The great Wooden teams of the late 60s early 70s all used the backboard on shots from the side (underneath to 15-20 feet). Amaq etc could learn something there. So many shots just don’t go down.

Decent draw, in my opinion

Really? I’m rather concerned.

We’re gassed because we go 6-deep and they played so confidently against us Thurs. Reynaud’s playing the best ball of his career and we simply have no answer for him. Not sure USC would have been any better, but coughing up ASU and UW at home are hurting us.

It's better than playing through the other half of the bracket. Most worried about Utah/Colorado, but they take each other out before they could potentially face us. Furd / WSU is very winnable as long as we get past whatever regression we fell into the last few games.

This team has basically no chance to beat Arizona, so avoiding the 8/9 game was key, though honestly the Bears would have had a tough time surviving USC.

We can definitely beat Stanford and Wazzu, having done so at home this year. But as BP said about Cal playing to its potential, the same can be said for Stanford. If their 3’s are falling, it’s gonna be tough to get the W.

Cal's path depends on USC upsetting Zona again, so we can knock off USC or UCLA in the championship (I have no faith in Oregon).

I really wanted UW or ASU in the first round. I wanted to avoid USC. Stanford is right in the middle of those two groups. If Cal plays to its potential, it is the better team than Stanford.

Just wish I could watch it without adding another pay channel. So glad that the Pac

12 channel will be a thing of the past.

It's hard to underestimate just how absurd Scott's Pac-12 Network distribution strategy was. Counterproductive, and ultimately, deadly.

The rubber match. Go Mad Dog! Go Bears! We need this. The last Pac 12 tourney can't end for us in a loss to Furd $.
