So, Cal has a game Friday night at 7 PM. Then, depending on the results, Cal will have 1-2 games on Saturday. Then, depending on the results, Cal will have 0-2 games on Sunday. Best case scenario is Cal wins Fri at 7 PM, wins Sat at 3 PM, and Sun at 3 PM. I think that is the smoothest way to go. Here is info on the ticket sales:
Berkeley Regional Ticket Information
