Coach Fox in the postgame interview sounded beaten. And not just in one game. It was sad even though our Bears are woeful on a good day. Hard to see Fox recovering from this. Perhaps the decent thing to do is to let him go.

What's to recover from? He's making bank courtesy of an incompetent AD (and a Chancellor who does not care about winning in the Revenue sports).

He should, but he has million $ reasons not to.

If only we’d have had DeJuan Clayton….

OC Bear's avatar

If only we had a Chancellor that gave a darn....

KenPom model remains irrationally optimistic.

has to be a Cal bot doing the coding...

We faded and are losing by a bundle. 82-56 with a minute to go

Our big lacks basketball skills.

Nothing against Thieman but he and most of our players are 3rd stringers in the Pac. It’s so sad that on top of the lack of quality, I don’t see any individual improvement or teamwork.

I think it’s fair to say Lars has legitimately improved in his time at Cal….it’s just still not good enough.

LABear1983's avatar

Yes I agree with this. But he’s not a college level player.

OC Bear's avatar

Since Lars starts for Cal, (through the associative property), does that mean Cal b'ball is not a college level program? (could we not beat the Little Sisters of the Poor?)

OC Bear's avatar

Agreed. Lars has made significant improvement to his game, such that he'd be fine in the Mountain West.

Jimmy Chitwood's avatar

He’s a lesser skilled Kenyon Jones

OC Bear's avatar

well sure, didn't say he'd be a star* or even start, but he'd be a fine addition to several of the WCC schools.

*Jones was WCC PoY after he transferred to USF

Jimmy Chitwood's avatar

Ya I know. I’m agreeing with you.

Gawd this is unwatchable. The first time for me in 40 years. Why don’t they pull the plug and get Monty and or Ben Braun to come in and be interim or permanent coaches! I bet they could fix the lack of everything literally like in one week.

KJ1980's avatar

Cal is down but competitive in the first half.

How does Butler have any wins? They also are having injury problems, I thought it was impossible to win a basketball game unless your entire roster was healthy.

OC Bear's avatar

there was no covid in Indiana.....

Jimmy Chitwood's avatar

That’s actually partly true. ;-)

Go Bears! Surprise us all. And damn Furd

CAL SEEMS TO BE A BASKET CASE WHEN IT COMES TO BASSKETBALL. GERBEAR

Jimmy Chitwood's avatar

This crowd is an embarrassment, GERBEAR!

What’s going on here???

OC Bear's avatar

The home team is an embarrassment.

Jimmy Chitwood's avatar

Your starting PG still shooting just 50% from the FT line is too.

That remains horrific.

OC Bear's avatar

I'm a really old Blue and can still hit ~50% from the charity stripe. (Of course, I shoot underhanded like Rick Barry.)

Jimmy Chitwood's avatar

Do you have any eligibility left?

HaasBear's avatar

I’m so jaded on this athletic department right now. I have zero desire to watch this game knowing how poorly the administration is run. Really sucks for the kids.

Jimmy Chitwood's avatar

It’s horrid. I’ve been going to Cal games for over 40 years and I am frigging embarrassed of this athletics administration. Embarrassed.

Carol Christ, Jim Knowlton…they should be ashamed of themselves.
