Nice write-up as always,TD, about a glorious win in what is already a terrific season. 6-2 in the ACC, even if we split our last ten games that's enough for a NCCA bid. I believe we'll do better than five wins in ten, maybe seven. BTW, we don't play Georgia Tech until the end of February our other opponent next weekend is Pitt.
Another way of describing last night’s game: a very fine Cal performance interrupted by Cardinal mugging that went “unobserved” even while relying on instant replay. ACC: Were there not THREE flagrant fouls (remember, intent does not matter) and several more offensive charges, only one of which was labeled an intentional (and therefore common foul) in the fourth quarter? We sat in Section 2 and had a very good view of the game and the big screen replays…refereeing lost credibility beginning with the technical foul called on Charmin Smith.
And the technical foul should have never been called. As Charmin said in the postgame presser, she was trying to get the attention of one or more of the refs to call a timeout. They seemed to ignore her. So, she moved down the court and apparently out of the coaching box. Rather than giving her a warning, they gave her the technical instead. Ridiculous!
It was on the ACC extended network. I watched it via the app. TD is referring to the fact that the telecast cut out with 3 seconds left during a mad ball scramble at the Stanford end, with Stanford only down 3.
Yes, I was hoping ACCNX would find the tape & patch it onto the ending of the on demand replay, but alas, just as in the live broadcast, the replay goes dark just as Cal knocked the ball out of bounds. I figured Cal had won, but it was not assured.

Thanks for the correction on the schedule
Just an FYI, Nick is not the author. TD attended the game and did the writeup. We have a larger pool of writers this year and are covering all games.
Thanks, fixed it.

Yeah I totally though elbow to Ioanna’s jaw was flagrant and dirty

It was very discouraging that this important game for the bay area was not televised by the ACC.
