Games thread- MEN'S BBall ends home slate hosting Cal (Weds., 2/28/24; 6:00 PM MT; Pac-12) and Stanford (Sunday, 7:00 PM MT; FS1)

[AztecBuff]

It's the last chance for fans (and other folk) to see men's basketball (18-9 overall, 9-7 in the Pac 12) home at the Events Center this regular season as the team hosts the Bay Area schools for the last time as fellow Pac 12 members. 1st off is a Wednesday evening (6:00 start) matchup against the Cal Golden Bears (13-15, 9-8, and winners of 3 straight), followed up with a Sunday night contest with the Stanford Cardinal (12-15, 7-10).

Wednesday's game will be shown on the Pac-12 Networks, while Sunday's is scheduled to be shown on FS1. (Further info and links for media options available near the bottom of this post.)

Note- In the NET Rankings as I type this (for games through 2/25/24), CU is at #34, Cal is #115 and Stanford #116.

Go Buffs!!!

Ironic part is I think Stanford wishes they made the move on Madsen (Stanford alum) last year instead of another year of underachieving with quality talent under Haase.

Crazy 2 of North Carolinas top 4 left Stanford (Ryan and Ingram) and they are the 9th ranked team in the country.
