Cal also has a women's team. They defeated Ca Poly at Haas yesterday , 89-73, to raise their season record to 8-2. The Bears were led by frosh guard Jayda Curry's 27 points. Jazzy Green contributed 20 points. Curry and Green each hit four three pointers. The Bears close out their non conference schedule Tuesday at home vs. St Marys. Tip off is at 1:00. Come check them out.

Makale Foreman down in a heap grabbing his leg. Not sure what happened, was visibly limping up the floor bringing the ball up and called for a sub immediately.

Cal has played pretty bad yet are ahead which is something. I’m at this game and you could put this crowd in a cemetery and not tell the difference.

This is a pretty ugly defensive game.

I for one am pleased to see this team close out these games that they used to choke away. PAC 12 play will be tough but seeing these young men battle and fight for Cal is admirable.

In regards to the comments about it being quieter than a cemetery what were you expecting? No students, no mike men, no band and the announcer/DJ trying to compensate for all the lost or forgotten traditions that made Harmon (haas on rare occasions early on) electrifying.

Flashing “make some noise “ on the big screen isn’t a recipe for motivating a crowd. I was at the Oregon State game and it was a sterile affair. The vibe created by the Music was good up to a point.

I don’t know maybe it’s best to not have a crowd screaming their heads off spreading the virus. Maybe it’s time to create new traditions that isn’t dependent on everyone watching the big screen.

Jordan Shepard is going to be our Don Coleman/Geno Carsile - our best one-on-one player by default. We're just going to have to live with the inefficacy because sometimes we can't get Andre the ball and Grant needs off action to score.

We definitely looked better vs Santa Clara (which I felt played better than Dartmouth) but I'm just glad we got out with the W.

I never would've figured this team to have a winning record, even if they haven't played anyone. Good going!

61-55 win over Dartmouth in a good performance considering finals impacted practice last week and were a bit of a distraction. Not good enough to beat most Pac-12 teams but overall performing better than expected.
