The Syracuse Orangemen and the California Golden Bears tip it off at 7 pm tonight in MSG in the 2K Sports Coaches versus Cancer Classic. Since you probably don't know much about Cal (unless your name is Jameson Fleming) let's get to know tonight's opponent a little better.
A Golden Bear is a legend, based on some tall tales that came out of Kansas in the mid 1800s. It doesn't really seem to fit with California, then again Syracuse and Oranges aren't exactly a natural combination.
They are coached by Mike Montgomery, who was successful at Stanford, went to the Golden State Warriors and failed, and is now having success at Cal. Based on his career, you can say he's fairly comfortable in the Bay area.
California can really shoot from distance, which could pose a problem for SU.
Many Cal players have never been to NY. Here's hoping they spent a lot of time in Flashdancers last night, because I've uhhhhhh, never been there.
The game will be the first-ever meeting between the two teams.
Sean from NunesMagician talks about the game with Cal Bears bloggers at the SBN roundtable.
And for our California readers, all none of you - tickets to Cal basketball games start at $10.
