Duke plays Cal in the 2K Empire Classic Benefiting Wounded Warrior Project on Thursday and it’s very hard to know what to expect. Last year the Bears were just 8-23 in a very weak PAC-12.
Mark Fox was brought in to clean things up and two of the three leading scorers transferred.
Good news: despite all of that, Cal is 4-0.
Bad news: Cal nearly lost to Prairie View, normally one of the worst teams in college basketball (however they won the SWAC last season).
Cal had 22 turnovers in that game.
Matt Bradley is the most productive player so far with 20 ppg.
