WBB Journal: Fleshing Out the Narrative

Narratives. The story defines the journey, and shapes the way we view our sports teams.

A year ago, the Cal Women’s Basketball Team was 3-5 in conference, after going undefeated in the non-conference season. Their wins had been against Colorado and Arizona, two teams that would finish tied for last place. They had lost to Utah, another team that would finish in the last place Pac-12 logjam. They had lost two nail biters, one in double overtime to Arizona State, and another in a collapse versus Oregon that was one of the most soul crushing defeats in program history.
