Other than the Battle 4 Atlantis, the Badgers have played every game in the state of Wisconsin. This changes on December 22 as the Badgers travel to Berkeley, California.

School: California Golden Bears
Location: Berkeley, California
Conference: Pacific 12
Undergrad Enrollment: 25,951
2013-14 record: (21-14, 10-8 Pac-12)
Top returning players: David Kravish (11.4 pts, 7.7 rebounds); Tyrone Wallace (11.3 pts, 4.1 rebounds); Jordan Matthews (8.5 pts, 2.1 rebounds).
Who’d win in a mascot fight?:The bear wins.

One fact to help you win your local trivia night: Steve Wozniak, the cofounder of Apple, is a graduate.
Prediction: This is the first non-Battle game that really scares me. California is no slouch, and it’s a late game on the West Coast. The advantage isn’t quite the same as it is in football, but it’s still there. I still see the Badgers squeaking this one out, but it wouldn’t surprise me one bit if an unranked Cal team knocks them off.
