Previewing Cal MBB vs. Detroit Mercy

On paper, Thursday night’s home matchup with the Detroit Mercy Titans might be the easiest non-exhibition on the schedule for the California Golden Bears men’s basketball team. For Cal, it’s the second game of the Legends Classic. The next will take place against St. John’s at Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Monday. First-year head coach Mike Davis spent six seasons at Texas Southern and inherited a Detroit team with just three returning players. Former coach Bacari Alexander was dismissed after going 8-24 last season. After a November 3 exhibition win over Wayne State, the Titans have gone on the road to begin the season 0-3.
