00:00 We know that coaches are rarely satisfied and Mark Madsen had very ambitious goals for
00:08 this season.
00:09 He told all of us before the year began, even after he was hired, that he expected the Bears
00:14 to pull off an historic turnaround, the biggest victory improvement in one year of any school
00:20 in Division I history.
00:22 That was definitely ambitious and they're going to fall short of that.
00:25 They would need to win 21 or 22 games to make that happen after going 3-29 a year ago.
00:32 But they're at 10 wins now.
00:34 That's a 7-victory improvement, which is the most of any of the major conference schools
00:40 who had fewer than 10 victories a year ago.
00:42 It's definitely progress.
00:44 Is it what they want?
00:45 No.
00:46 Is it what they hope to eventually have?
00:47 I'm sure it's not.
00:49 But it is progress and I know Cal fans are excited, as we saw with the attendance the
00:55 past three games.
00:56 The road gets tougher now.
00:57 They head out on the road and they play five of their last seven away from Haas Pavilion.
01:03 Those will be challenging, but at this point we'll see how many more they can add up before
01:07 they get to the Pac-12 tournament.
