one of the best Cal games I've ever attended, Haas was live, against our rival and down to the last shot

Nice emotion from Madsen after we won. With Celestine doing well we have enough scorers. If we end up on the positive side for the season we should make the NIT. We are a big long shot to win the Pac 12. Wonder how close we came to a sellout. It's been a long time since Cal had them rocking in Haas!!!!!

Whatever happens the rest of the year, my confidence in this coaching staff to RE-build this program is high.

Tyson is back in the huddle and standing upright.

MAKE YOUR DAMN FREE THROWS.

the difference in FT stroke between us and them is night and day. (And I'm not a hoops guy, and I can see it)

Expand full comment

That sequence gave me palpitations. Wow.

Expand full comment

Celestine kept them in this.

Let’s close it out!! C’mon Bears!!!

Expand full comment

There ya go Daws.

Expand full comment

doe he think he's a slasher?

Expand full comment

Furd has a point guard.

We do not.

Expand full comment

Sit Cone down. Barf.

Expand full comment

Make a free throw Aimaq.

Expand full comment

Daws give me 1

Nope

Gonna need to start getting some stops here on out, tho the refs starting to swing things Furd’s way with the whistles.

Expand full comment

Cone didn't get his legs into that one. Yikes.

Expand full comment

He’s been brutal tonight.

Expand full comment

Cone’s killing them

Expand full comment

Aimaq is deadly on the block.

Expand full comment

FT's are gonna cost us another game

Expand full comment

Yup. Daws is horrid from the line.

Expand full comment

brick x2

Expand full comment

Celestine got away with a push off there

Expand full comment

Every time we get close we do something dumb

Expand full comment

wth? a foul on Tyson? Can't wait to get new refs next year

Expand full comment

We’ll still see that asshat Tony Padilla.

Expand full comment

We look much better with a faster pace. And Furd seems to be missing more shots in transition.

Expand full comment

Cone’s gonna have to get it going.

Expand full comment

Even our free throws look like bricks.

Expand full comment

one basket in the first 4 minutes of the half is a recipe for disaster

Expand full comment

This team needs post-defenders next year in the worst way

Expand full comment

Hopefully we can find some shooting in the locker room.

instead we open with a TO; check that, two possessions, 2 TO's

Expand full comment

They look like they’ve never seen a 2:3 zone in their lives. Brutal.

Expand full comment

Terrible for real.

Expand full comment

Kinda weird to see Aimaq in iso out there.

Expand full comment

Let’s get Cone a bucket before half.

Expand full comment

Cone with a great look off the curl, but rushed the shot

Expand full comment

He’s way off. Not really close on the looks.

I defer to your expertise, but by my eyes, he was off bcos he was rushed and didn't need to hurry that time. (be quick , but don't hurry)

Expand full comment

Looks like he’s really rushing things a bit.

Expand full comment

Cone is ice cold. That was a perfect look though.

Expand full comment

Finally Fardaws is getting room to work in the post.

Expand full comment

lost the rythm, and now just playing hero ball

Expand full comment

That deep 3 by Brown with 27 secs on the shot clock SMDH

Expand full comment

Brown isn’t up for this intensity. Grab a seat.

Expand full comment
Jan 27·edited Jan 27

if they keep hitting 3's, we have no chance (as we can't defend the 3)

Expand full comment

Nope. We really can’t defend 2’s either.

Expand full comment
Jan 27·edited Jan 27

sad, but true, and right now the TO's are 4:1

Expand full comment

That Rodney Brown heave screwed up the entire flow.

Expand full comment

Cal can’t really defend without fouling.

Expand full comment

Too easy.

Expand full comment

talk about a quick first step...

Expand full comment

Sure but Brown totally off balance.

Expand full comment

yes, and no backside help. Everyone just watching the game go by

Expand full comment

Picking up the pace seems to have loosened the Furd defense that was stifling us on the perimeter. Love to see Tyson get a lane.

Expand full comment

Let’s get Cone a good look and get him going.

Expand full comment

Larson with points!

Expand full comment

That’s a hook.

Expand full comment

Fardaws is getting all his passing lanes denied on the perimeter.

Aimaq is a horrible defender. 2x DPOY?? How.

Expand full comment

Brutal start. Can’t get a good shot and can’t defend.

Expand full comment

Somebody wanna guard Spencer Jones.
