Game Preview
Today, the Texas-Arlington Mavericks and California Golden Bears are facing off against each other at Haas Pavilion in one of the last non-conference games of the 2022-23 NCAAB regular season. In their last game, the Mavericks defeated San Francisco 68-63. Meanwhile, the Golden Bears were taken down 71-62 by Santa Clara in their last outing.
In their five-point victory against the Dons, the Mavs picked up their first win while playing away on 45.6% shooting at the basket. UT-Arlington led by nine at halftime and did enough to hold off San Francisco in the second half. The Mavericks managed to out-rebound the Dons 40-28, picking up 13 offensive rebounds.
In their last encounter against Texas State, UT-Arlington shot 49% at the basket, but lost the ball a whopping 16 times and made just 4-of-13 baskets from long range. The Mavs were down 33-24 by halftime, and 41 second-half points were not enough to complete the comeback. Junior guard Kyron Gibson led the scoring march with 19 points on 8-of-16 shooting.
Now looking at the other side, Cal remains winless, and with the Pac-12 on the road, getting their first win will be a challenge. The Golden Bears are one of the most inefficient teams in the nation, scoring 58 points on 39.4% shooting from the field. They also struggle quite a lot at the three-point line (26%).

Santa Clara held Cal to 25 points in the first half, taking a nine-point lead into the break. Joel Brown led his team scoring 13 points and 6 assists.
California has only been in one close match as of recently, and it was a disappointing loss to Eastern Washington. In that game, Cal scored 20 points in the first half and couldn’t take advantage of the Eagles’ poor shooting in a 50-48 loss. It was EWU’s first road game this season so far and its fifth win over a Pac-12 opponent in program history.
