LAST ACTION
Cal picked up the pace in the second half and stayed ahead of visiting Wright State to claim the Golden Bears' second win of 2025-26 on a 77-67 victory over the Raiders on Thursday night at Haas Pavilion. It was a four-point game in the final three minutes of action before Cal extended its advantage with some stingy defense down the stretch. Once again, Cal had four players hit double digits, led by Dai Dai Ames' game-high 23 points on the night.
- Cal made up for 3-point struggles in the first half by getting to the free-throw line to the tune of a 13-of-16 effort from the stripe to help the Bears lead things 34-28 at halftime. Cal was shooting 33.3 percent overall, trailing Wright State's 35.7 percent showing, and the Bears led on the boards 24-16. The Raiders hit four first-half 3-pointers to just one three made by Cal in those first 20 minutes of play.
- The Bears improved from beyond the arc in the next stretch, although so did Wright State. Overall, however, Cal upped its offensive production and finished the game shooting 41.8 percent while the Raiders wrapped at 37.5 percent. Cal outrebounded its visitors 43-35 and went 26-of-31 from the free-throw line with four 3-pointers made. Wright State was 10-of-18 from the stripe and hit nine threes.
- Cal was paced by Dai Dai Ames' 23 points, with Justin Pippen adding 14 points and nine rebounds along with four assists. Chris Bell and John Camden also hit double figures with 12 points apiece, while Camden hauled in nine rebounds. Pippen (8-for-8) and Bell (6-for-6) were both perfect from the free-throw line.
 
FIRST TIME OUT
- In Cal's season opener, seven newcomers scored their first points as Bears: Dai Dai Ames (18 points), Chris Bell (5), John Camden (22), Nolan Dorsey (2), Milos Ilic (4), Mantas Kocanas (2) and Justin Pippen (15).
- In their second season at Cal, sophomores BJ Fisher and Stephon Marbury II both checked in for their first official court time as Bears vs. CSUB.
- Also making their Cal debuts vs. the Roadrunners were transfer Dhiaukuei Manyiel Dut and true freshmen Luke Butler and TT Carr.
 
NEW CREW
HC Mark Madsen has a haul of new talent on board for his third season at the helm of the Cal program. Of the 13 newcomers to the roster, nine are transfers and four are true freshmen.
 
LONG GAME
Of Cal's nine transfer additions, six are post players who stretch the Bears' size in the frontcourt. Spanning from 6-foot-7 Chris Bell to 7-footer Dhiaukuei Manyeil Dut, the group checks in at an average of 6-foot-9.
 
BACK FOR MORE
Cal returns three Bears who saw time in the starting lineup last season — F Rytis Petraitis (29 starts), G DeJuan Campbell (16) and F Lee Dort (1).
