We're just over a half-hour away from tipoff here at Haas Pavilion for the men's basketball team's conference home opener against Washington. Big week for the Bears with home games against the Washington schools. Legitimate chance to be 3-1 in Pac-12 play. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Both of these games will present stiff challenges.

Stay tuned here and on Twitter (@CalBearBlog) throughout the game for updates.
