Shootaround

The Bears will need to have more ball control than they did against UCLA if they hope to stand a chance against a team that is more talented on paper.

After an abbreviated and disappointing 2020 season, the Bears appear to have a chip on their shoulders.

With dates announced for eight Cal basketball games to open the season, our 2020 men’s basketball beat writers take a look at what to expect.

The Daily Cal's football beat writers answer questions and take a close look at the two famous rivals ahead of the 122nd Big Game.

Garbers’ legs have played a key role in Cal’s spurts of success offensively, and I wouldn’t be shocked if he posted at least 250 yards combined through the air and on the ground.

Let’s be honest — playing it safe in any facet of life isn’t fun. The same goes for Wilcox’s play-calling. I personally love the bold and aggressive calls — the only problem is that I don’t think he’s got a disciplined-enough team to pull off some of the calls. That being said, they’ve got the potential to get there.

The Bears coming off a week of rest while Oregon comes off an emotionally draining overtime loss to Stanford could absolutely make the difference in this game.

"After spending upward of 40 up-close-and-personal hours at Cal’s practices, part of me believes this team can easily go 9-3. Let me step back, however."
