Great win.

This was our best win in a long time. What an awesome game.

I think the UCLA win was better. We have to stop giving teams 10 point handicaps.

The Bears have been ballin’ since about the 10 minute mark at USC. Great win Bears!

I know it's late but I hope Erlyn Madsen drops by to celebrate with us.

Asked below what this program’s identity is going to be…think we know now: mental toughness.

Team is learning to battle.

Program defining win tonight, folks. To quote Dan Beluomini: “How do ya like it?”

Jaylon Tyson went supernova like he was posing for the Webb Space Telescope. I think he's found his home.

shout out to Larson

shout out to Grant who played more aggressively than he has in a while 4 rebounds and 3-5 shooting including 2-3 from downtown

We were undersized inside but not out fought.

So many haters. Love reading the beginning comments to the end. The bear doesn’t quit, the bear doesn’t die! Believe!

I gladly admit my mistake. This second half is how I imagined Madsen ball could be.

Aimaq is gone so we're not scoring in the post. But we're defending, scrapping for rebounds, lethal on the perimeter, and taking care of the ball. After being down 20. If this is Madsen ball, I'm here for it (except the falling 20 points behind)

Expand full comment

What happened to Aimaq? I just tuned in for the last few minutes.

Fouled out with about 3 minutes left. Only played 24 minutes. Colorado center pushed him around and shut him down. Tough night inside aside from rebounds.

Expand full comment

man, this is crazy! first, UCLA, now this? I gave up when they went down by 20.

Simpson is out of control

Win or lose, I love the fight!

TYSON!!!!

Cal with the great run ... dumb inbound unforced turnover and a easy basket for colorado

I've been critical of some of the calls on Cal, but that was a quick 5 second violation, and I don't think I've seen that all season

Expand full comment

Our defense has intensified and it's making a difference.

Bad pass turnover...argh

Expand full comment

Bears on a run, but how long can Larson defend their center? He must be double Larson's weight and taller

missing Okofor!

Expand full comment

Larson can defend as long as he has fouls to give. He's not going to score much, though.

Expand full comment

Only 6 points behind now. 10 minutes to go. Lots of time.

Expand full comment

I won't get my hopes up but the score is prettier when we hit 3s.

Expand full comment

Aimaq is a poor defender

This is a game where Grant needs to step up (he's 2-3 including 1 three). He needs to defend better and grab more rebounds at 6-9

otherwise we will have to continue to jack up 3s

Curtis helped us defensively

Can Cal go on one of our 2nd half runs to make a game of it?

Expand full comment

We are going to turn this around.

Expand full comment

Reading through this thread the morning after—everything before your post was negative, but you called it! What an inspired team. Go Bears.

Expand full comment

Looking forward to no Cone or Aimaq. Always a painful watch

Expand full comment

Simply not competitive from the opening tip.

Night, Bear fans. Until tomorrow.

Come Back Man!

I did. Took a little breather to settle down, then returned. Didn’t want to jinx by posting.

What’s this program’s identity going to be under Madsen?

We still don’t have an answer to that yet.

Expand full comment

Gonna build around Brown/Newell/Celestine/Curtis.

Expand full comment

Ugh another talent gap game. Time to reset expectations for this one.

Expand full comment

Ha, Fardaws can’t guard anyone

Expand full comment

is that breaking news?

Expand full comment

Not a bit.

But every now and then, you see just how poor a defender he is. The Montana State big, this guy tonight. Zoiks.

Expand full comment

Curtis a big body - needs to work on post moves.

Pathetic with the ball. So careless. Can’t make a shot.

Madsen has a lot of work to do.

the difference in athleticism is staggering. Not sure Madsen can fix that.

Gonna have to recruit and develop. Can’t live in the portal.

Aimaq was so overrated coming into the season. Below average power 5 big

Expand full comment

Zero chance to play in the League.

Been wondering since Opening Day how he won DPOY, let alone twice.

Expand full comment

I don't proactively follow the schedule. I am usually always "surprised" by WFC hours before or after the game starts.
