Then, instead of waiting an hour into the show, it happened.

The Bears were selected as the highest seed in the program's history and shocked many Cal fans.
Jordan Brand was happy.

Charles Barkley said we have the most talented team in the country after UNC. This was after he struggled to use the video board because of all the lotion he uses.
But let's take one step back and listen to what Coach thinks about going into Spokane.
Oh but look here, and Ty mentions a very familiar name. A David Kravish had texted him we hear?
Jabari Bird and Jordan Mathews, said the exact same thing. It's march. They know its win or go home. Its to have fun and try and win as many as you can.
Jaylen Brown and Ivan Rabb was in this situation last year with Jaylen playing in the Dick's Sporting Goods National Championship and Ivan playing in the CIF State Championship.
Its familiar yet unfamiliar. It's unchartered territory, and yet theres a sense of navigation.
We begin that journey on Friday. At 11AM. Spokane, Washington becomes Bear Territory.
California Love. California Rising.
