The Chaminade Silverswords get a healthy 96-72 win past the Cal Bears to conclude the Maui invitational. The Bears who were swept in three games the first on Monday night by the Wichita State Shockers 92-82 and on Tuesday by the VCU Rams 83-69 and then there was Wednesday night 96-72 and it was a game where nothing was going right in the words of Cal head coach Wyking Jones.

The shots were falling for the Silverswords but the Bears just couldn’t find a way to shut down their offense as they were slow on defense and hit only five shots out of 13 from three pointland and the Bears Justice Sueing was the team leader in offense with 23 points, “”In all the years that I’ve been coaching, I’ve never been so embarrassed in my life from the lack of effort from our guys,” Cal first-year coach Wyking Jones told the AP. ”For me, it’s about going back to the drawing board, myself and my staff, and figuring out what changes we need to make because there definitely needs to be some changes.”
