Riding a three-game winning streak, the Colorado Buffaloes entered Berkeley, California in the hopes of scoring another Pac-12 Conference victory.
The forecast for the Sunday afternoon matchup was cloudy with temperatures in the mid-50s, but the California Golden Bears made it rain from long range, going 11-of-29 from behind the arc. Despite facing a 20-point deficit in the first half, the Buffaloes hung around, coming to within five of Cal with bit more than three minutes remaining.
However, the comeback, and a heroic performance by senior guard Derrick White, who led the Buffs and all scorers with 25 points, was not enough and Colorado’s rally fell short as Cal edged the Buffs in Berkeley, 77-66.
