Cal basketball transfer Marsalis Roberson is going from one UC school to another as he committed to UC Davis for next season. He made his announcement on social media on Friday.

UC Davis, which plays in the Big West Conference, beat Cal this past season -- a 75-65 victory for the Aggies at Haas Pavilion on November 7 in the  season opener for both teams.  It was Davis' first victory ever over Cal and was an omen of things to come for Cal, which lost its first 12 games and finished with a 3-29 record.

Davis finished the season with an 18-14 record, including 11-8 in Big West play.

The 6-foot-6 Roberson, who was a sophomore this past season, played 17 minutes in that loss to Davis and scored two points.  For the season, Roberson played in 31 games with no starts, averaging 12.7 minutes, 1.8 points and 1.8 rebounds.

Roberson is from Oakland and attended Bishop O'Dowd High School.

Roberson was one of seven Cal players who entered the transfer portal after the season. He joins Joel Brown (who is transferring to Iona), Lars Thiemann (Loyola Marymount), Kuany Kuany (VCU), Sam Alajiki (Rice), Jarred Hyder (Cal Poly) and Obinna Anyanwu (undecided).

The Golden Bears have brought in five transfers since Mark Madsen was hired as head coach -- Jalen Cone, Mike Meadows, Fardaws Aimaq, Keonte Kennedy and Jaylon Tyson.
