Martin hopes to have all three back for the next game.We dont want to have any excuses after the game, we have key guys out, he said. Probably one of the better wins of my coaching career, seeing guys compete and battle and not make excuses.Moores three-point play with 1:53 left in regulation pulled Cal to 62-60. Martin missed a 3 on the other end and a jumper in the paint with 44 seconds remaining and Cal had one more chance with 35.7 seconds left.Its unbelievable, Rooks said. Charlies a great player.
