2011-2012 Cal Golden Bears College Basketball Preview:
The shouts in Berkley this fall should be “Bears, Ball and Crabbe, oh my!” That’s because the Pac-10 Freshman of the Year, Bear shooting guard Allan Crabbe, set the west afire last season and is looking to do so again in 2011-12.
Crabbe, who broke Cal’s three-point record last season, is joined in the backcourt with senior shooting guard Jorge Gutierrez and junior point guard Brandon smith to create a high-scoring rotation. After sitting out a year because of injury, senior center Harper Kamp looks to be a recipient of that run-and-gun, three-guard play. Last year’s member of the All-Pac-10 second-team led the team for most of the year in scoring (14.2 ppg) and rebounding (5.6 rpg), and is looking to end his Bear career with a final push in the new Pac-12 conference.

The Cal Golden Bears first began intercollegiate basketball in 1907. One could argue that Cal’s golden years have long passed. By 1960 the program would have won the last of its 13 conference titles, and its one and only national championship in 1959. The Golden Bears have, however, remained an NCAA tourney fixture, playing in 4 of them since the turn of the century, and also managing to win the NIT in 1999. Some of the well-known and very talented players to wear the blue and gold include Jason Kidd, Sharif Abdur-Rahim, Lamond Murray, and Sean Lampley.
The Cal Golden Bears play their home games at Haas Pavilion in Berkeley, California. The arena holds 11,877 spectators and is known to be one of, if not the, loudest arenas in the Pac-12 and in all of the NCAA. Originally known as Harmon Gym, Haas was remodeled in 1999, but still retains the intimate qualities of a college gymnasium. There are no sound proofing materials to dampen the noise and the 900 seat student section known as “the Bench” is a notably raucous and energetic bunch.
