The temperature struggled to creep above 50 degrees on a crisp, sunny Berkeley afternoon outside of Haas Pavilion. It was the kind of day that makes you want to take the dog for a quick walk to breathe the fresh air, then go back in, curl up on the couch with a warm blanket, and watch Cal basketball. The Cal mens' basketball team entered tonight's game with exactly that mentality. Still in a fog from recently concluded final exams, they were in a mood to curl up and just watch.
The Bears entered the game a prohibitive favorite against a distinctly inferior Cal-Poly squad, and the Bears played down to that level for the first 15 minutes.
