The Cal Bears guard Devin Askew (55) gets the offense plan going against the UC San Diego Tritons guard Tyler McGhie (13) at Haas Pavilion in Berkeley on Tue Dec 20, 2023 (Cal Bears photo)
On the Cal Bears podcast with Stephen Ruderman:
#1 First half Cal at one point had a 34-8 lead and you had to wonder how much will Cal crush the UCSD Tritons but it all started to collapse in the second half.
#2 In the second half the Tritons gained confidence and had a 14-0 run on the Bears and the Tritons looked as if they had broken through.
#3 The Tritons took advantage of Cal’s turnovers and couldn’t string any scoring when UCSD took a brief lead.
#4 In the last ten minutes of the game a nail biter Cal was hoping to slow down the UCSD. Cal was looking to try and slow the Tritons offense down and get back in the ball game. It was a game that went down to the last 20 seconds. Cal just got by the Tritons 71-67.
#5 Cal has the tough task to face #4 Arizona in they’re next game on Fri Dec 29th at Haas Pavilion. The Wildcats have won eight of their last nine games. Cal could have they’re hands full.
