It took Mark Fox 15 games, but he finally figured out the recipe for success for this team — shooting 70% from 3 point range. Looks like problem is solved!!!

Well done, Bears!

For a coach and Athletic Director that “won’t give excuses”, they give a lot of excuses. ;-)

Going to need some input for this next claim:

Is Jerod Haase diet Lorenzo Romar 2.0?

I’m going to have to demand a formal apology from one Jimmy Chitwood for his claim that a Jerod Haase led Stanford team would make the NCAA tournament this year

My sincerest apologies….I’ll get it notarized.

Where has this 3pt shooting been all season? It can’t just be Clayton

Bears up 18…GREAT EFFORT.

Fox still needs to go though.

Expand full comment

Damn, what happened?

Worth watching.

Best game in a Cal uniform for Clayton, KK, Alajiki and Roberson…solid minutes from Newell and Okafor.

Expand full comment

Fucking three pointers ablaze. Jesus!

Did we catch Furd napping?

Nice trap game for Furd.

Expand full comment

Not sure Furd caught us napping…they definitely focused attention on Lars…

Cal’s ball movement the past two games (without Askew, which I think is huge, TBH) has been night and day different from the first 14 games. Like with Shepherd last year, and Bradley the year before, after a few initial passes, once that ball got back in his hands, he’d settle himself and then it was going up.

The O has more flow and rhythm without Askew…that’s just a fact. And they’re hitting open shots.

Go Bears!

Absolutely.

If Jim Knowlton hadn’t of blocked me on Twitter, I would tell him “good job.”

Expand full comment

Why on earth would he block you? <sarcasm font>

Sam Alajiki!! Great to see ya bud!

Devin Askew you are the 6th man!

Exactly.

KUANY KUANY!

Dudes got skills.

Expand full comment

Horrible jumper, Joel.

Expand full comment

Joel Brown’s FT ineptitude is a puzzler.

Expand full comment

Nice D from Kuany on that Michael Jones drive.

Expand full comment

Imagine Grant Newell in a better offense.

Expand full comment

Grant Newell is a stud.

Expand full comment

Ball movement and offensive flow has been SO much better the past 2 without Askew…hate to say it.

Expand full comment

Imagine if their starting SR C gave them anything…like, literally anything.

1 point, 1 rebound, awful D.

Okafor should start getting more and more minutes.

Expand full comment

Hey Chitty...Dejuan Clayton serving up crow tonight.

Expand full comment

But a helluva game…

I’d be ok too though if he spread this effort out over the 3 games! ;-)

Expand full comment

Facts…he’s streaky….hopefully they can hold on and win.

However, these are the types of games that he’s had over his 7-year college career…they even out his 5-22 in the first 2…that’s how he ends up shooting 39% for his career….but I’ll definitely take it.

Halftime Cal 45 Stanford 37, just how we drew it up

Expand full comment

Also the best half of Marsalis Roberson’s career.

45-37 bears at the half, grrraaahhh

Best half of Cal basketball in the Fox era.

both teams scorching hot so far

Expand full comment

Kuany knocks the ball out of Okafor’s hands on an uncontested board…right to a Furd player for an Alajiki foul. Cal basketball, people.

Expand full comment

Braun pointed out within first 3 minutes that Fox has had injuries but hasn’t made excuses.

Um, yeah he has Ben.

Lars Thiemann really gives you nothing. Getting owned by the Frenchman.

Stanford -9 is a crazy number from when I saw it in Tahoe this morning. Especially when you consider that Mark Fox almost a .500 record vs Jerod Haase (didnt research this going off the top of my head)

Too many points. I bet Cal.

can you give us a heads-up next time?

Will do. I’m usually the human indicator, though OC B…take my picks and play the opposite…. ;-)
