Millions of people stand by their teams; millions of people scream at their TVs during close games; millions wear their fan gear with pride after victories; millions stand with you as you watch this one beautiful game unfold.

After his dominant run last postseason, I’ve learned never to count LeBron out. But, after watching him struggle to play against some of the league’s worst, I don’t know if this is the same LeBron we’ve seen in years past.

Cal will be taking on Washington this Sunday afternoon in Haas Pavilion, and all eyes are on the Bears to see if they can turn their season around.

Unfortunately for Anigwe, her milestone came during an intense game that ended in Cal’s loss to the Wildcats. Arizona stands as one of the best defensive teams in the Pac-12, and they didn’t hesitate to show it during this conference battle.

The Bears stopped their skid with a close win against USC, but if they let their guard down, the Wildcats may end a new win streak before it even begins.

Usually a team defined by its strong second-half performances, Cal was at a loss, floundering as the Gaels started the third with a 13-0 run.

Cal has had a historic start to the season thus far, dominating its opponents as the quarter-season mark approaches. But with Thomas’ injury, the Bears are going to have to tighten up if they want to keep their streak burning.

Behind two veteran leaders, some improving returners and a talented newcomer, Cal basketball is in position to have one of its best seasons yet.

What made Cal’s offense truly formidable, however, was its whopping plus-19 advantage in free throw attempts. In a game in which Cal won by 18 points, this advantage at the line was invaluable for the Bears.

This weekend, Cal women’s basketball will be heading to Penn State to face off against the Lady Lions for its first away game of the season.
