In a routine victory over the historically hapless Cal Bears, the two Zona Zoo-ers alternated between giddy and skittish.The two impassioned young men had bet the over-under point total and didn’t cover their successful bet until the final minute.

On Sunday, the Bears either launched a desperation shot or had the shot clock expire four times in the first seven minutes. Nobody scores 100 against Fox.
