No. 1: Cal (16-5, 6-2) Cal couldn’t sweep its Washington road trip, but considering how thin the Bears are, that’s not much of a surprise.

No. 1: Cal (15-4, 5-1) The Harper Kamp offensive renaissance bodes well for a balanced Cal offense. The senior forward scored 14 points in the Bears’ two wins this past week, keeping the offense afloat in Thursday’s hard-fought win over Colorado. Allen Crabbe will need to snap out of his
