Arizona State

The Trojans won both the regular season and the tournament for the first time since 2019.

The Pac-12 tournament will begin Wednesday, with the Bears kicking off play against the Arizona State Sun Devils.

For the first time since 2020, the Bears won back-to-back games against the Aggies and Ducks. However, the Buffs did not let them celebrate for long and beat the Bears 19-9.

Cal baseball headed east to Salt Lake City to win a three-game weekend series against the Utah Utes.

Cal baseball continued to struggle against conference opponents this weekend, getting swept by eighth-seeded rival Stanford.

Problems continued to pester Cal this past weekend as the blue and gold fell to 3-9 in Pac-12 standings after a tough series against Arizona State.

With three days of back-to-back games, the Bears defeated both Arizona State and Arizona this weekend before falling short to Loyola Marymount.

Cal is 3-22 and has lost its last nine games. But the Bears will play it out — starting with two games in the City of Angels. The Bears will face USC on Thursday and then sit in LA traffic to get to Westwood for a faceoff with UCLA on Saturday.

The Bears played with close to their ideal lineup, considering the players available for the rest of the season, and actually put together extended spells of good basketball — two factors that have rarely coincided this season. It just wasn’t enough.

Having suffered a sizable defeat against No. 1 ranked Arizona State last week, the blue and gold look to get back on track in the win column against the Trojans.
