Obviously it's still relatively early, and he is certainly better than his predecessors, but so far I am not too impressed with Madsen's in-game coaching. Seems like most of the time our opponents adjust and we don't have any answers.
Missing the D, Cal D failed to catch the flight East. Fouls being called on Cal when it looks like all ball blocks or steals in 2nd from where I’m sitting
Cal’s D has not made an appearance since Madsen got to town. He’ll get it figured out, but they certainly gotta get it communicated to the kids so they can execute.
Cal’s D under Madsen is really the only cause for concern to continue the upward trajectory. Last year you could maybe point to the lack of depth, but this year they’ve regressed badly.
Not sure what the solution is, players v schematics, but it’s tough to win ballgames v Power Conference rosters when you’re so easy to score on…
3 point shooting by the Bears and against the Bears has been the difference this year. Cal doesn't work for anything other than driving to the basket. Very few assists is also a big problem.

Not getting much offense from our bigs this season...
Makes it easy to scheme and play defense. Just slough off on Cal's bigs, and focus on Andrej and front Blackshear.
No. It was a concern - Sissoko was a rotational big in East Lansing that averaged like 3 & 4, and Dort was basically a project.
I like Dort, he's a playmaker and not half bad on rebounds.
Overall, our guys fgo for many low percentage shots. Lots of bricklaying.
I think he’s absolutely got upside…but to be competitive this year for the postseason we probably needed a proven P4 big….
Welp, Clemson adjusted.
We are fading. Badly

Last two fouls on Petriatus looked like all ball to me

The first half was competiyive
These 2H defensive lapses are rough.
Did Andrej hurt his finger on that play?
That's what I wondered.
We run over to double and they find the open man. Can't say it's wrong, but they're scoring.

Tigers shooting 75% in teh H2
These 2H collapses are killing them. Madsen and his staff are not dummies - they know basketball. But something is getting lost in translation.
Mirroring FB?
Well, both struggle to beat Power Conference teams…;-)
The Cal curse.
But, some good news about JKS. I guess it's certain, now.
Like six or seven times this game (at least)...
Andrej!
He had an amazing first half!
Amazing
How does dort miss that. Argh
Holding up so far.
Go Bears! Beat the Southerners!!!

Basically another 30 minutes of good basketball and the last ten minutes did the Bears in.
getting crushed in the paint
Campbell seems out of control
Losing our grip
