goal percentage defense, which is related to overall defense in particular defending two or three point shots. The Bears are allowing their opponents to go 37 percent from the floor. Now that’s pretty outstanding work by the defensive end.

It doesn’t matter what conference your in, or what league your in that’s pretty good stats. That’s going to serve Cal well throughout the whole conference schedule and they had a game against the Colorado Buffaloes. Certainly when they play the Utah Running Utes that’s something that Utah has to be weary of.
