Umm, weren’t we favorites over pacific by same amount? Hope they get their shooting edge back. Remember the hoop is 2x the diameter of the ball.

Newell was still nursing an injury and didn't play much in the 2nd half & Tyson left the game in the 2nd half with an injury or a bad cramp.

The Cal/Berkeley mascot needs a makeover commensurate with the new basketball era under Mark Madsen.

The mascot is looking old, apologetic, tentative.

He has a smile reminding me of Disney’s “Goofy.” I would be willing to pay for a new Cal Bear mascot costume if that could be allowed.

The Cal Bear mascot needs to exude a powerful soul and a potential for aggression (like an Alpha-male,)

while still exuding friendliness towards children-fans.

Ideally something more like the Philadelphia Flyers mascot, Gritty.

I brought a female friend to her 1st Cal game vs WSU and she said Oski looks like a Perv/Creeper...the way he slowly walks with his hands behind his back & clothes from a bygone era LOL! She's NOT lying!

Any word on Newell & Tyson? They were both nursing injuries against UOP and unable to to play most of the 2nd half.
