Butler Bulldogs to Face California Golden Bears at Berkeley's Haas Pavilion

As the California Golden Bears prepare to welcome the Butler Bulldogs to Haas Pavilion, fans are anticipating a competitive matchup. The Golden Bears have shown a mixed bag of results in their recent outings, and as they return to their home court, they will be looking for consistency and a win.


California Golden Bears VS Eastern Washington Eagles

In their last game against the Eagles, the Golden Bears narrowly missed victory with a final score of 48-50. Despite shooting an impressive 52 percent from two-point range and securing 32 rebounds, turnovers proved costly as they gave up possession 17 times. Their three-point shooting was notably lackluster at just 13 percent.


The previous away game against the Wildcats saw them scoring more freely with 68 points but still falling short against Arizona's high-powered offense that put up 81 points. The team showed improvement in ball handling with only nine turnovers and maintained strong two-point shooting at over 50 percent.


Against the Trojans, however, California struggled offensively. They managed only a field goal percentage of around 28 percent from inside the arc and were outrebounded by USC's robust frontcourt.


As we look ahead to their encounter with Butler Bulldogs at Haas Pavilion—a venue known for its vibrant atmosphere which often acts as a sixth man for the home side—the Golden Bears will need to capitalize on this advantage. Improving three-point efficiency and reducing turnovers will be crucial for California if they are going to come out on top in this contest.


Fans can catch all the action live on December 10th at Haas Pavilion or tune into Pac-12 Network for broadcast coverage. With tip-off scheduled for local evening time, it promises to be an exciting night of college basketball where home-court advantage could play a pivotal role in determining the outcome.
