The free high quality stream on the phone was pretty cool. Thanks WCC network. (That's the extent of my post-mortem commentary)

One would hope so. For my money and being in attendance for this game, this was the most in command I've ever seen Brown. He looked aggressive but was also in control and even hit a 3.

0-12!!!!!! What a shit show. What I don't understand is why Fox hasn't been fired. He has obviously lost control of this team and we aren't getting any better with him in charge. Hell, when Wilcox fired Musgrave and McClure, we won the Big Game and almost beat FUCLA. Sometimes getting rid of the right people is just the thing to start turning things around. Why Knowlton doesn't see this is beyond me. We used to be respectable in basketball and now we are simply a national joke.

There's that moment during a visiting pitcher's no-hit bid where fans switch their loyalty and start rooting for history. December 21 may be our best and perhaps last barrier to perfect ignominy.

Going o-fer and having the strongest possible case to exile Fox and Knowlton has its charms...

I think the score shown in the lead photo is not what happened.

Yeah I used it as the preview picture despite it being a 2021 pic. In hindsight, not the best of moves

Didn’t watch a single play and it was delightful.

the lede picture should be cropped, I thought Cal had won until I noticed the W/L record and realized it was an old pic and prior game. So weird to use that pic with that score given it is almost the exact opposite. Things just get weirder and weirder with Cal MBB and headlines!!

I may or may not have just wrestled with cal fans emotions....

I not only thought they won, but from the front page I thought the game was already over before it started and that I missed it, and then closed the page. I did eventually come back and click through to see the game was in progress though, and put it on (before turning it off after only few minutes, ha). But not sure what the point was of doing this? I realize you went (or go) to SCU so this game might've had a little extra meaning. But I dont think the powers that be at W4C would want to set a precedent that people shouldn't trust information in the images on the front page and you have to read everything in the article first to confirm. Or worst, set the precedent that their writers are going to troll their readers?

just an unintentional mistake on my end, something I didn't really consider to be honest when using the picture

The football team will win more games than the basketball team this year. And the football team sucked.

SCU drills a 3 (might’ve been a double dribble) and Podziemski draws 2 charges and it’s about over
