Go Bears. I hope we can hang in there and be competitive. If we are, I hope Fox improves his inside 3 minute decision making. He tends not to make strategic use out of timeouts, and the Bears tend to play methodically as if time was not an issue. This must change.

agree, seems like Fox tries to continue to slow down the play. Maybe during the early/middle of the game it works, but in close games teams are going max defense, and when that happens vs this year's cal team, the bears have gone into offense hibernation

I agree fox needs to change up his 3 minute strategy and just try to maximize scoring, not clock

A tough matchup for just about every team in the nation, but particularly Cal

Their 2 7 footers mean it will be tough to get any buckets from perimeter players around the baskets and AZ will extend their defense to make it tough on our shooters as they know they have a rim protector behind them

Only hope is if Kelly can still score with his elite footwork and get their shot blocker in foul trouble

I think we see a lot of Lars today, especially against their backup center as we really have no one else to defend the post besides Kelly, and he will already have his hands full
