Cal Men's Basketball: Bears Fall to Pacific 87-79: Insta-Recap and Reactions
That was not ideal.
Welp that wasn't great.
If you get outscored 39-18 from three, it's hard to win.
If your bench gets outscored 35-0 to start the season, that is also not ideal.
At least Jaylon Tyson looks great! But Tyson getting hurt was the catalyst for Pacific to pull away. Prayers up.
Discuss the game. Go Bears.
My take on Pacific is Cal basketball won three games last year, and no matter how many instrumental changes we made this offseason, it was going to be impossible to rebuild this team from scratch and be ready to gangbust. Injuries do not help. Lots of hard-fought games ahead.
Tyson is a phenomenal player. He’s got a bit of Magic Johnson in him the way he controls the game and whips passes to marginally open teammates…..who have now learned their hands need to be ready to catch those amazing passes. He will be All PAC 12. Cal would have won but for his cramping up.
The pressure on this squad and staff is huge. So many chips on the table. Patience and progress.
