It wasn’t the ideal way that former Stanford head coach Jerod Haase wanted making his Stanford debut at Cal against the former team he played for in his freshman year. Haase saw his Cardinal take a 66-55 loss and tried to use a North Carolina type offense but the shots just weren’t falling for the Cardinal. Thus Stanford took their second straight loss and in interviewing Haase he was tight lipped throughout the post game conference.
Meanwhile the Cal Bears enjoyed another win at Haas Pavilion and got offensive help from Cal stars Jabari Bird with 17 points on the night and Ivan Rabb finished up on top of all scorers with 25 points. On the schedule for the Bears Utah and Colorado come in this Friday and Sunday and on February 8th and 11th it’s Arizona State University and Arizona.]
