What about Wyking's -16 in a row streak?

It was a different world... and a more fun one. Now everybody has to go through a metal detector, show their vax card, wear a mask and not bring in a bag. Then they have to sit way back from the court and we have to have a Security Czar on the court during time outs. (That's somebody different from the host/MC, who is somebody different from the PA announcer.) We need to have all this extra crap because viruses exist now for the first time and terrorists and shooters really want to go to Cal Basketball games even though there is hardly anybody there to terrorize or shoot. (Also, we now have kick-ass, entertaining promotions and stunts that need to be run.)
We know they didn't have those risks back then because we are all here now, alive, and that's proof positive.
I can't believe more people don't love Cal Basketball now and come to all the games. I can't fathom why the program is in the red.
Cal gives the students great seats for both football and basketball. Not every school does that.Big C said:HoopDreams said:

We had the absolute worst seats in Harmon. Right behind the basket about 15 rows up. Completely obstructed view. When we could, we would always sit somewhere else. That night we were in our seats. Leaning left and right, straining to see. Best night ever. I have nice seats now. They are not hard to get. I would trade them in a heartbeat to be back in Harmon. Though the few times Haas has been full and rocking have been close.HoopDreams said:

Harmon was the BEST!
Start Slowly and taper off
Very different. There were Cal students who were born before Cal's losing streak to UCLA began, and graduated from Cal before it ended. It was like a slow death by over 50 cuts, at two cuts a season. And it gave UCLA students and fans bragging rights over us for 25 years.bearister said:

Wyking's streak hammered Cal fans and students all at once, by comparison, week by week, game by game for about only half a season. And there are far fewer Cal students attending games now than in 1961, so not as many students suffered the pain of Wyking's streak, than did those who suffered the humiliation of the losing streak to UCLA.

Or Fox's 17 PAC-12 losses in a single season?
When did 3 point line come in?
distance moved around, but..HoopDreams said:

> Used only in [men's'] conference play for several years, it was adopted by the NCAA in April 1986 for the 1986-7 season at 19 ft 9 in (6.02 m)..
> The NCAA adopted the three-pointer in women's basketball on an experimental basis for that season at the same distance, and made its use mandatory beginning in 1987-88

So i guess this game was in the early part of 86, one season before starting the fall of the same year with the 3 point line
