In one of the best conferences in women’s basketball, if the Bears can keep their opponents under 70 points, there is a fighting chance. If not, the odds no longer lie in their favor. This weekend, two Washington schools got the best of Cal.
Cal women’s basketball split the weekend, losing to Oregon but besting Oregon State. With both games coming down to the wire, the Bears finally came up clutch to earn their second Pac-12 victory of the season.
Despite late-game heroics from senior point guard Leilani McIntosh and Stephen Curry cheering from the sideline, Cameron Brink’s outstanding double-double earned Stanford the nail-biting 60-56 victory.
After a slow start, Cal picked up the pace and took down UCSD and FAMU to finish up non-conference games. With Stanford on the horizon, are the Bears prepared for Pac-12 play?
