Hey, so all season long we’ve had people openly speculating about whether or not this particular Cal basketball would be historic. Sadly, any history making wasn’t ever going to be for a positive achievement. But as it turns out, this team has done at least one thing that is unprecedented:
Cal is the first team this century to win its last 3 conference games after going 0-fer to that point.

Which gets at the heart of trying to evaluate this season. Over the last 18 games, Cal men’s basketball first had to play through an 0-15 stretch that led to a tide of derision, then went on an improbable 3 game winning streak that maybe has changed some minds?
