The California Golden Bears begin the 2024-2025 men's college basketball season at home against Cal State Bakersfield and will debut 15 student-athletes, including 11 scholarship players.

Last season, the Golden Bears beat the Roadrunners 83-63 at home, but the series is not as one-sided as the Nov. 2023 result might indicate. In five previous meetings, Cal State Bakersfield has won two games, including a 73-66 triumph over Cal in the first round of the 2017 National Invitation Tournament.

California head coach Mark Madsen, who starts his second season at the helm of the Golden Bears tonight, is 2-1 against Cal State Bakersfield head coach Rod Barnes. In addition to Coach Madsen's win last season, the two coaches previously met when the head coach was at Utah Valley in the Western Athletic Conference.
