For Mark Fox’s debut at Haas Pavilion, his Bears took the court with a dynamic first half against the Saint Martin’s Saints. With a number of new faces on the Bears’ roster, Cal fans got a first look at performances by Kareem South and Lars Thiemann who both made starts this evening. Despite some less-than-ideal three-point and free-throw shooting, physical play on defense facilitated Cal’s ownership of the lead for the majority of the half by as much as 15 points. With three minutes left, the Saints (who have been shooting more accurately across the board) lessened the Bears’ lead to 3 where it would settle as time expired on the half.
