man, that was some game! All I can say is good thing SC sucks. Haas sure is a great venue when there's something to be excited about.

The golden beers are starting to win the tough games now. They are learning how to win. My prediction is when I get to the tournament cow will be a tough out. They may not have the best record when they get there. But they are going to be battle tested and they are going to be hungry. Body the end of the season. I don't think anybody in the pack twelve is going to want to play Cal.

Wouldn't be CAL without making it more stressful than it had to be. But, that's 2 games in a row with big hyped home crowds and 2 THRILLING Ws!

The Bears are finally figuring out how to win close games. How many OT games have they played now? It was a blast!!!

WHEEEWWW!!!! Good win. We are light years away from where Fox had us. Great to see Haas jumping with students and fans. Far cry from the last three years when people were wearing bags on their heads. GO BEARS!!!!!

Kennedy didn’t have a great night but those two FT’s were MONEY.

Way to battle fellas. Fardaws gave it all.

I take back anything negative I ever said. Everything is wonderful and all is good.

6-6 in conference. UCLA looks tougher these days but it should be a good matchup.

A full Haas would be nice!!

Madsen. Mental toughness.

Great game. Fortitude.

Aimaq put his last bit of energy into that block.

I love how Collier was whining that he was fouled when it was a perfect play by Fardaws

Expand full comment

Kennedy smooth

Expand full comment

Pure.

Expand full comment

who is covering Rodman?

Expand full comment

We guarded him like he was dennis.

Expand full comment

Ugh...good fight by the bears but man..we don't play defense real well (hot take)

Expand full comment

Again, Collier was on a minutes restriction. He’s probably played 40 minutes already.

Expand full comment

Celestine.

That is all.

Expand full comment

Oh, thank you. Nothing’s easy.

Expand full comment

Celestial 3 from Celestine!

Expand full comment

Is collier ACTUALLY getting fouled or just falling down cause he's living at the free throw line and they don't all look like fouls to me

Expand full comment

he is leaning into the defender with his shoulder, imitating contact

He’s lowering the shoulder and initiating contact.

Bears are not being disciplined. KK has leaned into him in response multiple times.

Expand full comment

He's explosive but they aren't calling those soft ones for us

Expand full comment

Our guys look over matched guarding him but ticky tak nothing fouls. And nothing on the other end other than a couple for Jalen tyson

Expand full comment

our guys are trying to get around the defender; only Tyson goes right into them

Expand full comment

Cone’s dribble penetration is useless cause he’s no threat to finish against this front line. Just got to let Tyson win or lose it for us now.

Expand full comment

Come on he was fauled

Expand full comment

Aimaq is playing on fumes.

Expand full comment

Tyson still has the juice. Aimaq can't even get his legs into a layup.

Expand full comment

Aimaq’s been gassed since the under 12…

Expand full comment

YEAH TYSON

Rough night for KK

Expand full comment

How are we in OT and SC still only has 6 fouls. Awful officiating.

Expand full comment

Only one guy with 3. Martin.

Expand full comment

Let’s see if they can show some heart here. But they’re completely gassed. This could go sideways quick.

We need to reward these fans with a W. Suck it up Bears!

Worst half of basketball of the Madsen era. Horrible.

Expand full comment

Shitty set.

Expand full comment

Truly. I'm not even sure what they meant to do...but hopefully not that. I guess at least it wasn't a turnover ?

Expand full comment

Get Aimaq some orange slices and a cat nap.

Expand full comment

just terrible game management. Tyson should take it to the rack and force the ref to call a foul

Expand full comment

Brutal Cal. Just brutal.

THESE REFS ARE ABSOLUTR GARBSGR

just gassed. No legs to jump

The home court planks can't even get in sync with the Cal offense.
