Such a shame they didn't get to play more in the Tourney, but I was really pleased with their progress. Sure miss basketball. Go Bears!

Thanks Rick! Still hopeful for .500 as we continue our crawl to Mark Fox-ian Mediocrity from the farthest depths of the Wyking Abyss, but it could be tough with this schedule...10-10 maybe seems like the absolute ceiling? It'll be interesting to see the effect, if any, attendance (of any kind) has on ALL games...a trip to Eugene perhaps doesn't seem AS daunting in an empty Knight Arena in the end of Dec...dunno - fully empty gyms, or at least nearly, seem like a wild card.

Question for you Rick, and others more dialed in with the Hoops program...any news on whether Jared Hyder has pursued a waiver to be eligible immediately following his transfer from Fresno St? Not surprisingly, the corrupt NCAA waived the sit year for UK's impact 7'-er from WFU, much like they did with Justin Fields at Ohio St...they just love their blue-bloods. But it was rumored that transfer waivers in the COVID-era would be more lenient and common, so I was wondering if Hyder was going to pursue one. Be nice to see him in the PG mix...

Go Bears.

I was wondering why anyone would bother televising Cal men’s basketball in its current iteration, but I do suppose Mark Fox coached teams are effective at curing insomnia.

I can't believe Miller is still their coach. What does that guy have on everybody?

Is Arizona going to the get the death penalty is my most intriguing question . . . I think players should be able to get paid, and Arizona's biggest issue is they got caught, but on the other hand, I dislike Arizona fans immensely. On the third hand, college basketball as a whole without Arizona is most assuredly worse - so whatever gives them the most embarrassment without eliminating the program is what i'm hoping for.
