Terry Morillo: Our starters tonight are: PG Mike Williams, 6-0 freshman who was a 5-star recruit; SG Jonte Edwards, 6-0 sophomore who started at PG last season and averaged 6.7 ppg, 3.7 apg, and 1.5 rpg; SF Chris Broussard, 6-3 senior who’s been a 3-year starter for us and who averaged 8.8 ppg, 2.4 apg, and 3.2 rpg last season; PF Lonnie Morrison, 6-7 sophomore who came in off the bench as a freshman and averaged 6.2 ppg, 0.8 apg, and 2.9 rpg while hitting 59% of his FG’s; C Marcus Wright, 6-9 junior who started as a freshman at Boston College and was a part-time starter for us last season, averaging 7.7 ppg, 1.2 apg, and 4.0 rpg. Our bench players will get significant playing time also.
Our shots were falling the entire first half. We hit 67% of our FG’s and 7 of 8 from beyond the arc. Cal shot well also but we took a 45-35 lead to the locker room. Cal came out and scored the first 11 points of the 2nd half to edge ahead. Poor shot selection by us plus the refs hammering us with fouls resulted in Cal going ahead by 11. We made a run late but came up short, losing 78-73.
