You could argue the California Golden Bears have been consistently inconsistent, but you also could make a point that they’re just not beating the teams that they need to. They’ve done well against the bottom feeders, but they’ve crumbled in the clutch; a problem that will need fixing in the final stretch of the regular season.
In November, the Golden Bears cracked the AP-Top 25 with a number 25 seed rank, however, since then they’ve suffered gut-wrenching losses to Seton Hall, Virginia and Arizona. Each loss was by no more than five points, while UCLA and Oregon have beaten the Bears by double digits since then.
