Scoring down in January Bell amassed 13 points (5-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists over 24 minutes during Wednesday's 63-61 loss to Florida State.

Impact Bell continues to be a steady contributor for Cal, as the senior transfer from Syracuse has quietly posted career-bests of 12.8 ppg and 43.5 percent shooting through 21 games (20 starts). The scoring has dipped a bit since the calendar turned to 2026, however, as he averaged 14.8 ppg over his first 14 games of the year, but that mark is down to 8.7 ppg over his last seven.

Impact Bell was impressive on both ends of the court Tuesday and led the Golden Bears to a solid win over the Bruins. This was Bell's second straight game with at least 20 points, and he's cleared that mark in three of his last four outings. His role as Cal's go-to option on offense is set in stone.
