Shooting 36% from the floor the past 3 games is no bueno...

I thought Kelly got fouled on the last rebound. Looked like he got pulled down as both players were coming down just as he passed the ball.

Sigh is right. Troublesome close to the season.

I am now fully off the Fox train. There was an inkling of hope he could turn it around. But we’re basically paying for Wyking results with lower recruiting. So I’m good. Time to move on before we crater this program further.

Yes, and there were plenty of seats available on the Fox train to begin with, tho I don't see him going anywhere unfortunately until after NEXT season, at the earliest. Any signs of life next year probably give him another year...I think he gets 4 years, unless things really go south in '21-'22.

I like these kids and think they work really hard, but 0-3 with 36% from the field over the past 3 winnable games is rough...

There’s only one side of college athletics being paid. Which means they need to also hold the brunt of success and failure of their respective programs. ESP in the macro win/loss picture.

Lets cut our losses and reallocate some assets to maximize value. Move Kelly to tight end and Bradley to linebacker.

I had thought that Mark Fox would bring a modicum of success or at least respectability to the program, but that is not happening. Given that BB only needs five good players with a couple of capable subs the fact that Cal cannot recruit a handful of Pac-12 caliber players is highly disturbing. Also, Fox was a defensive "whiz" but our defense is horrible. Time to end the experiment.
