BERKELEY, Calif. — California underachieved in the eyes of its players, its athletic director and its fans.

The school fired basketball coach Ben Braun on Wednesday following another disappointing season in which the Golden Bears missed the NCAA tournament for the fourth time in five years.

Braun spent 12 years at Cal and made the tournament five times. But the Bears only went to the NCAA tournament once over his final five seasons, leading to the decision by athletic director Sandy Barbour.

She met Wednesday morning with Braun, who then met with eight players from the team in the locker room afterward with the news.

"Ultimately, the bottom line is we just didn't win enough basketball games," Barbour said. "I believe this is a very talented team and I believe they underperformed."

Cal finished ninth in the Pac-10 this season, going 17-16 overall and just 6-12 in the conference, despite having a talented roster that included likely future NBA players Ryan Anderson, DeVon Hardin and Patrick Christopher.

MILWAUKEE — UA commitment Brandon Jennings had 12 points and nine assists as the West lost 107-102 to the East in the McDonald's All-American High School Basketball Game on Wednesday night.

Jennings, one of the fastest guards in the nation and a top point guard prospect, flashed his speed when he missed a three-pointer but ran down a lazy outlet pass for a steal.

He saved his best play of the night moments later when he flipped an alley-oop pass off the backboard across the rim to Jrue Holiday for the dunk.

Tyreke Evans scored 21 points and grabbed 10 rebounds for the East.

DAVIDSON, N.C. — One of Davidson College's famous perks is the free laundry service for students. Now the school is adding another freebie: watching the team play in the NCAA tournament's round of 16.

The school's board of trustees set up a fund Wednesday to pay for any student wishing to travel to Detroit to see Davidson play Wisconsin in the Midwest Regional semifinals. Students will get free bus transportation, two nights lodging and a ticket to Friday's game.
