Cal beat UW on a 3-pointer with 5 seconds left.
Cal and Stanford are now tied for 7th in the PAC-12.

I thought it was funny that before game #1 of this trip the tv commentators mentioned Stanford was battling for the Pac-12 tournament's #4 seed. 
Now Stanford is only a game clear of 10th.

Madsen has been great! Fun to watch.

Cal basketball fans have been through a heaping mound of $#%& for most of the time I've been a sports fan (about 21 years).  Now for the first time in ages, it would appear that things are finally looking up for them, although this year Madsen had to play the cards that were dealt to him by Mark Fox, Wyking Jones, etc.  One poster on their fan site, Write For California, has described their future as "glorious."

Cal just has to figure out how to not have Madsen get poached before he does something noteworthy.....

As long as Muir remains Stanford's director of athletics -- that may be for years since Stanford is unlikely to dismiss him -- Cal certainly won't have to worry about Stanford trying to lure Mark back to the Farm. Why Muir didn't offer the head coach position to Mark a couple of years ago seems explicable only by some combination of (a) lack of smarts, (b) failure to be pro-active, and (c ) illusory belief that Haase would lead Stanford MBB back to relevance.
