Washington started off pretty much as poorly as Cal could have hoped, and that meant Cal was down by only 1 points heading into the half.
To put into Washington’s poor start into perspective, here is a text conversation that I had with my sister (a UW student) during halftime):
Me: It won’t happen
Me: But if you lose to us
Me: In basketball
Her: Bruh I’m at the game. UW played the *expletive* half of basketball I’ve ever seen.
Me: It won’t happen
Me: But if you lose to us
Me: In basketball
Spoiler alert: it didn’t happen.
