Feel bad for Madsen and the team tonight. They got thoroughly beat at home by a team without their lottery pick PG even playing. Good news is it came early so it can serve as a wake up call ahead of the rest of the ACC schedule.
Too early. Let's see how they respond to this. They got exposed but it could help light a fire. I don't see them completely falling apart on Madsen's watch.
Wow, fitting a team that gave up double-digit offensive rebounds to a small DII school in Marin would struggle with rebounding against a top-20 team. Shocker.
I do like a good reality check for this team, especially early in the season when we have time to regroup and respond. We lose below 15 it’s a good learning experience we can then build on
I like Bell as a catch and shoot guy off the bench. That’s it. Any other role is beyond him. He doesn’t defend, he doesn’t board…occasionally gets a block as a help defender.
Camden lacks the athleticism to play v these types of guys. Dort can’t hang with these bigs.

Thought we were gonna make things interesting down the stretch.
We can squash the NCAA Tournament talk.

Not a competitive night. Good experience for the players.
I’m no expert, but if u don’t make shots u don’t win.
It’s just one game, and the loss to a top-20 team is not what is so hard to stomach.
But despite Louisville missing their best player, Cal does not belong on the same court….in the biggest game at Haas in a decade. Overmatched.
12-1 v the softest schedule you will ever see doesn’t mean a whole lot right now. Completely exposed.
Seen enough.
Cal’s simply not competitive with this level of team.
And Louisville is missing one of their best players man!
Potential lottery pick. Toyed with this Cal team.
Knowlton, Fox, Mike Williams, Wyking…all should be incarcerated. ;-)
Milos Ilic. Yuck.
Where is John camden? 0 points?
He lacks the athleticism to hang with these kinds of athletes.

Correct. Rebounding is a definite weakness for this team. Looking down the bench, any solutions? Yeaney, Rytis, Dut?
I forgot about the game. Checking scores and I see we’re down at half. Reading the comments doesn’t make it seem like it’s worth staying up for.
Started down 10-0. We are not on Louisville's level.
We’re not even close unfortunately.

The reality check is one thing.
The fact that we are not even close to this level is of larger concern.
Like Bell’s shooting but his defense is suspect
It’s basically nonexistent.
Basketball version of Masses, haha. Got his block for the stats, but has been avoiding all the hard work in between.
I feel like he's essentially a streaky shooter that we can't even hope to know what to expect.

Just got caught up to the game. What happened to our ball rotation on offense?
Started playing hero ball - went 3 straight possessions without even getting a shot off.
It’s just awful.
This is the Cal D we have seen v. P4 teams the previous 2 seasons.
Complete breakdowns, no toughness, no fundamentals, no rebounding, no chance.
Ugh.
Cal’s just not at this level.
Gonna have to beat the ND’s, the SMU’s, the Clemson’s, the GA Tech’s, etc.
And maybe North Carolina if they have an off night
You can still dance with L’s to Louisville, UNC, and Duke. That’s not the issue.
Being completely non-competitive in the 1H before a great crowd like this is the problem - tough to see you beating.
These buckets are too easy for Louisville. Overmatched.
