Heck we scored 71. Right in our area of comfort if not a bit more than we are used to. The problem is they scored 96 and seemingly made every 3 pointer, even with decent defense played by the Bears. Have to tip the hat to Arizona.
They're undoubtedly a good team - just saying a blowout win v. this below-average Cal team in what is usually a decidedly bad matchup for the Bears from an athleticism standpoint doesn't necessarily stamp the 'Cats as the class of the Conference just yet.
Again, their road wins are meh, and home wins v UW, CO and Utah are nothing more than solid.
Shouldn't draw too much from this game, hoop...this is an awful matchup for a Cal team that's light on P12 caliber players....Wildcats are bigger, stronger, faster, better and their style of play favors a blowout...SC and UCLA can match the 'Cats talent, and they're good enough to control the tempo.
U of A is good, no doubt, but can't say they outclass the others considering they have yet to even face any of those 3 teams.
Ya...we just don't have the horses to compete with this level of talent and scheme...
SC and UCLA are equally good, but the style of play is more conducive to Fox's early-1950's, Indiana high school basketball style. We've always struggled with athletic teams that are capable on offense....
Yeah, we need to play a really good game to keep game competitive, defend, rebound, limited turnovers, hit the open shots we do get, stay out of foul trouble, and get their shot 7 footers in foul trouble

Let’s avoid UA getting 100
A small victory
25 point loss … we just got rolled by a machine
They look better than any team in the conference
Well, they did today v. an overmatched, bottom tier Cal team.
Tuesday at Pauley will be a bigger test. Not ready to crown the ‘Cats until they at least play a game v. SC/LA/OR
Yeah, they haven’t played the top of the conference yet, but they look better to my eye

Well you are right. UCLA slicing and dicing the cats, and beating them at their own game
My opinion was shaded by our games vs both teams
Not optimistic about our games in LA
Indeed
2K aggressive in this game
Cal missing lots of FTs
The thing about a game like this is AZ out classes the entire pac 12 including UCLA, USC and Oregon

This blowout makes me feel lucky that my cable provider does not have the Pac 12 network. Listening on the radio is painful enough
UA has some talent.

Kelly has his hands full playing vs their 7 footer, but if that’s not enough they are doubling him
He somehow got a pass out of there anyway that time but no bucket
2K!
Rout.
Embarassing.
6 min in this game is over.
Yes. A 17-3 deficit is not a promising start
Yeah, can’t watch. Officiating is bullshit.
Flop
He touched his baby toe
Probably need a six 3 day from Grant, Shepherd to hit +50% of his shots and <10 team TO’s just to keep this one close...could get out of hand early.

Agree. They run a better offense and more talented and athletic than ucla
