The Washington State Cougars followed up their biggest win of the season with maybe their worst loss as they traveled to Berkeley and fell to the California Golden Bears, 73-66.
The Cougs (10-6 overall, 1-2 Pac-12) used a 10-0 run to rush out to a 25-11 lead as the Golden Bears (7-8 overall, 1-1 Pac-12) turned the ball over repeatedly. But it didn’t take long for Cal to respond with a run of its own — a 23-3 run in which the Cougars couldn’t make a shot and couldn’t generate any turnovers, and the Golden Bears took a 40-34 lead into halftime.
