Cal squeaked one out in the opener of the NIT tonight. They were beneficiaries (for once) of a questionable foul and were able to capitalize at the stripe, whereas New Mexico could not hit a free throw to save their 2008 lives.
It's been fashionable in Berkeley to call for Ben Braun's head on a pike after The team's disappointing run in the Pac-10, but I think he deserves the benefit of the doubt. Cal's core of players is still very young, and truthfully, I don't think they've learned how to put away an opponent yet. It doesn't help they play in the toughest conference in the NCAA (yes, I said it). They are going to be much better next season, and a run through the NIT is going to give them some much needed experience.
