The move was announced by Cal Athletic Director Jim Knolwton on Thursday, just one day after the Bears crashed out of the Pac-12 tournament in a 69-52 loss to Washington State.

With just two more games left in this nightmare season, the Bears hope to finish strong, aiming for a 5-26 record on the season.

Rock bottom nowhere in sight, where do the Bears go from here? The answer is simple: down.

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

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.

The game remained relatively close until the midway point of the second half, when Cal’s perimeter savviness just proved to be too much for the visiting team to handle.

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.

The Supreme Court of the United States, the British Monarchy and Cal basketball’s losing streak: It was actually the last of the three — not the institutions that are designed as bastions of stability in a fickle, volatile society — that remained constant over the last nine-and-a-half months.

Now that the Cardinals have defected from the exclusive club of winless Division I teams, it’s not a club anymore — it’s just Cal.

The Bears continue their nightmare season slide, falling to 0-11, in an 82-58 blowout loss to the Bulldogs.
