The 11-2 University of Colorado men’s basketball team held high hopes of disproving their mediocre preseason ranking, in the middle of the Pac-12, at California on Friday night. But thanks to a strong defensive effort from the Golden Bears and a pathetic Colorado offensive performance, those hopes were quickly squandered.
Cal stormed to victory by 14 points, 79-65.
Colorado was never in this contest. They couldn’t muster a basket for the first six minutes of the game and went down by double digits in the meantime.
