While You Were Away . . .

. . . your Cal Bears basketball team has been blowing up. Patrick Christopher took one of five Player-of-the-Week honors this last week and Cal took Team-of-the-Week honors.

If you missed the epic finish to the Cal-Washington game last night, here's a quick overview: Cal led the game in regulation only once at 1 - 0 in the beginning of the game. However, they managed to fight back, forcing not one, not two, but three overtimes. As if that weren't exciting enough, with 30 some-odd seconds to go in the second overtime, Cal was down 5 points and still managed to force a third overtime and eventually defeat Washington in the third OT. It was a great day to be a Cal Bear.

Anyway, I know we've all got class starting tomorrow, but I highly recommend you show your Bears some support this season. The next home games are January 22nd and 24th against Oregon State and Oregon respectively. So, if you're a 1L or 2L, get your reading done early and get out there. If you're a 3L, you weren't going to read anyway, so you have no real excuse.
