It wasn’t how Golden Bears coach Wyking Jones designed it, but with his team winning back-to-back games following a school-record 16-game skid, he certainly wasn’t complaining either.
McNeill scored 17 points to lead four California players in double figures and the Golden Bears beat WSU, 76-69, on Saturday.
