Lars Thiemann

While the Bears have been off the court during his first few months in charge, Madsen oversaw massive squad turnover. With eight outgoing and five incoming transfers, Cal will look like a completely different team next season.

Following Joel Brown and Kuany Kuany’s transfer announcements, senior Lars Thiemann and sophomore Sam Alajiki are entering the transfer portal as well.

In a game that was truly reflective of their year, the Bears just did not have it in them to compete with Washington State. The Bears finished the season with an all-time low 3-29 record, going 2-18 in Pac-12 play and ending the year on a 16-game losing streak.

It feels like just yesterday that UC Davis was in town to open the season in Haas Pavilion, but this past weekend ushered in the final two home games of the season.

Cal will look to end its season at Haas Pavilion strong and give a positive send-off to the seniors this weekend.

Rock bottom nowhere in sight, where do the Bears go from here? The answer is simple: down.

Bears, wake up — it’s time to watch another Cal basketball loss!

The Bears dropped two home games this week. The first was a 58-87 walloping by Oregon. Not to be outdone by its neighbors, Oregon State handed the blue and gold a 48-68 defeat three days later.

The Supreme Court of the United States, the British Monarchy and Cal basketball’s losing streak: It was actually the last of the three — not the institutions that are designed as bastions of stability in a fickle, volatile society — that remained constant over the last nine-and-a-half months.

The Bears continue their nightmare season slide, falling to 0-11, in an 82-58 blowout loss to the Bulldogs.
