Cal basketball

Cal proved to the world that this team is different, and looking forward, fans should be prepared to watch a team enter the foray of elite college basketball programs.

Cal men's basketball's freshman center Connor Vanover will be out against Fresno State after suffering a broken nose and concussion against Cal Poly. The freshman remains in concussion protocol.

In a game that featured 20 lead changes and 30 ties and saw both teams exchange blows like perennial heavyweights, it would be the Bears holding their hands high when the clock finally ticked down to zero with the team defeating San Diego State, 89-83.

Through seven games, the Bears currently sit at 2-5 and are on pace to once again finish nonconference play with a losing record.

Cal men’s basketball sophomore Juhwan Harris-Dyson has been ruled out for the remainder of tonight’s game against San Francisco and will be evaluated tomorrow.

The criminal justice sector is no exception — these are just three of the numerous people within Cal athletics whose impact away from the playing field shines just as bright, if not brighter, than their contributions on it.

Should Lee suit up for Miami, he’ll join Ryan Anderson, Allen Crabbe, Tyrone Wallace, Jaylen Brown, Ivan Rabb and Jabari Bird as Cal alumni in the NBA.

Wherever Braun has taken his clipboard and whistle, from the Michigan to the heart of the Bay Area, he has curated excellence. Building something from nothing, Braun has birthed gems from rubble.
