"You have to have special moments in order to be a special team. What I want the team to know is don't take it for granted, Smith said. I want them to celebrate. I want them to feel this. I want them to be happy, not be too cool for school. We beat Stanford and we're going to act like we beat Stanford because of the respect we have for them. These moments are really, really meaningful."
"These moments are really, really meaningful. Certainly it was special for the Bears (12-9, 3-5 ACC), who improved to 10-1 at home and earned a season split with the Cardinal (15-6, 4-4). Cal began the day at No. 58 in the NET computer rankings, but without a victory in eight tries against their higher-level Quad 1 or 2 opponents. Cal remains several steps from climbing onto the NCAA Tournament bubble, but has opportunities to improve its resume this week"
Lulu Twidale scored 10 points in overtime to lift Cal to a 78-71 victory over Stanford before 4,519 fans at Haas Pavilion. Charmin Smith urged the team to embrace the moment, celebrate the win and not take beating Stanford for granted. The Bears improved to 12-9 overall and 10-1 at home, earning a season split with the Cardinal. Cal entered the day No. 58 in the NET and remained without a Quad 1 or 2 win in eight attempts, but has upcoming home opportunities against Notre Dame and No. 8 Louisville to improve its resume. Stanford, No. 36 NET, fell short despite a strong fourth quarter.
