They lost their SEC/ACC Challenge game against Missouri on the road and lost a rough game against Cornell at home by eight points.
They closed out 2024 with a loss against the former No. 23-ranked San Diego State by 21 points in the San Jose Tip-Off. Their two conference losses to this point have been at home against Stanford and on the road against Pitt earlier this week by 12 points. Andrej Stojakovic leads Cal in scoring this season.
