The Bear does not quit. But the Bear better play some tough defense and rebound.

This year Madsen was forced to cobble together a roster through the portal. Honestly, the portal is going to be a way of life, it just is what it is.

My question: once Mark starts building the program through recruiting and development, in whichever form that takes, what exactly is going to be his team’s identity? Defense? Offense?

Tough to really get a sense of that this season, other than to say his Utah Valley teams had a guy in Trey Woodbury running the show that THIS Cal team does not. Woodbury reminded me a little of that Marquette star Tyler Kolek. Love Tyson, but he’s not a point guard…we really have no floor general.

Madsen was a pretty tough defender but I haven't seen that yet. Whatever our offensive identity becomes, we have to fix the turnover issue for it to matter.

Maybe getting a better ball handler or true PG will help (if you can find a PG these days). We just feel like we're playing like less than the sum of our parts.

This got out of hand quickly.

Still in the game despite 2-11 from three to start. Would like to see Aimaq get more involved on the interior

Askew out again. This guy really doesn’t give you much.

Bad luck for him and us. My burning question is about Okafor. What happend to him? Haven't read anywhere about his injury.

I’ve heard it’s knee, a few games back. Saw him on the bench in street clothes with a brace on v. ASU. No idea his timetable for a return, unfortunately, though when he did suffer the injury it was rumored to be potentially serious, FWIW. Best wishes for a quick recovery, as ND has plenty of upside.

Pretty even after 10 minute's. I think we have a shot at this one but got to hit some shots.
