I lost 2 hours of my life that I will never get back watching that game. Grant and the new pg are the only 2 that can score.

watched a few minutes in the 1st half, when Cal was still leading, & said out loud (to an empty room) 'wow this is going to get ugly; this is a bad basketball team'. Knowlton probably isn't bold enough to take any action unless he's forced to, so the revenue sports are going to stay at the bottom.

Wilcox to Knowlton: let's talk under-achieving, vanilla coaching that drives fans & recruits away, but ensures we have consistent mediocrity for a decade.

Fox: : hold my beer!

Even if that's no longer a catch-phrase, are these 3 boring AF white guys the best Cal can come up with in this century? Good lord, if I could afford to buy them all out at the same time, I would. In a heartbeat.

>The Golden Bears will have something to prove after being picked to finish last in the preseason media poll.

That the poll was correct?

I don't have to know a damn thing about basketball to know that Cal should not lose to UCSD. Period. Ever. I've been a rabid Cal basketball fan since 1987. My feet were on the floor when Jason Kidd dribbled by at the Coliseum. I stormed the court when Kevin Johnson lead the way to beat UCLA. I traveled all the way to Spokane to watch Cuonzo face Hawaii and see us lose. My devotion is not in the stratosphere, but I'm sure up in the clouds somewhere. Fox is a perfectly fine human, but his teams lack both the talent and execution to compete in the Pac 12. Major donors have to insist to Knowlton that he do something or lose his own job.

We will not win a single game this year. Not one.

Another historic achievement for Cal basketball; the first win for UC San Diego over a Pac-12 team, and its by double digits, 80-67.

Can we fire Fox now? Getting pushed around by UCSD on our home floor is Wyking-esque. One game in and I’m ready to ask about how his contract is structured.

Hot garbage

Not a promising start. Even if we eek out a W.

It's all jump shots from deep, and they don't shoot jump shots at a high percentage.

Is Fox vaxxed?

How/why is Cal down 4 of their "important" players before they ever played a game?

Alajiki kept a rebound alive on the offensive end, played solid D and hit a 3. Quality first 2 minutes.

If AK is taking jumpers, we have no rebounding whatsoever.

Thanks Rob!

Rough start for Grant - Anticevich burned twice now

Also, I noticed we're playing OSU at home on a Thursday in early December, but then travelling to Utah for the Sunday game. Don't understand some of the scheduling.

A 2pm game on a Tuesday? It's as if they don't want anyone to know we have a mens basketball program.
