When it rains, it pours. Football and basketball find new and interesting ways to lose to teams (UC Davis, UCSD, Colorado) that they should beat handily. Sport gods, why do you hate us so?
It grows tiresome to hear broadcasters continue to portray a poor shooting, 7th year transfer in DeJuan Clayton as some kind of indispensable savior for this team…as if some switch is gonna be flipped. The team can not shoot.
If starting the season with two losses in three games to the big sky and the big west isn’t the final straw for fox, it will be the last bit of evidence I need to confirm, in my mind, that the cal administration is actively trying to sabotage our intercollegiate athletics program.
Not at all rooting for it, but nothing irks Old Blues like losing to a bad Furd team in the Big Game. If Knowlton’s not already feeling it, he would then.
hell not even only old blues this includes myself, I'm already incensed at everything as is and if Big Game goes awry good heavens Knowlton is going to be in a self made inferno
I just don't understand why they refuse to see that football and men's bball pays the bills for the other 29 sports. Either the two revenue sports start winning, or they budget for the other sports gets cut. Just that simple.
No doubt, I played guard on an RSF intramural group and we had a 6'7"guy who could dunk whenever he wanted and actually was not bad. As I remarked somewhere else with the lack of cohesion and clutch play Cal would lose to a good high school team that had a coach who understood basketball.
After the UC Davis loss and then getting blown out at home v the worst team in the B12 (according to the media poll), the few fans that remained of the program seem to have finally turned…kinda like after the Colorado game with Musgrave. Fox is now the dead man walking…
I don’t recall a Head Coach at Cal that has thrown his/her players under the bus with the regularity that Mark Fox has, though…nothing is his or the coaching staff’s fault - it is always the kids. It grows tiresome.

This is a tarmac level loss, folks.
And the commentators making 7th year journeyman DeJuan Clayton out to be some kind of savior is baffling.
We probably won't go winless but whoever loses to cal this year should be completely embarrassed.
MMMMMOOOOOOZZZZZIIIIIILLLLLLAAAAA
Final score: UCSD 64 Cal 62
This is good. And I don't think I need to tell you why this is good.
Maybe the best week for it too. Lots of Big Game donor events that Knowlton and Christ will need to show their faces at.
This loss is catastrophic and shifts the pressure to Knowlton.
He’ll likely do nothing.

of course. the boss has already intimated taht other things are just as important as winning.
I just don't understand why they refuse to see that football and men's bball pays the bills for the other 29 sports. Either the two revenue sports start winning, or they budget for the other sports gets cut. Just that simple.
This is very good.
UCSD makes 1 FG the final 6 f-ing minutes and still win.
Horrific loss.
hope there is one less seat on the return flight.....
bingo
that's a wrap
Ucsd hits a 3
Dagger
Just a dagger....
Cal can’t get reboud
Brown 2 pt
Sd hits second

1:12 ucsd hit first. Fox TO
60-58
Foul on newell
Lost the balll
Cal ball 1:31
One point game
59-58 UCSD with 2:11 left, Tritons collapsing
Complete collapse. It would make a loss even more devastating, if that's possible!
57-52 under 4 media timeout. It's a dogfight.
53-45 UCSD under 8 media timeout
Winning the 2nd half.....
UCSD withstood the early 2H run...we'll see what happens now.
44-33 UCSD under 16 media timeout
Battling
I'm starting to get nostalgic for the Wyking era.
Has Cal played a good half of basketball since the 1H v Wichita State in Maui?
#fire Wilfox
37-27 UCSD halftime, Cal was down by as much as 18
so you mean. 'there's a chance'?
Bears only in the game because of the FT line...wow, that's a shocker.
#FireFox
Mooooooooo-ZILLLLLLLAAAAAA
You know I expected a loss but this is absurd.
That statement is true and absolutely awful.
25-8 UCSD.
Knowlton is an embarassment...
25-8 UCSD 8:06 to the half. God I love Cal basketball
Fans need to say enough is enough.
Ummm...19-6. is this real,?
16-6 UCSD under 12 media timeout. Just as we wrote it up.
In news that should surprise no one that's been paying attention, UCSD up 22-8.

3 straight turnovers
Two straight turnovers now...previously, Kuany passed up an open look early in the shot clock from the top of the key.
Fox has no semblance of an offense.

man my undergraduate alma mater vs. my current graduate school/school i grew up rooting for. Not sure who to root for!
A must win. Go Bears!
Cut above how? Not this year. I'd argue a cut below. This is an unprecedented start. I can't see a scenario where we'll be favored again this year.
There are some players at RSF. I used to get over some guys there too in my day.
No doubt, I played guard on an RSF intramural group and we had a 6'7"guy who could dunk whenever he wanted and actually was not bad. As I remarked somewhere else with the lack of cohesion and clutch play Cal would lose to a good high school team that had a coach who understood basketball.
They’d definitely be down 15 at the under 8 timeout.
Cuz we’re expecting a loss
