We know the decade ended a year ago, but who wants to remember 2020 anyway? Let’s talk the greatest Cal men’s and women’s basketball games of the 2010s!
We went through our Cal football game nomination process last week, now let’s stroll through Cal hoops!
We want to hear from you! What are the basketball games that enter your mind as the best of the decade for our Golden Bears?
Nominate one great Cal basketball game (men’s or women’s) you care the most about in one comment, and explain why you nominated that game. Later this offseason, we’ll release our top 10 list and include your submissions in our posts!
My early candidate is this thumping rebuke of the Landry Fields reign of terror. Long live the Max Zhang era.
We should note that if you nominate one basketball game from the Wyking Jones era, you will not be allowed to comment on this site ever again.
I mean this isn't like any game of the decade type of stuff but I thoroughly enjoyed our 12 vs 5 "upset" of UNLV in March Madness since we lost on a buzzer beater against them earlier in the season (was present as an unknowing 10 year old at the time) and almost beat Syracuse but lose because of damn CJ Fair. I also saw no wyking games were allowed but lets not deny the 17 point comeback against Stanford in the final 3:30 in 2017, it was amazing for us and allowed us to brag and laugh at furd(at least until it all fell apart).
The Justin Cobbs win over Arizona when the Cats were ranked No. 1. I saw him the day after the game walking down Bancroft with Alan Crabbe and I shouted "Hey Justin! Great game!
He shouted back "Thanks, man!"
