Suitably chastised by one of my best friends, I hereby salute the Cal Bears on their outright Pac-10 Conference championship in men’s basketball. Actually, I’m a bit remiss since this was the Bear’s first solo championship in 50 years. That’s a pretty Big F* Deal! Not to mention they swept Stanford to clinch. Hope this is a sign we’ll get that Rose Bowl trip in my lifetime.
The Bears are off to a good postseason start, smacking around the Oregon Ducks in an easy 90-74 victory to start off their Pac-10 Tourney. Given how they closed out the regular season with convincing wins, under a little pressure, maybe they’re gearing up for a deep run in the NCAA tourney.
Still weird though to think that Mike Montgomery is the head coach.
On other fronts, the Georgetown Hoyas took out Syracuse in the quarterfinals of the Big East tourney. That’ll be a nice one to stoke the rivalry. With Greivis Vasquez and the surprising Maryland Terrapins getting in on the action tomorrow, this could be a pretty good rootin’ week in these here parts. And to think, last year the Hoyas fell off a cliff to end the season, and there were rumblings that the game had passed Gary Williams by.
