The next two games will be tougher than the last two games -- Arizona State and Arizona are good teams with good coaches. Not having Paris Austin against UCLA hurt Cal on the floor, and if they do not have him against Arizona State, it will hurt them even more. In order to beat the Sun Devils, Cal will need to be focused on the defensive end of the floor. Furthermore, the Bears must clean up their transition defense, as UCLA got many easy baskets off pushing the ball down the floor, beating Cal’s players to the other end.
