On the Cal Bears Men’s Basketball Podcast with Morris and Michael:

BERKELEY–Somehow, a sixth consecutive loss for the Cal Bears wasn’t a complete downer. This time, their shots fell, runs were made, and the derisive cheers that had become commonplace throughout Haas Pavilion, ceased. The Bears fought through a 16-point first half deficit, getting within five points of No. 16 Arizona State with six minutes remaining, before falling 81-73.

“I was happy with the guys’ effort tonight on both ends,” coach Wyking Jones said. “I felt like we came out of the gates with a lot of energy defensively. Offensively I thought the guys did a better job sharing the ball, making the extra pass, moving without the ball and just had a much better flow.”
