ASU beat Oregon by 24 tonight and we lose to Colorado at home. Maybe that Oregon game wasn't such a watershed win.

Nope. Ducks lit a dumpster fire this week and threw their NCAA bid into it.

To be up 11 @ the under 4 and then be down 15 with 7 minutes left tonight was disappointing to say the least, with the 2nd half being unwatchable. Very poor effort.

Agreed about the poor effort. I had a feeling the Bears would fold in the 2nd half and they did. Also, Oregon game looks like it was not a big deal nor a signature win for Fox.

Hyder does not look right. Got shook badly on defense, mishandled hand off, passes not on time on cutter

He's not a P12 player. What he's doing in there now is baffling.

Good to see him hit those 2 shots

Agreed. And I hope it all is just injuries that has affected him & that he flashes the game that had him average nearly 10 a night as a true FR.

Of greater concern is the low ceiling on this program with Mark Fox at the helm. Tonight was a winnable game & they got blitzed in the first 4 minutes of the 2H.

Too many missed layups, too many flubbed loose balls…don’t see how this team is even remotely better next year with this coaching staff. They’re pretty weak - coaching staff wise, especially on offense. It’s borderline unwatchable & that’s on Fox.

Again, this team does not secure loose balls.

It's an epidemic.

This Cal team might as well be down 30

Fox switched up the lineup - he had to. GA/Lars/Jordan were out of rhythm.

This team is not without pieces next year....

Celestine, Sam, Kuany can be a solid nucleus if Fox figures out how best to use them.

only issue is he will have had kuany for 4 years, jalen for 2 and sam for 2.

Agreed...Kuany seems like a guy that is still figuring the game out...

There's definitely something there...if he can just be a little more consistent, he can be an 8 ppg kind of guy....I mean, that's a 3, a bucket and a couple FTs a night....it's doable.

It's on the coaching staff to find a role for him...don't hate him coming off the bench.

I watch this empty Haas and wonder how the hell Fox will keep this job.

Joel Brown should never shoot from outside the key. Ever.

This may not age well, but I think the Bears win this one...Buffs a different team away from Boulder.

We'll see.

Defend walker, keep him off the boards and some how stop battey

Our bigs also need to stay out of foul trouble as we literally have no post depth and if battey is rolling us it could be a long game
