the bears dropped 4 spots from #18 to #22 in the ap top 25, the downslide wuz not due to losing to #14 duke at cameron arena but rather due to being 100% uncompetitive in a 72-38 azz kicking
the good news is that the bears still control their destiny in the fierce battle to get ranked in the top 16 at the regular season's end in order to receive a homecourt #4 seed or better for the 1st 2 games at the friendly lair of the bear haas pavillion
#13 north carolina: cal hosts the tar heels at haas on january 30th
#14 duke: bears lost to the blue devils on the road 72-38
#15 oklahoma
#16 west virginia
#17 tennessee
#18 georgia tech: cal hosts the yellow jackets at haas on february 27th
#19 alabama: cal beat the crimson tide at haas 69-65
#20 north carolina state: cal beat the wolfpack at haas 78-71
#21 michigan state: cal played poorly down the stretch vs the spartans on a neutral court in losing 78-72
#22 cal
the bears will also get a national chance for positive exposure against #3 notre dame in south bend on february 9th
top 16 or go home#
recap:
KEY LOSSES this week by team's ranked ahead of #22 cal in anticipation of monday's new top 25 rankings
#8 maryland lost
three games to texas 89-51, ohio state 74-66 & ucla 82-67
#13 north carolina lost at home to florida state 86-84
#16 west virginia lost on the road to arizona 77-62
#18 georgia tech lost at home to duke 55-50
#19 alabama lost at home to vanderbilt 66-64
hopefully the bears will move up a spot or two tomorrow morning (it's also possible they will remain at #22) & then a home sweep next week of #13 north carolina & pittsburgh would potentially move the then 20-3 bears into the
top 16 the following monday
top 16 or go home#
