First half dooms Bears in 73-66 NIT loss to CSUB

I have a confession to make: I caught myself trying to turn off the television 11 minutes into the Bears’ Tuesday night matchup with 23-9 Cal State Bakersfield. I immediately thought better of it, because let’s face it: the sooner I wrote this thing, the sooner I could get to bed. And I like to sleep! Still, I considered that emotional reaction an indication that I’m not dead inside even though I’ve traded in my foam finger for a keyboard. The fact is that shorthanded Cal ended its season with a whimper, so let’s get to the nuts and bolts of the 73-66 loss at Haas Pavilion.
