On the 10th of March, after 32 excruciating games in which the California Golden Bears Men's Basketball Team was pretty good, but not quite good enough, there was still a chance. After playing too close with the worst team in the conference, after almost blowing a double digit lead and giving away one of the best performances of the year, after two days in Vegas...on the third night, there was still a chance. Despite a season in which the Bears could never quite get over the hump in big games--despite losing 5 of the last 6 games in the regular season--on Friday night, there it was:
The Oregon Ducks.
