Glad to end the losing streak against Furd.

And Dai Dai coming out of the 2H was money.

What a W.

So, TT struggled a few times today, BUT he had arguably the biggest stretch of the game at the end of the 1H.

First, he forces a steal down 2 with a minute and change, before hitting that layup and one to put Cal up 1. Then, he elevates for a huge board in the lane on the ensuing ‘Furd possession, and feeds Campbell for the big 3 late to put the Bears up by 4.

Huge sequence.

Total team effort - everyone contributed. Go Bears.

Talking heads saying Lunardi had Cards as first one out of his bracket. I guess they’ve been knocked off that perch! Feels good.

13-5 Cal at #60 in NET Ratings.

Hoping for a WBB win tomorrow to make it a weekend sweep!

Such a satisfying win.

Just as big as UNC IMO.

Big because it was on the road.

Yep - against a fellow bubble team, down 16 early….withstood Furd’s 2H comeback and battled back, showing mental toughness …survived despite Dort being limited & then out…Ilic struggled but made big boards late.

Such a satisfying win. I’m so pumped - gonna watch again.

That’s how they’re gonna Dance.

The tough L at Va Tech flipped something with this roster. Good Hokies team. They battled and really hung with Duke for much of the night despite an off shooting night, and then have stacked their 2 best W’s B2B.

Gotta TCB in Tallahassee.

Great win.

Campbell was huge down the stretch. Tip of the cap.

Need to use what I’ll call a Pack Line Switching Man 2 Man D more.

Chris Bell ain't just a shooter!

Biggest shot of the game was his 3. Huge.

What a game! What a game of swings!

Can any of the Oski disciples say if/when there has been a game in this series where one team built a 16 point lead, and blew it, and the other team them built a 13 point lead, and blew it, and still went on to win by double digits?

This was a satisfying win, but the best was Jorge’s effort to help Cal come back from 22 down (14 down at half)

DJ coming in clutch w/ those back to back offensive boards and layups. I was nervous the door might open back up

Big Dog's avatar

yeah, those boards and put backs were the key down the stretch

Big minutes. Nice game.
