If the Bears play like this with everyone contributing we might be able to turn the season around, but we'll still have to win the Pac-12 tourney to get a shot at the Dance. (OK, blue and gold colored glasses on).

Pretty fantastic for nine point underdogs

THAT cover was the lock of the year. It opened at 7.5 and went up…unreal. Easy money….

I go to games to support the players, and it is a joy to see their joy. They work hard, never lost heart, and deserve every bit of satisfaction beating the robber barons.

Yes, there’s variance, but also the team showed patience and smarts in passing the ball for many open threes. It wasn’t just luck.

Things come to a screeching halt with Askew and Lars on the court together. Guys stand around waiting for DA to do something, just like with Shepherd last year…just like with Bradley the prior year. Different bigs of course.

THIS offense looks different, and both the ball and player movement created open looks. ‘Furd took Lars away with low post doubles, and good things happened…whoa, low and behold, maybe NOT running your O thru the unskilled big guy with horrible hands and no jump shot is a good thing?

We should just shoot 16-22 every game

Great effort by the boys.

You forgot to use the “sarcastic” font.

Let’s see after a few more games.

Nice couple of games…look forward to seeing them at the Palouse…that’s a winnable game. Also wanna see what they do when they’re not hitting 16-22 from 3!

But very nice to see our guy Sam Alajiki play like we know he can play.

I told you so, you flip flopper.

That’s BS. I’m hardly a flip flopper. I can acknowledge a good game - they played well…the last two games are record setting performances that are unsustainable...

And Fox should still be fired.

Fair enough, all good!

This next one is now a big weekend, though. Winnable games at the Washington schools, maybe build something. Who knows…

I do absolutely think there is something about the O that is better without Askew. More rhythm, more flow.

Big weekend for Wilcox, too…got some recruiting visitors. That was a good hoops game to bring them to, tho. Fingers crossed.

To be honest, I've only actually watched a total of ~10 to 20 minutes of Cal basketball this year, early on before I quit on them. I usually just come here to get the recap, and revel in how bad of a coach Fox is, thinking I was witnessing history as far as bad coaches go. I was going to cancel my Sling account after this month, but hell maybe I'll start tuning in now and keep it for a while!

I’ll be honest, it is gonna take a lot for me to not want a coaching change. I’m not there yet.

Colorado is an entirely different team at home, in the altitude of Boulder...entirely.
