Golden Nuggets: Courtney Range, Team USA capture gold

Women's Basketball

Daily Cal:

The Americans won handily, 82-63, to make it a six-game undefeated run in the tournament. Range, who plays at the stacked forward position, struggled for playing time in the final game, as she has for much of the tournament. She played only two minutes in the final game and 39 minutes in the United States’ six games, with a high of 15 minutes in the team’s 92-54 win over the Czech Republic.

The defense should show improvement, because honestly you can't get much worse. However, they will still not be very good. I see Cal playing more Arena Football like shootouts in 2015. The road schedule is very difficult and I don't see them winning any of those games apart from maybe Washington. That means they have to win all six home games and with games against USC and Arizona State, that will be difficult as well. I think the Bears come up just short of a bowl again in 2015.
