Cal coach Mark Madsen is hoping for a fast start when the Bears face Sacramento State on Friday in Berkeley, Calif.

Madsen would like to avoid a replay of the team's last game, when Cal (4-1) struggled in the first half before going on to beat visiting Presbyterian 67-57 on Tuesday.

Delaware transfer John Camden led the Bears by scoring 18 of his team-high 20 points in the second half.

"I thought honestly I was pretty soft in the first half," Camden said. "I think as a team we were pretty soft. So just made that mental adjustment at halftime. I just decided to be more in attack mode in the second half."

Cal has won all three of its previous meetings against Sacramento State (3-3), which is looking to bounce back following a 79-48 road loss to UCLA on Tuesday.

The Hornets trailed 42-17
