Shockers Hold on to Pull off Win Against Cal

Despite a valiant and tireless effort from a young Cal team, No. 6 Wichita State pulled off a hard-fought win in the second game of the Maui Jim Maui Invitational, 92-82.
 
The Golden Bears dominated the first 20 minutes of the game with high energy and sharp shooting. Cal recorded seven three-pointers in the first half and a 51 percent shooting percentage from the field, thanks in part to guard Don Coleman who contributed 26 points in the first half. Following a 9-point lead at halftime, the Golden Bears led by 18 points after the first four minutes of the second half.
 
In the end, however, experience won out. Wichita State put on a press that was too much for Cal to handle and Coleman was held to just nine points in the last 20 minutes. Wichita State's leading scorer, Landry Shamat, contributed 15 points.
 
With this win, Wichita State remains undefeated and will prepare to face Marquette in Tuesday's semifinal game at 1:30 p.m. ET.
