Cal's teams are now 35-1 in the NCAAT when owning a 6+ point lead at the half. CBS Sports piece about the collapse:

Wow….just wow! Surprised by Cal’s post.

I had no idea that Glenn Wong, Jr. was VP/Chief of Staff of the Thunder.

Glenn Wong enters his first season as the organization’s Vice President/Chief of Staff and 12th season overall with Oklahoma City. In his current role, Wong works closely with Executive Vice President and General Manager Sam Presti and other leadership to oversee day-to-day operations, facilitate cross-discipline collaboration and manage the flow of information for staff and players.
Previously, Wong served as the Senior Project Lead for the Executive Vice President and General Manager, working with the front office on basketball operations-based projects.
He joined the Thunder in 2012 as a video analyst for the Tulsa 66ers and after one season, became the Assistant to the Executive Vice President and General Manager. The Massachusetts native holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Amherst College and an MBA from Dublin Business School in Dublin, Ireland.

UMass reference in the article too!



Probably was only a matter of time before this happened. It makes a ton of sense. Glad Cal was part of it.

Dan Wetzel was the writer for that piece, and he was a Collegian guy in the early 90s. Not surprising he'd work a little UMass angle in there.

Jesus, totally missed that it was Dan that did the piece. Good catch.
