The California Golden Bears and St Mary’s Gaels are the two top programs in the East Bay basketball scene. They will duel each other on the basketball court three times in three years.
Cal will play St. Mary’s in December of 2017 at Haas Pavilion. They will then play each other again during the 2018-19 season in Moraga at McKeon Pavilion, before returning to Berkeley in 2020.
Cal will thus get to play four games in five years against their top rivals, with three of those matchups at home. Cal played St. Mary’s during the 2015-16 season, with the Bears edging out the Gaels 63-59.
