Bears run away in 2nd half to advance in NCAA Tournament

Where you nervous when UNC raced out to a 15-4 lead about halfway through the 1st quarter?

Nervousness would have been a reasonable reaction. But the Bears kept their heads, scoring 88 points over the next 34 minutes of basketball, blitzing an overwhelmed North Carolina defense and turning what looked to be a tight contest into a comfortable win.

The game particularly turned in the 3rd quarter, when Cal flipped a 3 point halftime deficit into a 7 point 4th quarter lead thanks to solid defense, good shooting, and some nice high/low action involving CJ West and Kristine Anigwe.
