Excellent defensive effort today, and that's without Petraitis. With good defense you always have a chance to win, even if you're ice cold from the field.

Hope our games have a better home than ACCX in conference play

Rytis apparently may be out for the season, which obviously isn't ideal - especially with Yeanay reportedly out indefinitely as well. Hopefully Pippen will be 100% for the Louisville game.

Great to see Carr and Camden step up in their absence, as both guys should be key during the ACC schedule.

Cal sits at 49 in the NET rankings right now, solidly bubble territory. A decent ACC campaign could earn a tourney berth. The conference seems strong, so it won't be easy, but it's been a long while since we've been in this position.

If you can win 8 of the must haves, they’re probably bubble.

Close, but Cal fades in the end to lose 61-58.

They would have won if they had made their free throws.

Meanwhile, at the WBB game in SF, someone needs to tell the folks at the Chase Center there are 3 E's in Berkeley.

Cal it's down 3 at the half...

The missed free throws cause me organ failure. SC'a defense was tough. We got them in foul trouble and got into transition whenever we could (especially when initiated by our defense). Just couldn't hit enough shots.

Cal has had very little bench production. Fortunately, neither has USC.
