Well. Time to dust off the old article on his contract after that embarrassing loss.

I feel bad for Grant, but he just doesn't have the touch right now.

The other games in this streak were at least interesting. This one was just boring. I think Fox needs to go, no more benefit of the doubt. DeCuire from Montana, you available?

They’ve passed on DeCuire multiple times. Hiring him on the 3rd go round would be the most Cal thing ever.

Dennis Gates is the guy.

I actually think Gates would say no. His career arc is trending to bigger programs. DeCuire just continues to produce at Montana. Maybe 3rd time's the charm for both sides. Shantay Legans is .500 this year at Portland, but had a nice run at EWU for the last few years.

No thanks.

Shantay is so low on my list after bailing on a real solid Cal team his SR year to go sit a season & then play for Ray Lopes at Fresno St. Plus he makes Sam Cassel look like Jimmy Garoppolo.

Gates would not seem to fit Knowlton’s MO of hiring average retreads. The fact that we’re already talking about his 2nd MBB hire in 4 years is a problem.

Lars comes in, makes a decent play at the rim and gets fouled and makes the shots. Immediately subbed out for an ice cold Grant. SMH.

2 awful shots early from Kuany, and Thiemann's hands of stone with a TO. Down 10-2. Sigh.

They should not have passed low

Lars playing good D

Wyking Jones sitting on the UW bench next to Coach Hopkins. Sheesh.

Jimmy Chitwood's avatar

Left the program in ruins...tatters...

Rob Hwang's avatar

The hilarious part about all of this is that Wyking may have been a terrible coach but Fox had his best year year using Wyking’s recruits 🤣🤣🤣 Wyking pulled multiple 4-stars despite terrible product. And Fox is STILL relying heavily on some of Wyking’s talent in year 3.

Meanwhile, Wazzu is schooling Stanford, up 16 with 8 minutes left. Stanford looks like a high school team, and yet they beat Cal 5 days ago.

BentPawn(Don)'s avatar

Stanford made it interesting, closing to within 3, but Wazzu gets the 4 point win.

Wazzu playing themselves onto bubble.

Does P12 get 5??

Jimmy Chitwood's avatar

Gotta put Grant on the bench... he’s killing them

Get Alajiki minutes. Get Anwanyu minutes.

Jimmy Chitwood's avatar

Unwatchable...again.

Any momentum they’d picked up in pre-season is gone. This program remains a dumpster fire. Poor kids...they’re still battling.

Foreman really worked on his tear drop

Will Lars game MVP for two games in a row?

Jimmy Chitwood's avatar

Fox gotta go. You’re just wasting everyone’s time, Knowlton.

bigaddi's avatar

Does Fox have any understanding of how to coach an offense?

hoopdreams's avatar

At this point, get ball to Lars (high pass)

hoopdreams's avatar

No Kelly and Grant can’t hit a shot

hoopdreams's avatar

No Kelly, Foreman a go

I rarely read these in time, or too early then forget......that kind of team. But in twenty minutes, I will fire up the tv, leave it on mute, and occasionally check the score.
