With the cutoff of Feb. 9 fast approaching, the Daily Californian Sports staff offers its opinions on the NBA trade deadline.

Bears, wake up — it’s time to watch another Cal basketball loss!

With a chance to sweep the Cardinal for the first time since 2010 and collect the first Cal win in Palo Alto under head coach Mark Fox, the Bears simply could not rise to the challenge.

The only time since the turn of the century that Cal swept Stanford in basketball was the 2010 season. The Bears will look to break out the brooms once more in Palo Alto on Friday. Here’s to making history.

Although the blue and gold fell to Utah in an ugly performance, they were able to bounce back in a historic way over Colorado to ring in the new year right and pick up their second victory of the season.

What started as a promising defensive showing ultimately ended with a second half meltdown. Cal’s mere 28% from the field made it nearly impossible for a victory.

The final two days of the Emerald Coast Classic in Niceville, Florida were anything but nice to the Bears.

A Kansas State three-pointer followed by a technical on coach Fox at the 12-minute mark seemed to be the blue and gold’s breaking point.

Teeing off early Monday morning, the blue and gold wasted no time making their presence felt. The Bears played a round that the program hadn't seen in 14 years: a 9-under team round.

The Pac-12 Preview in Hawaii is the perfect opportunity for Cal to make a splash in the conference.
