It’s customary to post a box score here, but you really don’t wanna see it. Here’s what happened.

We knew this was an overwhelmingly likely outcome. In women’s basketball, #1 seeds don’t lose on their home court during the opening weekend. It hasn’t happened in a decade. The California Golden Bears were a prohibitive underdog against the Baylor Bears on Monday, and the odds won. Our women’s basketball season is over.
For a quarter, Cal hung in the game. By packing the paint, they discombobulated the Baylor offense, and early aggression from the frontcourt and Kianna Smith provided just enough offense.
