Not too worried after this game. We were clearly missing Dort, and are clearly not in the hunt for a natty. Saw some good things, but we had two bad stretches that couldn't be recovered from.
Historically you could argue they were coaching from a talent deficit, but this batch of players just doesn't seem to have the defense gene. We're gonna live and die by the 3.
Is Mitrovic expected back soon?
Possible red shirt
Not sure Mantas can play at this level.
he looks a step behind for sure. may be a long day without dort in the lineup tn
Yup. This roster needs Big Lee.
Mantas might as well not even be out there.
Madsen’s inability to get a competent backup C, while understandable, has been frustrating.
Was at the women’s game earlier. Great venue, close enough to still have a lot of fans. I hope they do this tournament every year.
yeah it’s pretty awesome seeing everybody here decked out in their respective team gear
anything on whether dort plays today?
doesn’t look like he was in uniform
Hope Wednesday
Ok, you get Lee back.
He needs to stay healthy.
But the ceiling of this team will be defined by Yeanay and Wilkins.
Such a Nevada thing to play so close to the spread and over/under.
Beat the spread! Taking that moral victory

Agreed.
Past Madsen Cal squads struggle to break 50 today.
Still some things to like tonight v a quality team without Dort.
Tough to draw many conclusions from tonight. Cougars are a Final 4 contender.
yea to me the clearest and biggest gap between the two teams is coaching
Cal defense needs a lot of work, obviously will improve when Dort comes back but lots of the off ball defense and positioning is lacking
It’s an on-going issue for this staff, unfortunately. Way too easy to score on, regardless of personnel.

Think there are holes in MM’s schemes that are easy to exploit with film.
Nice runner for Ruff…that’s gotta be his game!
Wow, inside points and forcing a travel inside. Gonna be rare
Wilkins B2B TO’s
I'm terrified of what Houston's block total will be at the end of this one.
National title contender - probably the 2nd best team they’ll play this year besides Duke.
