California: Interior toughness
Considering what a heavy league favorite Arizona was at the beginning of the season, Cal couldn't have envisioned a better setup for this Thursday: a chance to beat the Wildcats at home and pull within half a game of them with just 10 days remaining in the regular season.
Unfortunately for the Bears, one of their No. 1 concerns heading into the season--rebounding was exposed last week in a loss at UCLA, which might have cost the team a chance to win the league title outright. Cal has an athletic team, but starting center Gabriel Hughes plays sparingly, which means the Bears often have just one player on the court taller than 6-6--6-10 forward Amit Tamir. Tamir leads the team with 6.6 rebounds a game, but 80 percent of those have come on defense because Tamir spends much of his time on offense on the perimeter.
With only two games remaining after Arizona, the Bears need to toughen up inside and commit to every loose ball and rebound. That's something they didn't do against UCLA. The Bruins--a team in danger of not even making the Pac-10 Tournament--had several offensive put backs late in the game, including the game-tying and game-winning baskets.
