There’s a reason Walker scored over double his season average. Every time he started his dribble with his back to the basket (inside or outside) just before he did his spin he would fully extend his left arm chest high to impede/obstruct the defender. Can’t believe the refs didn’t call this even once. I’m sure Madson complained because u cant get away with this even in rough NBA. We missed lots of east shots at the basket….that’s why we lost.
True but they aren't hitting their 3's so 6 points is easy to overcome if they can make some adjustments on defense and limit the turnovers, which is easier said than done
I went for my customary late afternoon walk today and saw a guy with a Montana State t-shirt. He was running the opposite direction so no chance for trash talking. Enjoy the game as this east coaster will be asleep by the start.

This rebuild is gonna take a minute.
Well, this was a frustrating game.
Didn’t give up but would’ve been nice to pull a win out the hat
Dang it
Wtf. Is with our defense
Killer
Can we please double walker every time he touches??
Still in this if can get a few more stops
Can’t buy a bucket
If they can double aimaq then why can’t we double walker?
Cal really needs to work on having a more consistency in defensive intensity
Night folks. Going to bed.
Aimaq has been terrible today, also very weak hands seems even guards are able to get the ball loose easily
Tyson a turnover machine tonight…clearly pressing. That’s 5 in 22 mins.
Now 6.
Both Celestine and Askew in boots….ugh.
Defensive intensity lacking and too many turnovers
This team is brutal at on-ball defense.
all defense looks brutal; they are 13 for 19 from 2.
True, but they’re really getting cooked off the bounce. Still tighten that up and the turnovers and they can escape with a W maybe.
Meh. We look like there’s still a long way to go before we’re contenders.
Being above .500 should be the goal this season. And develop the young guys
Yup.
And it’s do-able. We’ll get better. Frustrating now though and the awful Cal strength & conditioning program bites again, unfortunately.
So much to complain about from this half, yet only down by four. Some good halftime adjustments and this game is very winnable
uh, make that 6. But if Montana could make some 3's, it'd be 20 easily.

Absolutely
Can we try doubling that guy?
Good to see Gus Larson get some minutes.
Aimaq is getting cooked by an undersized big
Yeah, not good.
Gah
Sigh.
How come no one can guard Walker?
no answer. Kid is a beast. Low center of gravity, and quick. Aimac is not quick. The Tommies proved that.
This is frustrating
Aimaq is solid but so far unspectacular. He’s definitely not going to be a dominant big at this level.
Nice Okafor! That a kid!
Okafor smdh
Just go straight up big fella!!!!
big guys don't like low passes below their knees. that's on Cone
I was talking about on D where he bit on the pump fake instead of going straight up…that was a bad pass by Cone.
Home losses to UOP and Montana State.
Would be no bueno.
oh, ye of little faith
(no bad juju)
It’s not that I don’t have faith. I think Montana St is good and we’re down 3 key pieces.
easy layups in the paint. 7 for 8
With the lack of depth this game would be a good sign if Cal can win, last five years this game would have been an automatic loss
Yeah this is gonna be tough to get a win. Bobcats solid and well coached.
What’s the story w Celestine and Askew?
That idiot ref just blew a whistle on a play he wasn’t even looking at.
Big flop on 1st set draws a foul on Aimaq.
F-ing joke.
Anyone else having trouble dialing up the game on Pac12 Now?
