After a closely fought loss - much like the one suffered by Cal last night to USC by the score of 78-75 - the last thing a player or coach wants to do is discuss the ins and outs of that loss to a room full of inquiring minds.
While you may take the postgame news coverage of your favorite teams for granted, it is the compliance of the athletes and coaches to speak to the media that make such stories possible.
Last night, I was on hand during the postgame press conference at Haas Pavilion, not to jot down quotes or ask prying questions, but to capture the mood of the Bears while having to face the media immediately after a difficult defeat.
Here are a few photos from when media spoke with senior Markhuri Sanders-Frison and head coach Mike Montgomery following last night's game.
