Just watched the game on delay. Tough to squander an 18 point lead like that no matter against who, where, or under what the circumstances. But I told myself if we could even just make this a game that is a sign this team can make some noise. Lots the team can learn from this one that can benefit us.

Was Missouri's offense that good? Or was Cal's defense that deficient?

Felt like both. Throughout they got a lot of free looks but they also made a bunch of jump shots. Their center looked really bad but got 6 lucky points. The real issue I thought was the Cal offense going dry or turning the ball over which led to fast break points and momentum for Mizzou. Really got the crowd into the game.

The stripes are so obviously dictating the tempo it’s laughable.

I kind of blame the refs on the loss, so don't feel too bad about this one. A lot of weird calls to start and end the game. Losing Wilkinson that early in the second half was devastating, I was really worried we'd get trounced in the ACC despite a strong rebuild by Madsen, but I feel like we can be competitive at the very least now.

Ugh! This team has potential and far better than recent past. But life as a Cal fan hurts sometimes. This game is one of those.

Good effort. Nothing you can do when the stripes take over.

Maybe adjust the style of your play to not take so many risks?

At least 3 critical, terrible calls in the last couple of minutes.

As he should. It’s egregious.

Quick BentPawn tell us the last time Cal had a 15-0 run against a DI team? Decades?

Yes, like Madsen has said, teams cannot stay in front of Wilkinson. And he can score at the rim. What a find!! It’s even more impressive in person.

Just clean up the D…that was a real solid effort, down two starters.

Would love to see Mady and Dort play a little better D in the low post…they constantly switched out to the high post with that oaf who was ZERO threat to shoot.

I think it was Mady that let him shoot to open the game, and he nailed it. Probably over-adjusted.

I like this team. Wilkinson is legit.

Like Cal football with the O, if we can figure out how to play even passable defense, the squad can make some noise.
